Your choice how you build your board persona but if you plan on doing business from the board and assuming this really isn't a 2nd nick it will be

Oh, and have I said lately,
Go Sarah!
Point taken, I can see how you could determine I was posting under a false nick to start trouble.

However, what I originally said to Baddog had no ill intentions, simply pointing out that it goes both ways. He was the one posting taking up collections for Sarah, nothing wrong with that, quite admirable actually. But then he was asking for people to stick their nose in other people's business, then he turns around and says to keep your nose out of people's business.

That is wrong, it goes both ways and that is all I was pointing out. I never insulted him or attacked him in any way, of course Baddogs reaction was an obvious reflex negative reaction, which does not surprise me coming from him so I took it with a grain of salt.

As far as my board persona, what is wrong with the truth? I have asked in several posts to please come out and tell me exactly what I said that was so offensive to anybody. Anyone who cares to take a deep breath, calm down and let their Prozac kick in before they go back and reread my previous post can see I did not attack anybody, nor speak negatively of anybody here (until of course troll patrol came in a began attacking me first, for whatever reason he never was able to articulate).

Nobody has answered because they cannot find anything, I have done nothing but simply state two sides of the issue and how both could be easily accepted, and again I have said nothing but nice things in regards to Sarah and dealing with her loss. Seems to me more people are looking for reasons to attack anyone who dares open their mouths to say anything without in fact reading what they have said first.

And quite frankly I would never do business from this board. I can handle my business personally, and I thought this was a webmaster community for all to hang out and enjoy, not everyone here is interested in creating a fake board persona for the sake of doing business.

But today was a nice reminder of why I never posted much in the first place, trying to add some common sense or neutrality to any discussion that takes place on any message board is a bit like beating your head against a brick wall.
