Good news is that, like being on Sheldon Cooper's enemies list, it doesn't take a lot of your time.
Parallax has apparently sided with the troublemakers, instead of someone who provides content and traffic. If they make me suffer, there is no reason they should continue to receive the benefits of my laborous efforts.
thanks. Helped at least me.
Enjoy!

This is my last post.
maybe you should calm down a bit before drastic decisions.

'apparently' ? - based on whose perception ?
All I could find was a little eye-rolling and tut-tutting, at a thread that had got the wobbles....
@Idbruce, take a little time off, rest and let a little time give you good perspective on the situtation. Nothing done rashly in haste is usually a good decision.
It's solid advice for all, not just pointed at you. I done this myself at times.

Sad to hear this idbruce - any chance of talking it through?
This isn't a good way for Bruce or anybody else to spend their time. The most productive path forward is to stop the public threats and simply allow some time to pass. I've made the mistake of acting too fast in the past and learned a valuable lesson more than once. Forum members shouldn't bait the situation any further, too. This isn't good for Bruce and it furthers discussion that's just not relevant to what we all do.
Bruce, let's talk tomorrow after the situation has cooled down. I'd be happy to give you a ring to discuss if you tell me where to call. My personal e-mail is kgracey@parallax.com and my direct phone number is (916) 625-3010. If I'm not in the office it rings directly through to my cell phone.
I'll lock this thread after I made this post. If there's more of this stuff we will need to freeze some accounts. I don't even know if I have access to do that, and I'm not about to bother Bump or Jim this evening so give it a break.
Let's spend our time on our hobbies, our professions, and projects!
