I guess that I just interpret Gene's responses...
a little different than you do...in going through, I don't really see where he either "attacked" you or where "he blew his stack", only that he requested that that you not use his name in posts or respond to his posts. I'm sure that there are people in your life that, no matter what they say, it irritates you. That is what I liken this situation to.
I'm sure that you have your supporters and I'm sure that Gene has his. All that I was hoping for in this case was a little courtesy...
