Don't feel too bad about it. About 40 years ago I once fed a family of raccoons in the back yard. Eventually they tore up everything and became a real nuisance. Had to stop feeding them, and eventually turn a water hose on them for a while to get them to go away. Raccoons like dry dog food in case anyone wants to experiment. They are smart though, and know what they want.

I feel I should apologise for recent comments of mine that I directed towards members of The Peak - apparently an ongoing conversation about our journey as human beings, towards the pinnacle of existence. As you know I usually try to keep a reasonable and cool head when dealing with others as I firmly believe we all deserve a fair hearing for our views, whatever they may be. In fact, I consider the best way to deal with people whose sole aim appears to be causing trouble is to reason with them and explain your POV and why they would gain more credibility if they engaged with their own POV rather than just by trolling and trying to goad people into endless arguments. The pen is mightier than the sword. Well, needless to say I failed and told them to fuck off. Big mistake, and a mistake made out of total frustration with these righteous types who claim to have left our fine company to start a new site without any "negativity". I'm sure any serious contributors to this place will understand how irritating it is to have to scroll past endless drivel by these people who consider they are too good for us but can't leave us alone because they aren't allowed to cause trouble on their own enlightened site. I honestly thought we were all going to be happy in the new year with our own chosen company. Turns out I was wrong... So I apologise for all the crap posts you are going to have to endure until these people get bored with trying to goad me into a fight - just like they always do, I guess some people just need to boost their ego at the expense of others. And now we all know WillyTex has been booted off for being an asshole, I suspect some of them will be trying to fill his mighty shoes with their own brand of horse shit. Go figure. So one last time dear FFLers, I'm sorry I fed the trolls. But you know it was out of pure anger that they came back here and started digging up shit that was patiently explained to them ages ago and that any actually intelligent, reasoning human being wouldn't even have noticed in the first place. I should know better and I promise to ignore them in future.
