Hardly an accusation; more of a speculation.mcewanw wrote:The accusation against SilverPuppy is keeping us in suspense. If the accuser can't bring himself to name the accused, I hope SilverPuppy will confirm or deny his guilt since hearsay/accusation is not a healthy attitude in argument and debate.WhoDo wrote: I've seen that expression used before - "4.2 is a Puplet" - and I think it came from a well-known member of this forum. That leads me to think that SilverPuppy may be an alias, and the very recent registration would seem to confirm that.
I believe it was Dougal who used the subject expression in an earlier thread on Puppy 4.2 and "bling". Dougal has been notably absent from the forum for some time of late. Even his updated network wizards posted in April of this year have "disappeared" from the subject post. Again, that is pure speculation and there may be a perfectly good reason for that. Or Dougal may have felt his contribution was not being properly valued so he removed it. If that were true it would be a very sad situation indeed.
Even if SilverPuppy is Dougal by another name, it doesn't alter his right to an opinion ... even a dissenting opinion. I support that wholeheartedly. I also reserve the right to rebut speculation with fact where that is possible. If we are talking about my motives, and it seems we may well have been at the time, I reserve the right to clarify what my motives truly were regardless of how they may have appeared to some. Fair enough?
