I didn't specifically mean that TMIL and Susan were responsible, just circumstances surrounding those events. That said, I take full responsibility and apologize for anything I would have said at the time. I don't remember any of it, except that my emotions were hugely high on the whole TMIL/Susan issue and I paid for it. Twice, actually. I was suspended from the forum and I've never wanted to make any trouble since. I've also been through a heck of a lot where I just won't ever hope, or want, to shove one of my opinions down other people's throats. And if I have, I'm personally sorry. The Susan/TMIL thing was complete madness, and it's all ancient history *with me*, but I think the negativity was only born from the negativity surrounding TMIL and DOTV etc. Terrible, terrible politics were going down with TMIL and DOTV and I felt that the arguments here were only of a product of that. A product, not an excuse. I make it my mission, now & in the last months, just to discuss whatever interests me. I don't want to get into a personal debate with anyone, although I love arguing about the things I'm passionate about. I think Jacqueline's done a tremendous wealth for Jim, but I also think Smeghead, Pudding, David and many many others have as well. > > > > > I don't want to complain, but this forum has really turned > > around since TMIL and the Susan stuff.
