DT – I am sorry if my combatants have managed to convince you that I might be using you as a pretext to get back at them. Please try and believe me when I say that I WAS (and remain) completely taken aback by what has transpired between you, Aleck, Flame (and to a lesser extent, FX) – and regard it as symptomatic of a problem that needs to be addressed by Tony. This is nowhere better illustrated than the tendency for those to believe what they want to according to partisan lines and/or existing predispositions. I don’t think that it is any *coincidence* that this has been between three moderators mutually supporting each other and a very active member obviously highly esteemed in their eyes. Whilst i wouldn’t go so far as to imply a conspiracy, I understand why you might feel conspired against. but Aleck knew you weren’t being literal – you were just obviously describing how you were feeling, and he extrapolated from there.
Bonnee, I do not believe that your sympathy for me extends beyond an excuse to post inflammatory messages, nor do I condone this “crusade” you’ve started.

As for others’ opinions: As much as I argue with DT, I don’t immediately write off his opinions or attack them without thinking. I may take issue with the way in which he presents them, or the reasoning that brought him to those opinions (if I see that reasoning as being flawed or misinformed), but I always give his ideas and opinions consideration, and as I’m sure even he will attest (and has, in stating that I was agreeing with him), they are not simply dismissed as being worthless.
My reasoning is never flawed.
