Brian,
I was going write this off list because that is where it belongs, but I'm not ashamed of what I wrote onlist so I'll respond onlist. If it gets me booted for being off topic I'll understand.
If I am a fan club of anonymous builder, it's a fan club of one. No one that I know of acted in concert against you, and I don't think your evil.
You and I have been friendly and I appreciate it. I hope we can continue as so. I have admired what you do with your hands. I have used some of the painting tricks you have shared.
I don't think poorly of you for having an opinion. I listen to them because of the experience you bring.
I made that post because I disagreed with your opinion of the builder in question. I thought it was very inaccurate and would live for ever on this electronic forum. There should be room for a difference of opinion on this board as long as it is on topic. I have voiced my opinion and I hope you see that it didn't contain dirty laundry.

Jon,
Nice little dogpile you guys formed up. Are you guys nervous about
something? Since the fan clubs are forming up against the evil one,
maybe you all could clue in the rest of us as to what is making you
guys jump to conclusions.
Shall we discuss the politics of what has been going on for some time
now? It's beginning to be pretty obvious that it's everyone else
against me. That means I'm the one that is different from all of the
rest of the guys in "the club". I'm down with that. Maybe we should
all discuss this openly instead of you guys jumping all over me
without you even knowing what's going on; not with me as a
framebuilder and most especially you don't know me as a person. I've
tried to get friendly with everyone, but no one is open. Who resents
what?
