I'd just love to drop this subject and get on to talking about the Edge instead of petty infighting, but...I'm still wondering where exactly these insults to Boris occured. "The" thread didn't contain any; the closest was a commenter asking "is Boris one of them?"

I'm no psychologist, but I'd think an adult who leaves a forum and deletes all his/her posts in response to that small level of accusation must have some serious ego issues. Others here have endured far greater abuse and are still around. Why didn't Boris just say "no, I am not" or even better, just ignore it? We may never know.
