Well, given David's history or more specifically the history of people berating him, it doesn't look like he'd be coming to his senses any time soon, if ever. He seems to be thriving on conflict and attention, suggesting that people's efforts to disabuse him of his delusion of persecution are having quite the opposite effect. The fact that the mods, on the face of it, do not appear to be holding him in breach of FUA, also hints that the tactic is not working.

Of course. By no means am I suggesting that you should stop responding to him or take heed of any of my notions (some of which can be quite idiosyncratic indeed).

Oh, the reason is simple - curiosity. I am a black sheep here. I don't know anyone and am not in on all the in-house jokes and politics. To me even if things do appear black and white the question of 'why' persists - so I dig. It's the sort of conversation that most would have in private, however, I don't like talking about people behind their backs and am not too keen on PMs. So, I apologise if this seemed a bit inquisitorial and out of place. I hope you don't take offence to my posing those questions. I certainly didn't mean to single you out. Anyway, I realise that my butting in is not going to solve this ancient conflict so I shall bow out and leave you guys in peace.
