unlike yourself (who understandably doesn't have any liking for it)

My. How presumptuous.

I think it is polite to address side comments directly to individuals in a thread only to a point.

I happen to agree, but our little troll here needs to be reminded that time has indeed passed and, unlike him,  people have indeed changed. And perhaps he needs to be reminded of that in a public way so he's not inflicting it on everyone else... as he did with Anton in another thread with innuendo about Apollo that was written strictly to make Anton look bad.

If Tom wishes to continue acting like a troll -- to anyone -- I have no problem whatsoever calling him on it. Frankly, the little twit seems to want to pick up with the same tedious and childish arguments from, now, two years ago, and it's silly and unnecessary. But I see no reason whatsoever to have myself slammed by someone as apparently clueless (not to mention homophobic) as he has clearly proven himself to be.

Bottom line: some of us have moved on. Pity that cant be said for him... and I say that as directly as need be.
