11. I am not spewing any venom. I have explained the thread to you.

You can ask trotsky yourself what he meant. I am certain the person he was calling the banned disruptor was mistertrickster (who, after all, had just been banned before trotsky made that post). I, clearly, had not been banned. I'm still here. Trotsky was talking about the thread trotsky was posting in, because that link was acting strangely for other DUers (as darkstar3's remarks show), and so others, like darkstar3 and trotsky, didn't know they were meant to be looking at a different thread. Notice it is preceded by '[link:' and followed by '|', which indicates there was an attempt to use the form with a hypertext link behind text that is different to the URL (which the 'link' button in the D reply form now acheeves).

When Leontius talked about post #32, the only post #32 trotsky knew about was in in the same thread. Leontius was the person who linked me and 'banned disruptor', because Leontius was looking at the other thread, and then read the 'banned disruptor' remark, and said that he/she did not know I had been banned (I, of course, had not). trotsky say post #32 is not from me - because trotsky is still looking at the thread he is posting in.

I am not 'blaming you'; I am pointing out that, since you didn't read reply #164, you didn't see that trotsky had made clear he was not referring to me.
