What?!?
You are one of the most inoffensive people I have ever met!!
Unfortunately the definition of being an internet troll has become somewhat blurred over the last year and it is entirely possible that DDTs arse dropped out of his underpants at the faintest possiblility that the irate poster condeming the thread COULD have decided to take somesort of legal redress.
That could have left him, and others wide open and fucked the whole concept of the forum for ever.
Well thats how I read his letter of apology.
Its a shame really, the forum has, generally, decended into something it never wanted to be ( a pile of old wank) and DDTs post and the whole subject matter pertaining to it was way to complex ( obviously) for people to discuss on here as they once would have.
Well there you are fella, the forum has preferred to throw the baby out and keep the afterbirth and when you log in, you can see tangible evidence of the consequences.
Stop beating yourself up, you have nothing to beat yourself up for!
