just post it hear so we all can read it.
This is what I sent Brian...
"A buddy emailed me a link directing my attention to this LSC thread. I hate to rain on your pity parade, but for the record, I haven’t edited or deleted anything of yours in quite some time. I’ll now be interested to see whether or not you’re as quick to post a public retraction in that thread.
Best Regards,

If you believe he didn’t open them, I have a bridge to sell you… especially since I sent it as an MLS PM - you know, the messaging system which pops up the annoying little message box every time you open a new forum page until you read the message? Brian last logged on to MLS today at 8:25 PM.
Think what you like about me, but I have NEVER publicly trashed ANY of you on ANY forum where I figured you couldn’t or wouldn’t defend yourselves. Such is the path of The Weasel, and there is no honor in it.
I have been accused of “abusive emails” among other things - I prefer to think of them as brutally honest, and ONLY after several rounds of attempted courtesy have completely failed. I have the emails. Like TOC, I keep everything - I simply don’t feel it worth it to publish them. As a rule I try to take the high road and ignore provocation.
I won’t be posting in this thread again. Those who really know me can make up their own minds. Those who have an ax to grind have made up their minds already. This is for those on the fence, and to demonstrate that there may come a day when a flame is posted in expectation of impunity and the truth shall expose the instigator for what they really are.
It’s a shame Bob allows this sort of nonsense. Think what you like about MLS, but we would NEVER allow such public flaming of LSC or it’s members on our site. You call it freedom, I call it libel.
Libel:
1 - anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents.
2 - to misrepresent damagingly
I also call is dishonest, dishonorable, disingenuous, deceitful, and cowardly, (not to mention illegal).
One of the main reasons I don’t post on this forum is I don’t wish to cause Bob more trouble than he already has, nor do I wish to do here what I won’t allow done on the forum I moderate. However, this has been going on for years, and maybe it’s time to say something since no other means exists to correct the record and get the truth out.
Ralph Berg is the only guy in this thread with a reply containing any integrity. Kudos Ralph for having some character. The rest of you simply assume guilt and pile on without any facts whatsoever, and in some cases, based solely upon a personal grudge or a need to be part of a mob.
So pile on “gentlemen” and do what you do so well… lynch based upon supposition. Guess you’re read that email now, eh Brian?
Have fun with your trains folks! God knows the world could do with a bit more fun!

Thank you for posting what you sent. Very kind of you. Now, I can’t and will not speek for anyone but me and seeing you “quoted” me I will say this. You edited my quote. Hummmmmm I guess you just can’t help yourself.
Now, also understand this. I do not and will not go to MLS. Been there and don’t like it. What i love about this site is just what you seem to dislike. The freedom for the people here to speek there minds. Yes we get into from time to time but what family doesn’t.
thats right Family. Everyone here Ithink of as family. I will fight with some, get mad as hell at others and just plain not care what some have to say but I will support there right to say what they think. My liking it or not doesn’t matter. I have yet to find on this site anything that would hold up in court as libel.
So, please feel free to read the post here. Please feel free to add your thoughts and your wisdom and join the Family of LSC. I think you might like the opertuninty to put down your editing pen and just be a train fan like the rest of us. So let me welcome you to LSC and the Family.
Your friend
