"I am just curious as to why Lively feels unable to state his position on the central issue keeping this thread running."
No you're not - you are attempting to smear two members of this forum with sewer-level innuendo.
Personally I don't give a shit what you think about me - it certainly couldn't be lower than the opinion I have of you - but I think you owe Lively an unconditional apology for your shit-level suggestion AND AN IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL - don't you?
