Ben, your first post as a mod is typical

my post was based on deductive reasoning (I know, quite foreign to you)
and it was indeed based on 'facts'
please do re-read my previous post
-> you need to get your facts straight

joemac's post was not factual ?
pHaestus' post was not factual ?
bah
Bill, you will always hold a special place in my heart, so I'm not going to moderate anything you say: you do well all on your own. (exception: the name and e-mail, but I'll restore them, as I stated, if the problem still exists)

What we have really here, is one side of the story, taken public by Michael. Is it fact? I don't know.

Did Joe send the blocks? Did Michael receive them? Did they get lost? I don't know.

Did Michael e-mail LR, like he said he did, or is Joe right when he claims to not have received anything? I dunno.

I'll agree that the timing of the resolution stinks, but on a personal note, I've also corresponded with LR for the past few months, and all I can say is that it would be "out of character" for him to do what Michael claims that he did (i.e. being trolled).

We all hate trolls, I think that that's pretty clear. Some of us know what to do when we're being trolled, but it still stands that it has to be proved that "trolling" occured.

You're otherwise correct, in that all comments were based on the facts, as they were presented, but without the whole story, there's a lot of room for speculation, and I just know that it's going to lead to another flame thread, hence my comments, So I'll re-state:

please refrain from speculating as to what happened, and if I see any flaming going on, I'm locking this thread.

In the mean time, I'll extend an invitation to both Michael and Joe to PM or e-mail me with their version of the story. Obviously we have a resolution (at least apparently), but obviously something went bad in the deal, and if both parties want my help in closing this problem once and for all, I'll volunteer my time.
