Oh wait, I think I get it: I just stopped by the other forum and in looking at recent posts, I see that Nicole suggested to someone complaining about an LEO in New York (no where me, nothing to do with me) might have a name that begins with "B" 'out of the blue'. And then I noticed that Nicole is an AAD in the southeast region of that forum's parent organization, where there is a little clique of folks with some bad blood toward me from a conflict of several years ago. I had not been to that forum in years (three? four?) and stopped in to say 'hello' to some old friends and apparently became a new focus of that clique's focus.
Ah, perfectly clear now.

No problem, the majority of people in that organization are great folks and a few nasty comments only serve to highlight the majority I think.
Funny thing is that my wife showed me a post on Facebook where an officer of that organization is asking what can be done to increase membership at the exact same time the venom is flowing on their forum. All unfortunate really I think.
Anyway, I do not have a dog in any fight on either forum so no matter to me. In fact, I do not actually see a fight. ??
Best thoughts and wishes to all.
