LAMS,
I am even newer to the board then Gord(yes, since Gord is a fairly common name, I'm willing to bet it is his) so you may resent me as well but I feel compelled to respond...
1. While no one enjoys rudeness, the man is under attack did you really expect kisses and kindness? You rudely accused him of stealing his name and not being fan of Gordon Lightfoot. There are all levels of fanship. I have loved the music for years but never knew anything about GL, the man, until I found this site and I have never attended a concert. Does this make me not a fan? I don't think so. Anyone who comes to this site is obviously a fan.
2. If membership to this board requires an invitation, then it should not be a public web site (that would be a great loss). Not to mention that spelling, punctuation, and grammar should certainly not be a membership requirement. Not all of us are writers by occupation.
3. I do, however, agree that if someone is not happy with the board they should not spend any time here and while I don't blame Gord for defending himself I agree that he could have made his point just as strongly without the vulgarity.
I've been visiting much longer then I've been posting and this has been such a fun and informative place to be. Can't you two just agree to disagree and start playing nice again?
Janice
PS LAMS, like everyone else I too have missed reading your posts and I'm glad your back.
