For the record, so Xeno doesn't get confused, I wasn't at all concerned about the "backdraft" part of his remark. You were explicit right at the start about why you turned up here. There was some dark speculation among those who had taken a dislike to Robin that you had joined us to defend him at his request (and even that you were he in disguise!), but as far as I can recall Xeno never participated in that. I've already explained to Xeno why I found the rest of his remark about you offensive, so I won't go into it again. You and I have different perspectives on Xeno, and that's fine. <snip> > Robin started to post again and the inevitable negativity and > questions and digs started up again with regard to him and his > past history Just to remind folks, Robin started to post again *because* certain people had decided to start attacking him in his absence, and he felt he needed to correct the intentionally misleading context in which they had done so. He got a warm welcome-back from quite a few others and ended up sticking around. As before, his positive contributions to the forum have been significant. The few people who find him threatening, and who compulsively attack not only him but anyone who enjoys his presence here, have made themselves look small and mean, IMHO.
