I would like to say thank you to those readers who have sent me quiet messages of solidarity or thanks. It's nice to be reminded I'm not alone out here and I really appreciate that.

Fram. That is not what the said member emailed to me. It was wrong of you to say 'his exact words were' when that wasn't the case. The addition of a couple of words changes the nuance of the statement.

Please lets leave this, I will not cut and paste a private email here to prove a point.

Fair go, I was just going by what he quoted to me verbatim.

I went to the Bazar to check out Cubs wares, but found nothing that tickled my particular fancy. Now I am unsure how to proceed.

the number of members who PMed as it’s a very easy metric to focus on.

Only if it's a valid one. What does it matter if a LAF member spoke to me via PM or Facebook? Why is a message from one week ago more relevant than one from three weeks ago when we're discussing a long term trend? Any number produced with such arbitrary restrictions will be nothing more than a distraction rather than any form of useful data.

Well that depends... are you going to show us your nipples or not?

Speaking of which, one of my oldest friends had to have his nipples removed as they caused him constant pain. So now we say he has "Noples".

There'll never be a shortage of people who'll offer to hold your coat, or load your gun (or at least claim they have - always check the chamber first)... just as long as they don't have to do the actual shooting, or face the returned shot and shell.

Fram, please don’t send me any more PMs that assert your assumptions about my character, maturity, thinking, purpose, and objectivity, and which by doing so you come across as passive-aggressive abusive. In fact, please don’t send me any more PMs at all. Thank you.

Now what possible reason could you have for posting this in this thread instead of simply sending it as a reply to my message? Get over yourself. 

Rest assured that anyone who goes around publicly complaining about private communications won't be receiving any more PMs from me.

By the way, if you're going to make this sort of a stink, you might as well quote me so that others can judge for themselves.

You seem to have a very odd idea of what is and isn't appropriate for PMs.

Such a suggestion cannot go unanswered.

I see you’ve edited your post since I started to reply. My question of you still stands: are you suggesting that I am being untruthful? It is a simple yes or no.

I might've given you a piece of my mind (joke about my not having much to to spare goes here), but I think you're way off the mark.
