I never said that I don't like *you*. I don't like your *treatment* of me.

If you didn't walk around swinging your moderation baton, I couldn't care 
less whether you consider me your enemy or not. But you do, so I care.

Bob, this is becoming annoying. Do not tempt me to provide proof that the 
things you've said to me were far nastier than anything I've ever said to 
you. Unlike you, I don't hate you based on your political or economic views, 
I just have a strong distaste for your bully tactics.

My position on many issues (including this one) can be summed up in three 
words: LEAVE ME ALONE. You don't like it when I rub the truth in your face? 
Then lay off of me.


> Will I resign if you continue to complain? No.

It worked for you, that's how you and Olin "got rid of" James. What's 
different now?

You ignored my question: how does one become an admin? If we were able to 
communicate on equal terms, I am sure there would be a lot less friction 
between us.
