N.B. Most will know that in no respect am I childish. I am 79 years old.

Trevor,
I appreciate the apology.
In addressing your later comment I can say only this: Yes, I am aware that you are 79. But age doesn't preclude you, me, or anyone else from losing sight of better judgment and acting childish on occasion.
The point of the above quoted statement may have been taken as a direct stab at you, but it more so a reminder to the general public that we are watching, and will be doing our best to more evenly enforce the rules here when it comes to situations that may arise in the hopes of keeping civil tones and valid commentary. We hope to never have to ban someone permanently, as done in the past, and this more hands on approach is in hopes of preventing such actions in the future.
I and the rest of the Admin/Mod Team are always open to suggestions and or criticism. In fact, we welcome it as it helps us keep balance.
