jeepeer creepers, are you now saying that if it is a question on a contribution of Skips it is not allowed to be asked?

I had a question CAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO VOTE. I asked to community what they thought and voted accordingly. I admit I have had questions about Skips contributions that I have brought to the forums before. The majority of the time my opinion was in line with the community. Somehow that makes me the bad guy. And because he is once again proven wrong that too is my fault?!? Un happy funtimeing believable

To my good friend (and you know who you are) I hope we do not loose contact but other than you and a few others here who's company I usually enjoy there is not other reason to visit. And the grief I get for being here simply isn't worth it.

I swear if there were a way to close my account for good I would do it right now.

While I agree with Kathy, Rick, I can't say that based on your behavior and your original post that your motive was all that innocent, I would like to be able to. Part of this also relates to your wasting an hour of my time today because you were unclear in your communication, and as I said I don't like having my time wasted. Let's face facts Rick, your comment which vaguely referred to something about formatting did not tell me what you were looking at or why. I know that space is limited, but Iwould say that your first source should have been via PM, I won't tell you how I would have responded to a PM on at least one of the two titles that you used this vague complaint, but it would have been far more positive than (1) wasting my time (2) may not have been necessary to play this silly game. I have requested before and I was serious about it, Rick, if you are unwilling to communicate more clearly, then please do me and everyone else a favor and don't vote, please don't waste my time trying to figure out what you are talking. I think this a perfectly reasonable request. All you keep proving to me is that your grudge is far more important to you than anything else. Other users PM me me about specific issues all the time and they generally get fixed, and you know that. What I don't think is appropriate use of the Forums is to bring something that could have been handled in other ways and should have been FIRST, but that is your call. Just remember that clear communication is important and THAT you did not even attempt to do, we all work for free around here, if you had communicated in a clear fashion Rick both issues probably, one of them certainly, could have been fixed very quickly, instead of me wasting an hour of my time to figure what in God's name you were talking about. Please don't waste my time, Rick, I will not do it to you or anyone else.

I stayed out of it because I considered it a an utterly useless manipulation, but the I saw people start making comments like "We can probably guess who this is", so it wasn't quite a blind as you thought.

I think you are mixing up threads as that didn't happen in this one.  It happened in the Photoshopping Covers thread, but not this one.

I have nothing against any user, despite what you might think, as I have said before I have neither the time, the enrgy or the desire to carry one. I feel sorry for those users that just feel they have to follow someone around and snipe at them, they must be very miserable people to carry around suh hatred for so long, and it is hatred. The only thing that I can feel, for any of these people is pitty for what must be truly a miserable existence and the instant of anger I feel when the assault me or someone else, fortunately for me I can let that go very quickly, so hatred will never be able to concume me the way I see it doing in some. You have my pity, but I willnot excuse the behavior.

I don't know whether you do or not...which is why I said "Possibly." 

Guaranteed, amigo, guaranteed.

Heck last night at one point I took a user to the woodshed and five minutes later in another thread I told him he had made a good catch...same user. This kind of thing happens quite frequently, and I rather enjoy it personally, but I don't know how many catch it.

And if you're trying to deny your personal vendetta on Skip: Just check your postings on this forum, you'll have to go a long way back to find something that's not a direct (or barely hidden) attack on Skip (or one of his assumed supporters), I think I found something on page three.

Not exactly. On each of those 3 pages, you'll find Rick welcoming and helping new users to the forum. That's always been one of Rick's contributions to the forum. Rick, you will be missed. Certainly though, I understand. I'm struggling myself.
