Happy birthday Tom. :)

Wish they hadn't forced you off this forum :(

That is quite an unfair assumption, phykell - and inflammatory too. Who is "they" and what makes you think Tom was forced in any way, as opposed to making a personal decision? :confused: FYI he has also not been posting in WTF. No need to start a row.

1. I wasn't talking to you.
2. I gave my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
3. I don't *have* to answer or justify what I said to anyone.
4. I'm not starting a row with anyone, and I won't be drawn into one.
5. Why didn't you just wish him happy birthday and be done with it?
6. Conversely, why didn't I also? ;)

Happy Birthday Tom. Where are you? Did I miss some last post?

We are in Florida last week of December. Can we come for dinner?

phykell,

The reason I replied to this here (as oposed to a PM) is that you made your statement NOT as an "opinion", but as a fact. IMHO that gave a very distinct impression to other readers that it actually happened - and that you were privy to some information that they had either missed or not been party to.

That's how rumors start, and therefore it needed to be clarified. Everyone is responsible for what s/he says says AND implies on a public message board intended to be read by everyone. This is not a private Birthday card, after all.

You BELIEVE this occurred. I do NOT. It is, as a matter of fact, contrary to what he himself said on WTF. You can look it up in the search engine there merely according to his posts.

Honest, not looking for trouble. :no: :smile: Just directness in a sensitive area.

I DON'T know. apple. That's why I asked him. When there is ambiguity, it is, I think respectful to inquire rather than jump to conclusions. Perhaps now YOU would like to share why you asked me your question, and stuck in a rollie-eyes.

May I draw your attention to the first five of my original points especially number two which confirmed, if anyone felt it necessary, that it was indeed my opinion and intended as such. Why wasn't that satisfactory?

I did miss one though. What are you even looking in this thread for?

OK, I'll step in here. I have absolutely no idea who "ousted" Tom.

I've always assumed his wife finally said enough. But that's my assumption.

If you're worried that there's a big conspiracy, and people were out to get Tom, then fight it. The way you fight a conspiracy is to shine a big, bright light on it. Not making ambiguous, innuendo-laden posts then running away.

Nina, I'm curious. Did you stop by this thread to wish Tom a happy birthday just like Amanda didn't? What prompted you to open this thread? Come on, I'm trying out your "light" advice ;)

to the underground posse... the recently surfaced well wishers.. we know you (plural) don't want him here..I know you published his name -


keep him out of the WTF but please leave this place alone.. I don't think anyone hired you or asked for your moderating skills.

if you insist on moderating - that's ok by me.. please don't pretend you are not doing it.. your collective jump onto this thread reveals your faces and your communications.. (which too, are very cool in a way)

Many here would be glad if Tom returned with his incredible humor and wish you all would just quit baiting him. he was brilliant and funny and definitely honest..

I stopped by to see if TomK had responded, since I'd noticed his absence.

Sorry to be so boring.
