Okay, so while I was toasting the New Year, this thread has gone has gone a little berserk. Thanks for all your comments, one way or the other, but I’m drawing a line in the sand here. Mairghread and I have spoken and ironed out the bumps. Let there be an end to this. And like I said before, I won’t tolerate outright rudeness. Dave Grew – please respect my wishes and do not post insults. That won’t be tolerated.

I asked for no more comments here. PLEASE RESPECT MY WISHES.
And one that he seems to have deleted:

The matter is closed. No apologies or resolution are forthcoming. No further discussion will be tolerated. THIS I COMMAND!
*sigh* Simon... you can request people to stop discussing this, but you cannot
force them to. Especially when YOU raised it in the first place.
Of all of this, all he really had to say was this part of your first post:
Mairghread and I have spoken and ironed out the bumps.
That's it. Short, clear, and to the point.
If he wanted to say more on the matter, an actual apology for being so bitter over nothing and using
someone else's words over his own would be a start.
Or hey, he could have been civil an spoken to Scott about this in the first place instead of making a petty commotion over it in public.
And... does he not know how to close blog comments on his own site?
At least that nonsense is over.
