Well said David.
My answer would be, that is what friends are for. Ron is also a stand up guy. He can be a touch loud and crazy but we can't all be the same. That would lead to a very boring existence.
It is nothing against you. I do not take what you are saying as personal. I know there are differences of opinion and each is entitled to his own. I understand that the post he made upset a few people. But the person who was directly affected by it, let it go. I just don't understand why you can't. If there is another reason, then I would like to hear it. I like to take both sides of the story and make a decision. If he did something to you, then I will weigh that out. But, until then, I will defend him.
The point I am trying to make is to let bygones be bygones and to get on with our lives. This is supposed to be a fun forum where we can say things and be forgiven. There are many people who have said things that they regretted saying--that is why people have asked for an edit feature. We are all human and make decisions that aren't always popular. Life is far too short to hold grudges for things that in the end don't matter. I read the post today from R6Rider who recently lost his father. That is the true meaning of life and of the B/SOTL on this forum. The people of this forum coming together for one of our own.
Don't let hatred get the better of you. Be the stand up guy you say you are and let it go. Life is far more enjoyable when there is forgiveness around.
