Thanks Mike and others for the welcome. I left briefly but was soon convinced that one unpleasant distraction shouldn't ruin what a great reefing community this is for all of us who gather here. I am still the same pook that you all have come to know. Hopefully I can live up to and maintain the same standards that everyone expects of each other here. I don't expect everything to be perfect all the time b/c none of us are perfect. Our jobs here isn't to "censor" by any means, which I am sure some are already convinced this is what it's all about. I personally love to discuss and debate on topics that interest me in a civilized manner. What I won't tolerate is personal attacks, name calling, and such towards fellow human beings and reefers.
Respect is a two way street. I respect everyone as an individual from the get go until that person shows disrespect towards others and/or myself. Once you've lost my respect, regaining it is a tough road.
Now let's have some fun and show some civility.
