WEll, for what it is worth, watching this whole thing unfold, whether it was really swamp or not, if it was him, I think he may have a few valid points.

Howard - I see you as being a true gentleman who can be reasoned with.

Jimmy - you need some work (but I like your unending spirit)

If this really was Swamp, and if he were having some mental problems because of all of this, the proper thing would be to show a little respect for the situation, and not continue kicking a guy when he is down and almost out.

I cannot count the number of times I have had people tell me
"I just don't understand him" or "I just don't understand her". Well folks, the simple answer is that to really understand anyone else, all one has to do is understand oneself, because deep down inside we are mostly the same and mostly want and need the same things.

What happened here is, purely and simply, an escalation. It really doesn't matter who started it. It just got started. And then one person said something. And then another person said something. Then the first person got pissed and said something more. then the second person got pissed and said something more. then the third person chimed in and said something. then the fourth and the fifth, and on into the night. The testosterone kept flowing like a river in springtime, and by the time everything was over and done with nobody but nobody was really better off, and probably everybody was worse off.

You guys are all correct. It is none of my damn business, and it really doesn't matter to me if anyone goes back to Swamps site or not, or whether he lets anyone come back or not. I just hope that this entire exercise has shown how things can escalate and get out of hand, and how feelings can be hurt. I would hope that everyone would really think about that and step up to the plate such as Howard has done and attempt to try to stop the name calling and the foul langauge regardless of what anyone else is doing. As you learn when you are a child, just because the other kid jumped off the bridge doesn't mean you have to do so.

I know that I shouldn't enter into this, but I will anyway. There is no way that is Swamp posting on this thread. He writes in a manner that makes me think he is about to burst into tears at any moment. If you read his posts, they have a feminine emotional quality to them. Like he is always trying to appeal to your sensitive side.

At first, I thought it was the Swampster. But that last post was a bit much. I think someone is having a bit of fun.

Actually, I was shocked to see Swamp post at all, but now I'm afraid that he really hasn't after all....

Oh well.
