Is that so?
Not that it will effect me one iota, nor diminish my participation, but it certainly effects my respect for His Lardship in future dealings.

Last response, merely a clarification:
“Not that it will effect me one iota, nor diminish my participation, but it certainly effects my respect for His Lardship in future dealings.”
I said that, and it does not constitute a personal attack. For what I mean by it, read my post preceding it. I was pointing out that imho he was acting as the lord of the manor, not bound by the rules he makes for others. My proof was his conduct.
Here’s an example of what a personal attack would look like: “...it certainly effects my respect for His Lardship, who must stop guzzling KFC, pork rinds and Guinness Stout before he drops dead of heart disease, and butt-rogering his Administrators so they can get some sleep nights.” That would have been a personal attack. But I did not say that. I have only posed it here as a hypothetical statement that would have constituted a personal attack. So I made no personal attack on Mr. Robinson, merely an attack on his overt conduct, which I thought questionable. The distinction being that I did not speculate on matters of his sexual conduct, parentage and hygiene concerning which I have no knowledge and which are not the subject of legitimate discussion. I restricted my comments to the propriety of posting an editorial as breaking news, using the appellation “his Lardship” as an indication of what I thought of that act. Not personal.
Now go have the last word. I’ve finished my first draft of my article, and am disappointed at the continuation of this business while I was occupied elsewhere.
