The bastard's name is "Otto." We all know that also.

I wasn't baiting.  Alan had made that issue off topic and I was asking for
a moderator ruling.  I guess the rule is that otto is special.

Actually otto hasn't "turned the tables."  Unless you call violating the
rules "turning the table."  I figured that *IF* you are a man of your word
or have any substance you'd have delt with otto.  I see that you are
willing to let violations pass so otto can now deal with having his fucking
buttom pushed.

It's not "tender."  It is a part of my history, a fact.  My complaint is
that you make rules then start making exceptions.  For otto.

I will.  When I have a problem with moderation I prefer to be open about
it. I believe that *I* am not the only one that observes the
privileges and protections given otto and how he abuses them.  

We all know one thing about the bastard.  otto is ALONE.
