Seriously, Spuds - is it your Asperger's? Someone wrote me and said that they thought it might explain your behavior. If so, then perhaps I and others should be a bit abashed and even apologize to some extent. You really may not be able to help yourself from your repeated behavior pattern. I really was not that familiar with Asperger's until I just now looked it up. The first sentence kind of leaped out at me:
Asperger syndrome or Asperger's syndrome ( /æspər ərz/) is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

When Spuds took offense, DQ posted this reply which explained why he made the post and he apologized too:

. . . I am sorry you chose to take my message as an attack. It was not intended to be either an attack or a continuation of debating the issue, but rather a correction of your wrong assumption about me having any kind of relationship with the moderator and pointing out that I believe you have made other similar wrong assumptions.
As regards Asperger's, perhaps that was wrong of me, and if you think it was a low blow then I apologize. It wasn't like I was posting a secret, since you had posted that you had it in a public forum. At any rate, I thought about it a long time before posting it. I certainly did not intend it as a low blow or an attack. The reason I did so was that once I looked up the definition I sincerely thought that perhaps that might be the explanation for why you cannot seem to stop and let an issue go to rest without having the last word. If such is the case, as I said earlier, then perhaps I and others should have a bit more understanding and perhaps even apologize in part.
Now, regardless of what you post I will respond no more. If having the last word and post is something you feel you must do, then by all means do so.
Farewell and adieu and best wishes for good health, happy holidays and a joyful new year.
Luella May, DQ's partner, confirmed what he said in this post:

True to his word, DQ did not respond further to Spuds posts and, as far as I can tell, from that point on has not gotten into any long discussions/disagreements with her in any threads.
Looking back, perhaps that was not DQ's most shining moment, but to term it "the lowest attack you had ever seen on CZ" surely stretches credulity, which in your case is already hair-thin at best.
How does it compare, for example, with your attacks, name calling and other slurs highlighted in this message:

Anyone who cares to get a better perspective of who has attacked whom and see how your behavior has compared to DQ's can take a look at this thread you started with the following complaint:
http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1701787#i
which included DQ's rebuttal:

and a host of replies by many people, including several of CureZone's most respected members.
The contrast between what DQ has posted, in the above threads and elsewhere, and what you posted is stark as is the way you turned every post that didn't agree with you into a reason to attack those posters as well.
That is what it mostly boils down to, isn't it: Your complaint did not hold water and was overwhelmingly rejected and you cannot get over it. That and your twisted portrayal of the post DQ hid which you claim did not contain any TOS violations. What really happened there was that you were first warned by DQ to not try to continue any further debate on a support forum and to not take any more shots at anyone and then you promptly came back with a post which did try to continue the debate and took a shot at DQ. Of course your message was hidden!
Your behavior and DQ's (Tony's) are as different as night and day and anyone who has an open mind can clearly see it.
The main thing that needs to change for the better here is for you to learn how to handle disagreement without slurs and attacks, stop all your misbehavior, go back to helping others instead of disrupting this website and stop your complaints about the site, the moderators and even the Webmaster himself. Or else leave as you promised to do and go find someplace that will put up with your behavior.
