I agree that I hope everyone stays. If Rippersnapper should apologize for anything it should be his/her choice of words. NOT for the opinion...
And if apologizing for use of words is in order.. Rippersnapper should be receiving some as well.
Emotions run VERY high in these cases... when you really face it the ONLY thing we can do from where we sit at our computers is pray for all involved.
Ripper can either take the licks or not, but what we don't need to happen is the victimhood and the following tongue lashings and requests for apologies.
I can also live without the remarks about how somebody USE to post on other threads.
We're all grown ups here; we get along with other posters on some threads, and on other threads we rip their hearts out. That's just the way FR is.
Good point Pamlet, However trying to put the puzzle together is a source of interest coupled by generating good discussion. NSNR
