Thank you all for reminding visitors to use their REAL first and last names. I’m grateful for the “community watch” we have going here.

I know several people who left TT because of you, Malky, myself included. I can only hope you now truly mean what you say about not wanting to make everyone feel bad.

That’s why I do regret what I said. Not because it isn’t true, but because I believe in giving people a clean slate, and I shouldn’t have made that mark against you, when some people here don’t know you from other sites. I do sincerely apologize for that and I encourage Alan to delete it.

One thing I did always respect about you is that you were at least honest about your identity.

Dawn, you just can’t help yourself going that step too far. I’ve never been kicked off any cartoon site.
You’ve said your last remark “wasn’t very nice” but it was more than that, it was a libel.

I suggest you clarify your remark, or provide proof as quick as you can, because this is a new site, and I suspect that you’re already regretting posting a smear on a site you can’t edit.

For all those who are reading this unfortunate set of posts, let me say this, before the thread is (unfortunately but understandably) deleted or edited.
These kinds of “debates”, shall we say, often attract eyeballs and increase hits to site or a thread, from rubberneckers and lurkers who love to see other people go at it. That might be a boost in the short term but in the long term it ruins a site, its reputation and its future.

It’s perfectly obvious to me that Alan doesn’t want that kind of debate, nor that kind of poster (anonymous, especially).

Vigorous debate or robust, honestly felt opinions are one thing, but anonymous egoists or needlessly spiteful posts make everyone feel bad.

I’d hate it if it came down to people being reluctant to even enter a thread because of whoever’s already there.

Don’t worry, you can count on me staying clear of you, always.
