I will leave this post up for now and will offter my full and most humble apology if it turns out I am wrong in this. I don't believe I have ever used my true name on this forum. I'm in the process of going over my old posts now.


My humblest apologies. I believe I was mistaken.

What happened is obvious. A shame.

Edit: Well, maybe I was wrong.

Well if Canuck was Mr. Kalgushi, I would have been banned a long time ago. But then again, he might have a troll fetish Laughing .

Seems a shame to waist the thread so:

A funny thing happened to me today. I went to see the doctor and he said: 'What seems to be the problem?
Well, doctor, I replied, I seem to have a strawberry stuck in my navel.
Don't worry, said the doctor, I'll give you some cream to put on it.'

IIIIIIIII thank you!

Me: "Doctor doctor, I feel like Tom Jones!"

Doctor: "It's not unusual!"

While no doubt I will take much flak over this incident I am willing to admit I was mistaken and take my lumps.

Earlier in the evening I had sent a pm to a moderator asking to speak to Canuck regarding his sometimes abrasive commentary. A few minutes later canuck responded in a post we were previously engaged in using my first name. At that time I had no recollection of ever giving using my first name on this board and was a little freaked out by it. I posted a rash response and although it was only up briefly a few of you appeared to catch it.


With the help of another member of this board I was able to verify that my original assumption was incorrect. My apologies to canuck. I am however able to take comfort in the fact canuck was able to recall my first name from all the posts he/she must have read over the years. I'm flattered, really. Wink

You asked a moderator to speak to me, about my posts? Let's summarize.

We both lose. Actually, we all lose. Or as some on this forum used to say, we all "loose" or are "loosers". Rolling Eyes Confused

These taxes lick.


You jump in!

And let's be honest there big boy. While I truly understand the irony in my momentary lack of concentration I NEVER called anyone on this board "loosers", I asked IF WE WERE CONSIDERED "loosers" by some. Wink

You truly are a pathetic individual Canuck. Rolling Eyes

By the way, I didn't know you were a mod. Wink Or is there another way you know my first name. I'm intrigued. Wink


Then to stick the cherry on top...

I really think you need a good night's rest to give your head a shake. Tomorrow can be another day of paranoia.

You might be flattered by Canuck (and I do realize you are being sarcastic) but I really wish the moderators--whoever they might be--would send him on his way. My theory is that people like Canuck are the way they are because all day they have to act all cheerful and goody-goody for their students/administrators and the only release they have is to ruin somebody's day on a forum. Sad.
