The same thing happened with my last article, as you can see. In fact, if you do a search, you'll find FD has the final post on many of my topics, going back years. He's ruined countless things I've posted.

The one he posted yesterday has been greeted with crickets. Other than correcting glaring errors, I just didn't care about it. Apparently no one else did, either.

It's not about forgiveness anymore than I would feel the need to forgive ants for ruining my picnic. For some reason he's drawn to what I do and feels a compulsion to ruin it.

It can be grating. But then I feel sad in a way that no one cared about his post.
