One of the reasons I like PA that it's reasonably lively and rather opinionated at times, yet well-mannered on balance. Once in a while someone would ruffle somebody else's feathers, but nothing lethal. 

Two major problems 

1- the Internet is a jungle , where exotic birds and fruit survive next to scary monsters. You can get ambushed, triangulated and shot at but you must soldier on. 

2- English is a terse, relatively emotionless language that can, under circumstances such as invisibility of the typer, to easily misinterpret the meaning (or density) of rebuttals, difference of opinion etc....Using emoticons can soothe the reply . Sarcasm, irony and judgment are the unfortunate tools of the word sniper. 

Do like I have a few times, ignore those who pass judgement on you and forgive them, for they know not that they have sinned. Or best yet, respond with humor , as some have no sense of it at all.   

Which explains my post signature below. 

Diabolical.

The problem I have with you is that you take your frustrations about another member and decide to make a thread about it. Everyone reading PA inside the last two days know perfectly well who you're talking about. 

Like I said in my mail to you: you've never once approached any member of the admin team about your concerns, which is the way these things are handled. You post in the open forum. When that then is about a "bullying situation" you yourself instigated, and, perhaps far more worrying, about a respected longstanding member, I close the thread. Then again, I would've done the same had any other member been involved.
