Hey Coswil......I just got back from chores and found that another long, long time , respected member of our forum has self destructed. (loved your line about 'leaking brain fluid')..go down laughing eh!
I suspect you've been had. This is a very varied forum.....some will like some posts and some will NOT like some posts. I found this out a while ago by commenting on a growing number of religious posts.....it was like 'poking a badger with a stick'. I had my say and they had their say and everybody moved on. You've been nudged into a corner by a random selection of posters who have issues. If you take their issues personally then your going to get frustrated.
I follow your TA posts and all your posts with eager anticipation....I learn a lot! I laugh a lot! I think a lot!.... all from your posts. You have a growing audience/market for your TA book.
Don't let the horse flies bother you, they're not life threatening.....ignore them or swat them down with a great one liner(see brain fluid above).
Stick around, your detractors flatter you with their attention.
...........cheers...sambone
