   >>>>>   
   >>>>> If you seriously think that he left the group because I wrote a limerick   
   >>>>> about him, then I guess you think I "drove Robert off the group." But I   
   >>>>> doubt that even you think he's that much of a snowflake that he'd run   
   >>>>> away to facebook just because someone wrote a limerick about him.   
   >>>>   
   >>>> This particular limerick?  No.   
   >>>   
   >>>> What soured him on the group were your disgusting comments regarding his   
   >>>> undergoing a bone marrow transplant.   
   >>>   
   >>> So he "soured" on the group - Well, boo-hoo. That's no reason for you to   
   >>> pretend that he was driven off.

   >> When the actions of a group of people (in this case, Will Donkey,   
   >> "Jordy," Stinky George, and yourself) cause someone to "sour" on the   
   >> group (especially by opening attack threads about them), they have   
   >> effectively driven them away.   
   >   
   > No, that's not true at all. If someone sours on the group, they usually

   >> I'm sure you pretend that you and Donkey (socks inclusive) didn't drive   
   >> me away, but that's exactly what you did.

   > Of course we didn't drive you away. You stopped posting here because you

   >>>>> Now it's my turn to ask a question: WHY are you flaming a poem I wrote   
   >>>>> and posted two years ago? How do you think your actions here are any   
   >>>>> different from mine in the thread where you were doing your "Jerk Store"   
   >>>>> laming?   
   >>>>   
   >>>> Why don't you ask your Donkey?  He's the one who necroposted it.   
   >>>   
   >>> He "necroposted" the thread you were flaming me about for replying too,   
   >>> Michael Monkey Peabrain. Once again: why did you decide to do the same   
   >>> thing you were previously complaining about my doing?   
   >>   
   >> I haven't flamed your poem, George.  I haven't discussed it at all --   
   >> apart from pointing out that it was one of the many things you did here   
   >> to drive Robert away.
