I hope he is alright. He usually posts daily but I haven't seen any posts for quite a while.
I'm asking in "Smooth As Silk" because he is a regular here.

He has been temporarily banned for being a curmudgeon.

Dang! We need more curmudgeons in here, not less! That way I won't stand out so much.

But such a knowledgeable and helpful curmudgeon.
Glad he is OK. -Mary Mowder |

Bill gives more good advice than nearly anyone else on these fora. yes, he is opinionated and testy at times. ... But no more than many knowledgeable people Who have paid their dues. In fact, he reminds me of Charlie Miller in that respect: he too could 'go off' on people sometimes! Bill l is sorely missed!

I didn't mean that in a negative way.

I have (since becoming a "customer" in the Café)enjoyed reading Bill's comments. At times, he is a bit "crotchety" but, so am I, now and then! (Maybe I've been "around" too long!)
I don't always fully agree with his philosophical thoughts,but, IMHO, he is entitled to express them. --As long as they are not intrincically evil! I would say to those who may be adamantly opposed to his "editorial expressions": "You can always skip past them! You are not REQUIRED to read his posts."

YEA but …
In order to maintain a fun forum you want to discourage flaming and OVER crotchetiness. Otherwise it is a chore to wade though and discount all the unneeded unpleasantness. I know it's a call but this kind of thing does KILL fora. I'm happy to have this resource and will back the Café's call (I have no info on the actual problem in this case). I look forward to Bill's return. -Mary Mowder |

I enjoy Bill's comments. Wealth of knowledge. He always reminded me of one of the old guys in the balcony of the Muppets TV shows. Of course, I've never been the target of one of his retorts. Perhaps I would feel a little more strongly if I had.

He's was banned for threatening me. Said he was going to give me a visit, told me keep looking over my shoulder. This is the thread that drove him over the edge.

I'm very sorry to hear that.
Please refer to my second sentence above.
