Why did they allow politics on their list in the first place? ;-}

In this case, Russ would _imply_ and you would _infer_. And no, he
didn't imply any such thing. In general, they are tolerant, except in
the case of whatever you did. Implying that it must have been extreme.

You want antics? This last link is antics. I'm reminded of two little
boys facing each other, both attempting to stretch their tongue muscles
to the absolute limits to spite each other.

Seems I recall an earlier post about this same matter that outlined the
events in greater detail. And the general pattern of conduct I noted
there seems to be repeating here. Must be a coincidence. ;-}
