Thanks, Nacho and others.
I'm sorry it happened and quit in order to bring a resolution to the problem rather than exacerbate it. I really, really, honest-to-(whatever deities a person chooses) was not trying to be critical of how anyone runs a message board but simply to decline to participate in it, myself.
Once again, I'll make the offer I do everywhere I post. If the board's owner doesn't want me posting, all he has to do is ask and I'll quit.
