Originally posted by Tom Ellison I have nothing to offer this forum anymore. This will be my last post on USMS….I wish all of you the best life and swimming has to offer. Take care… Kindest regards, Tom Ellison What!?!?!?... that's just silly now! Where's mr. Moose! He'll sort this out. I've always enjoyed your posts, swimming input and great sense of humor! what on earth are you talking about? don't gooooooo! J.

Originally posted by tjburk Lefty...don't know you from Adam...so for you to speak for me is wrong! You don't know my motives for getting into that at all! If you ever want to sit down...I'll buy the beer. Then, if you still have the same opinion of me...you can write what you want. No questions asked! TJ: I was responding to your post where you specifically asked for opinions! Look up and see for yourself! No judgements here, I am sure you are a fine person.

Originally posted by lefty Now none of this is meant to dissolve Ion of blame because in most respects he desrves more contempt than Tom, but let's not pretend that Tom and TJ or whoever else got involved in that ugliness was doing so to defend the honour of USMS or Eddie Reese, or whatever hackneed reason you can come up with! Lefty...no problem....the reason I said anything was in this quote you say the reason I got involved was for other reasons. What reasons did I get involved then? Like I told Ion in the other forum, and he knows this to be true, I have agreed with him on some issues, and disagreed on others. Personally, I couldn't stand to see someone bashed over a decision that was made and in hindsight was the wrong choice, by a person who claims to have facts that weren't available then. Hope that last sentence makes sense. Still buy you a beer if we ever meet.:D

This thread has degraded in the past couple of days. I see no value in allowing it to continue. I have deleted the last four posts and closed the thread.
