I try not to offend anyone, and if I"m making a joke, I try to make sure that everyone knows I'm doing so. I know there was one poster Last year who got upset with me because I mentioned my computer got zapped by lightning maybe a few times too many. But I think that's as far as I've offended anyone that I'm aware of.

Yes, I remember him. It was when I first came into the forum was just "cruising" around to "check the place out". I remember thinking, "Gee, if this is the kind of forum this place is, I might as well move on!" Turns out it was an isolated incident (and highly uncalled for). As I recall, he then proceeded to make fun of your name and your avatar. I've never forgotten it and it almost made me leave and not come back.

Gee, I forgot about that part. I know the Einstein picture wasn't the best thing out there, and that's why I changed it recently. But it wasn't because of him. I completely forgot about that. And like I told him, my name is my name, and there's not much I can do about it. I could change my handle, but since it's my name, I'll stick to it. The only thing I'd change would be taking that E out. It always stuck me as wrong, as I usually go by Greg Bowman, or if formal, I go by Gregory E. Bowman, but that's part of my email address and that's why I chose that handle.
