I did not ignore the first mod note. My subsequent post was an attempt to clarify my position while staying within the limits laid out in that mod note. It seems that one or both of us miscommunicated or misunderstood the other.
And frankly I think your tone of derision and sarcasm in this thread is unbecoming to your position as a mod. The friction I caused 15 years ago was 100% down to my tone of sarcasm and derision.
