I for one have always found Carne's posts to be informative,amusing and entertaining. Granted, I can see how some maybe have perceived his debative style to be somewhat abrasive, but to me, in this strange,contorted way have always found it to be part of his dare I say it, charm
He's actually complimented little old me on some of my post's contents, which I thought was actually very sweet of him... Nevertheless, this board is owned by Mary & Fam, and
"controlled" by the moderators. While I may not "agree" with some of their decisions, I'd have to say that I "respect" them. By the same token, if there IS in fact something going on, I think it is fundamentally THEIR concern. Who knows, maybe Carne went on vacation or something? At any rate, I would look forward to seeing possible future posts from him
