1) From the day Lingo first arrived, he openly stated that his objective over here was to be a thorn in our side and was most definitely "not here to make friends". He recently (last week) re-posted his "mission statement" in case we forgot or were confused. I tried to find a link to his post, but it must have gotten lost in the transition. When someone comes here and openly and consistently stirs things up, he should expect some flak in return.
2) Most of what I have directed to Lingo has been with tongue firmly in cheek. And given Lingo's resiliency, I am pretty sure he has had some fun with it as well.
3) The only time I called Lingo an a-hole and really meant it was in response to the "whore" incident. Lingo has since apologized and I think we should all accept his apology and move on.
4) As soon as Lingo begins to consistently make sincere and friendly posts here (which he is capable of and has done several times), then I think most folks will respond in kind. But as long as his stated mission is to be a thorn in our sides, I reserve the right to tease him back. I will try to be careful with how far I take it. Let me know if you think I have gone too far. Until then, lighten up Francis.

Having read and pondered, I don't know that my opinion changes any. It is not very becoming of us to wait for kindness to be shown to us before we are willing to do the same. Even UTES can do that.
As I said, I don't condone things that have been said on either side of the picket line, but neither do I find any reason to keep the feud running.
