But dude, don't go. You're a bad ass. The last thing we need around here is less badasses.

AND remember, men don't apologize, they buy each other beers.![]()
Whatever differences we've had James, I appreciate the apology and I hope that you'll consider staying on as a member of this community. As stated privately, my condolences.
.... This was my favorite place on the net ....
Be well and God Bless you and your family.
TB is a great place but we all need a change from time to time. This place is full of fun, interesting and frustrating people. If we are to thrive here we need to be a diverse group. Inclusion needs to be absolute. However, with all of the different personalities here it is at times difficult to act with restraint. It seems that a situation got the best of you at a time when personal stress was already high. It happens, don't over think it.
I have never been a moderator, but you folks are flawed just as the rest of us are flawed. I don't expect any more from you or any other moderator. You are trying to keep the yard clean and it's gotta be a tough job. You seem to have done it well as is evident by the posts in this thread from your peers.
Take some time and shed on that beautiful Bee... I'm sure we'll see you again.
Be well James...
Mark
