Here's a different take Frank

Why did he pick petem? He's not really said a lot against RLB

Why not Doug?
Alarman?
Me?

No he picks an occasional poster, a minor character, out of the blue,
in a new thread, in a very visible new thread. petem isn't falling for
it

If Robert REALLY wants to make peace then he can go away.
