Jeff,
Well it's pretty obvious that we both have hard heads, both hate to back down from a confrontation, and both have short fuses, eh? I think it's time we try to work this out between us and try to mend whatever is broken before it gets any further out of hand. I am sure we could both be spending the rest of our lives in court fighting each other, but is that what you or I really want to do? I think we both have better and more productive things to do with our time and efforts, and I am suggesting that we try to talk this out and stop butting heads continually.
It is pretty unbelievable that this has been going on for so long and I personally am tired of the conflict, tired of hearing about what you do on your site, and tired of this whole damned mess. I sincerely wish that I had not been swayed by those people who got themselves all worked up in a lather when I decided to end the warfare a while back, at least my part of it, by canning the discussions about other sites on my boards. By allowing it to continue, it just allowed this all to continue eating away at any possibility of a peaceful resolution. I positively and sincerely had intended to do exactly what I stated about eliminating such talk on my site.
People are now egging me on to sue you, probably people are egging you on to sue me. But I have to wonder how many people would be completely overjoyed if we both went down with death grips on each other's throats?
So I am asking you flat out: Do you want to try to work this out?
I don't even know if we can, maybe the gulf is too wide now, but I think it would be a good idea for everyone if we at least try.
And yes, I am apologizing for those things I have done just to tweak your nose, or get a laugh at your expense. I guess my feelings got hurt, and yes I am human. But regardless, I really should have been above all that and tried to set an example for other people to follow.
Have a fulfilling Thanksgiving, regardless.
