Carrabuh, I've done my best to defuse the situation, including unreserved apology for swearing. I also think (though happy to be corrected) that I've been pretty reasonable, a few posts in that thread aside. I certainly feel quite poorly treated and have had a couple of PMs (not from Dave) confirming as such, but understandably not wanting to be involved. However, Munky has now gone on a vendetta streak, reading insinuations that don't exist into posts of mine and has at no point acknowledged how offensive he's being/been.
I'm confident that I can ignore the abuse (no need to worry about me, I can stand up for myself! People can mock me all they like as long as they are prepared to back it up...) but when it's clearly ruining a perfectly decent thread started by someone other than the two of us, I don't think that's fair on the OP. That's why I asked Dave to step in because i presumably cant communicate with Munky. Tis isn't the only thread Munky appears intent on continuing the dispute. I didn't ask Dave to take sides and at no point has he said that he supports me - that's your interpretation.
Maybe you'd be so kind as to tell him to just drop it and explain that I've apologised given that he obviously thinks Dave is biased? I think that would be a relief to all. Not least him, because I am genuinely concerned about a guy who has posted virtually exclusively about me for several days since that thread. That's not normal. It's quite clear I made a mistake disagreeing so strongly with his opinions because I fear that pride has now been irreparably damaged. We live and learn.
