Well guys,I am not a professional in anything but opinions. So this is my personal opinion. When I first read the threads on this subject I could see how some of what was said could be taken the wrong way by several parties. I have seen many misspell, miss-state,and others have made a joke or otherwise tried to make it a little easier to swallow a corrective statement(s). I am in my 50's and am somewhat thick skinned so my corrections for my misstatements or lack of knowledge on a particular subject does not mean a hill of beans one way or another.
IMH-OPINION,it is one thing for a somewhat newbie(like me) to get a bur under their saddle and drop out. Not good necessarily, but hey, it happens.
It is completely different, IMHO when a long term, Maybe or maybe not a moderator,ambassador,correspondent,or really anyone who knew or knows George1,had read the comment(s) that was out of character,stop and just pm'ed or even called him to kinda work it out. IMHO, It is sad a 90+ year old, long term contributor to this site that has at least in my mind given opinions/advice to many a thread, is rebuked in the public eye.
IMHO I feel there was an injustice that went a bit to far with those who control the PB forum and not only my current thread, but this whole subject should stop and be deleted.
I am still going to be here and present my opinion(s0. So, in another 30 or so years when I am in my 90's I would hope we could overlook some miss statement I might make due to my filter not working as well as others or whatever.My filter is already plugged somewhat anyway!
There is very little to learn hear(these threads) other than you better watch what you write, no matter if it is out of character or not.
I do not know if this can be wound back and George1 can or will come back, but I think PB lost something here and surly gained nothing.
I am going to get off my box.
