Maybe if they said something that had only ever been said in private, that would be suspect. I believe we’re dealing with someone who’s all too familiar with the forum, and sowing more seeds of discord between the two of you would suit their purposes. Making things worse around here benefits no one, except a troll.
Frink and I don’t ever converse in pm. Though I also did mention somewhere that there was a message in all the postings and you seem to have gotten the same one I did. Sadly though, I predict it will fall on dear ears here, for the most part.
