Neal-I think you just sent this issue on a turn for the worst. I don't know Rene or Bob, or what happened at the convention for sure(although ignorance of facts has never stopped me from expressing an opinion!), but the whole issue seems like a lot of pole vaulting of mouse droppings. The part I'm concerned about though, is the way you and others ridicule Rene's language skills and imply that it is somehow proof of his guilt. I speak German as my second language, and know how difficult the translation can be. (There's a saying: if you speak 3 languages, you're called trilingual, 2 you're bilingual, and 1 you're American). The other inconsistency is you chiding Rene for using the board, when you acknowledged Bob "body slammed" him on a post. And finally, by telling him to admit his guilt and move on, it seemed like you threw the first rock and then said you hoped it didn't turn into a public stoning. As I stated at the start, I have no idea who is right or wrong on this case. I just think if we are going to have a public show trial, then both sides should be addressed. This is a great board and fun forum, and I really think the hobby must be doing pretty damn well considering the minutiae that gets everybody worked up here. Oh, the Angst! Mike
