You've done this more than once. You wasted my time that could have been used for more productive things. So yes, you absolutely did instigate a flame war.

The entire thread upset me.

This board is NOT a place for individuals to air their grievances about people who have wronged them. I never said you lied. I never said you were telling the truth either. I have no idea what transpired, and I'm staying out of it.

You have no way of knowing if the website traffic goes up and down. More posts doesn't necessarily mean more hits.

If I implied this was your doing, then I apologize. It was most definitely not your comments...another person altogether.
This discussion has run its course. I'm tired of talking about it. Not only have you insulted me, you are relentlessly argumentative. You have shown no remorse for the problems you've caused me and the business. So here's how it's going to work from now on.
I will give you one more chance, Mongo. It's funny, when you're not upset about something, you are the consummate gentleman. I think the board benefits greatly from your contributions when you are.
So this is your chance to shine. Be the civilized person you're capable of being, and this will all be water under a bridge. We can forget about everything that was said and move on from here. On the other hand, if you continue this discussion any further or start new threads intended to stir up trouble, I will heed the advice of those who have complained about you. I will delete your posts and/or ban your IP address. The ball is in your court, you decide.
In any case -- Happy 4th of July,
