Funny how what you think you are writing is read by someone in a
completely different way. I have to wonder whether I am able to write
a competent sentence or paragraph at all? 

My point of posting was my take on what was not being said.
When someone is attacked, and attacked with the "we", even if the
person attacking, acts alone, if the crowd stands by silently, it comes
across as "we".  

Whether you read an implied "we" in Zot's post or not, is also, I
suppose, how one reads what is written. I suppose it is because I
personally have given up reading Micheal's posts, assumed most
others here have as well, that caused me to believe that there were
indeed "many" that would would cut him out of the pack and drag him
down. I don't mean this laterally. I mean make the situation so bad that
the person wants to get out themselves. It is the same thing as having
the admin remove the account. 

I have no issues with Zot, no issues with Michael,  I believe, Zot does,
by the way, have root on PLUG. 

Thank you
Russell
