If either you or Terry wishes to bash me or PREN feel free to start another thread, but all have been warned that we will stay on topic.

I have no interest in bashing you, Mack. I dont' believe I have done that. If you believe I have, point it out, I will review it, and if I have "bashed" you, I will acknowledge it.
Above, you say I am diverting the other thread. I'm responding to your comment.
The main reason things seem to go off-topic in that thread, in my opinion, is because a certain few of you guys take personal snipes at me rather than remain on topic. Snide comments. Sarcasm. Unless I agree with you, you attack me personally. In response, I have only defended myself, not responded in kind with snipes or snide comments about you or your members.
Trust me, I have no interest in diverting a thread by pointing it directly at myself -- and I really wish it were not part of the discussion. However, as long as that tactic is used against me, I'll keep responding. I won't call you names, I won't engage in what you are doing, but I will point it out when you say something about me that is not true.
I don't know if you ever transferred to a new school in the middle of a school year. Well, there are always some kids that think they are tough and want to pick on the new guy. It's not really about winning or losing for either side, but its about standing up for yourself. I will never ever just let it go and not stand up for myself. I learned that lesson growing up all over the United States and Europe. I don't give. We can both walk away with respect, but until it stops -- every snide sarcastic comeback directed against me will be responded to.
If you want to talk about Morgan and the Real Estate Webmasters company, go ahead. As soon as Morgan admitted one of his employees was guilty, I was done. If you think Morgan did it himself (and not an employee) go ahead and comment about that, too -- with no responses from me. I'm done discussing that topic.
If you talk about the members of the REW forum, that's a different topic. I'm not involved with the REW company, but I am involved with the forum -- as a member. I am a member of many forums. I would like to be a welcome member of this forum, too -- but the unwarranted attacks are getting old.
As far as the above post with John Roberts goes, you're right. That was off topic. The reason I looked up "John Roberts" with the Washington State Department of Licensing is because I didn't believe he was for real. I thought it was another anonymous poster and you know my feelings about anonymous posters in forums -- no matter what side they are on. I didn't believe his post about the anchor text so I checked it out. He was right, I was amazed, and I made a comment. That was off topic and I apologize if you think I was doing that intentionally. I was not. The subject is dropped.
