I have a technical question. Is there an un-applause button? I'd like to un-applause Martin Gibson. While his attacks are less obscene then they were at his worst, they are still relentless and self-important. I have no way of knowing whether the diminishment in obscenities is a change in his way of expressing himself, stricter moitoring or a response to warnings that he's received in private from Joe. I suspect that if we were sitting in Joe's shoes(unless they are very large, they wouldn't be comfortable to sit in) we'd see things very differently. We only see what we are allowed to see. And I applaud Joe and his fellow compatriots for weeding out most of the garbage before we ever see it.

Now, Martin couldn't be Martin if his primary targets didn't endlessly engage him in an interchange of insults. It long ago passed the "Ma!, He started it" or "Martin's on my side of the seat" stage. I don't think that there's any question who "started it." Martin brags about starting it and causing all the turmoil he does.
And still does. The posts may be less obscene (everything is relative) but the motivation hasn't changed.

So, Martin... the best I can offer is one hand clapping. The sound of silence.

Sorry

Maybe next time.
