Larry,
Unlike you, I have only been on this forum for fewer months than you have been years.

In that short time I have found your posts to be some of the most technically well based, bar none!! I have learned a lot from you.

If some feel that you have been "politically incorrect" then maybe they are the ones that need to reconsider their ideas and values. A little tolerance and a fair go appears to be often lacking in many places in society these days.

Maybe there is a need for some minor changes to procedure to improve things.
Maybe it would be easier just to have a post that some one found inappropriate simply removed.
Many on here feel that if some one is given a warning, its a bit rich then to go to the next step (infraction) for a post that occurs prior to them receiving the warning. Even in road law violations here in Australia, an offense can not be considered a second offense unless it occurred after some one has received their first offense notice.

If a small number of people on here can not accept you for how you are at any particular time in your life, then maybe they need to learn a little tolerance in their life.

If you ever feel that I have behaved like say "an idiot", then please feel free to tell me!! I, like many on here with 50+ years on this planet will not be running off sulking about being called something that I probably deserve to be called.

Please dont feel that you need to "change your ways". There are those that would see your forthright approach as inappropriate, I would respectfully suggest that if any of the men & woman on this forum feel that way then maybe they have some "growing up to do"!
If I could not take being told that I had been ###### or #######, then best I take time out to grow up a little.

I have taken the time to search & read the post of yours that has been deemed inappropriate. If ever I was to bait you about some thing, you along with other members have my permission to tell me to #################.
In the eyes of many on here Larry, you have nothing to apologize for !!

My comments may be those of a brash Aussie.
Like you, I have had the opportunity to to experience life's ups & downs & hope that you will realize in time, that you are a far better person for it!!

If some wish to play "silly little games of he called me a name or told me to do that" then maybe best to give them plenty of rope & let them do it to them self.

Best Wishes & good luck !!!!
