Yes I know Joe has insulted you - don't need more bold-text quotes. So have you insulted him, and I don't see anyone quoting bold-text of those.)

The bold text is not to highlight the insults and name-calling that I have been subjected to - it is to indicate editing comments.

Had I ever posted abusive personal attacks upon any other poster here - I am sure that these examples would be given......

But the Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team is not just another poster. The example he sets will be followed and thought acceptable.
