That I tried to give people a choice as to whether I continued here or not, but my efforts to do so were thwarted.

There is no reason for you to leave. This is a forum. Issues get debated. Sometimes they get heated. Everyone here has freedom....freedom to post what they want, debate as they want, and share the opinions that they want (within the TOS). If someone cannot handle heated debates or if they get to a point that they are so angry that they don't want to deal with it anymore, they have the freedom and the ability to ignore the situation and step away from that post, the forum, or their computer altogether. It's quite simple.

Keeping in mind though that there is quite a difference between heated debates on a topic and antagonistic personal insults.... Just thought I'd throw that in... As for whether he stays or goes... as you say.. people are free to do as they choose.. he can expect to be throwing his insults at the air though as I am done responding to them while I try to seriously discuss a topic. That's my friend is my two cents on the subject... and my final comment. So stay or go @tobytyler ... it's your choice, as I really don't care.

From the above post it appears that you are the one that can't let it go. I mean seriously, how many times does this make it that you have told me you are done talking to me? I've lost count. Will this be the last time? I sure hope so.

Everyone here has freedom....freedom to post what they want, debate as they want, Like Hell they do. Two of my threads have just been arbitrarily closed for no reason other than for a forum administrator to have a power/ego trip.

No...I, like others are getting tired of the tit for tat assassinations, continually, between two mature adults.
Going after the contents of a debate and not the poster, should be the objective. Please keep that in mind. And, if it doesn't work, report the post, if it's directed towards you.
BTW...your two poll threads were just merged together.

I enjoy @tobytyler being here, and I hope he decides to stay. I feel the same about QuickSilver. Nobody here, admins or members, should be expected to choose between one member and another. So far as I am personally concerned, they are both welcome and appreciated. The animosity between them isn't all that pleasant, though...just my humble opinion!
PEACE!

PEACE! I agree.. and I don't want to put the admins or members in that position.. but he comes back.. I leave.. Unless he is controlled. That is MY decision... Why would I spend time somewhere when I'm made to feel like I have to constantly defend myself..?? If he can learn to behave like a normal person.. I would be happy to debate him on ISSUES... I will not continue with the pissing contest personal attacks he desires. It's not a pleasant experience for me.

With all due respect....how would you propose we "control" him on an open and free forum such as ours? We have our TOS as a guideline and it has served us well to this point in time and hopefully will well into the future. We are a self-governing community here and rely on our wonderful members to act and post like the adults that they are.

But if he returns and continues with his attacks against me.. I'm leaving.. As an adult.. I know what I choose to submit myself to.. and what I don't.. So you figure it out..

absolutely.... no one say you can't decide.... only I present for food for thought.....sometime we let others ruin "our days" and that not necessary.... In Buddhist belief.....Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die..... don't allow others to allow yourself to be upset.... This is very true.. WE can decide to let others "ruin our days" or not.. Posting here with TT behaving like the A$$hat he has.. is not a way I choose to let ruin my day. If he comes back and does not straighten out.. I will no longer be here.. therefore.. not drinking his poison.. You all can do that if you wish. do not allow anger to rule thinking.... take deep breath and then move forward.... never allow someone to make you do something you not wish.... as I say.... I would miss you...
