Bob Young and I are pretty much diametrically opposed politically and have had some serious "prayer meetings" on different subjects. He is also one of the best, most loyal people I know and I feel priviledged to call him friend.

His participation in the discussions on this board can become passionate, because Bob has a passion for music and for life. He makes no claim at omnipitance and has on several occasions admitted he was wrong. (as has every other male who has been married a while).

I will give Brian the same credit for being passionate about music and particularly this site.

I do detest the "Al de Trolio tactic" of cut-and-pasting selected portions of an opponents argument and then answering them point by point, only on those specific issues which make your argument look good. It is quite unnecessary when the entire thread is still up and visible. This provides an advantage akin to a boxing match where one fighter is drugged.

To use such a tactic and ban the opponent borders on abusive, to my thinking.

Bob will be greatly missed on these boards and I hope Brian reconsiders his hasty and heated decision.
