I didn't do anything 'til middy sucker-punched me.

I had previously always admired middy's brevity and wit, so I had no reason to have anything but positive feelings toward middy. He really DID hurt my feelings by calling me martir's puppy, but I shouldn't come here expecting to never be surprised... well, shocked. If you can believe what middy says, middy either liked or didn't like (go figure) that I respond to martir over on MetaBC or something. I'm not going to research it to see if it's true or not, but I really didn't realize I was responding that much to martir over here on the main board. Maybe middy isn't actually COUNTING my posts to martir, but just doesn't like something else about my "relationship" with martir. What I truly suspect is that middy would like to see martir banned and my interfering with martir's recent meltdown on MetaBC upset middy's plans for the future without martir. But, if I start analyzing the nuts around here as if I understand them, I'll only sound even more like martir. martir explains-away what he sees as a lack of poster participation here to be due to the anti's or something outside of martir. But, more likely, by martir POSTING EVERY THOUGHT POSSIBLE, OTHER FOLKS' FIGURE THEIR POSTS WOULD ONLY BE REPEATING WHAT martir HAS ALREADY SAID!!! martir doth kill thought AND posting. It goes to show that if someone like martir is raising a ruckus, make SURE that you do NOT appear to be martir's friend (or martir's enemy, as is the case with me). People may think of you and martir in the same lame thought and come-up with you and martir being peas in a pod, or in bed together. So, to apply what I learned, I certainly will be ignoring middy/martir as best I can, since if I read them, I might respond to them. I want my nick and their nicks to NEVER be associated in any way, other than perhaps we post to the same board. Besides, martir is a bombastic prick and middy is a back-stabber. littlexs: age 5 yo
