@Ragman,
I have a tendency to come across as being a bit abrasive when I talk to people - that's an area I need to work on.
I apologize if I came across as being a bit insensitive. I'm not going to go along with or agree with everything people say.
Some people don't like me, and I know there's a few troublemakers here-I'm not going to act unseemly because they are and feed into nonsense.
That is what some people want me to do.
