Well... here is another way to look at it (and I am still disappointed at his absence here)...  if he came to this board, all the bashers would says he went where it was safe, and they threw him softballs.  By going to LieHub (basher central) he showed he wasn't hiding from the hard questions.  Despite my disappointment about his absence here... I think he made the right move going there to stand his ground and support his actions.  Maybe he will drop by here today to explain in his own words why he chose to answer questions over there and not make an appearance here... where he has been supported for quite a while.
