Open message to Chuck and Andy

Well, I respect both you guys, though I'm pretty sure I've disagreed with you both openly as well. You have that in common

Charlie's been on a pretty steady campaign of harassment and bullying of me specifically for almost a year. I had the temerity to tell him that a landscape wasn't very good, I think, so he hates me. The moderators think that simply editing the more vile slanders out of his posts is enough, as far as I can tell. Which they have had to do quite a lot.

I've turned the other cheek more times than I can count, and the apparent result is that chuck thinks it's ok. It was an interesting experiment, but now it's over. Since the prevailing culture of TPF is one of constant bickering and battle, I don't really see how anyone can have any problem with me getting a bit shouty too.

I think you have shown amazing restraint, amolitor, in the face of some pretty substantial "fire" coming from the opposing line.
