Edward G. Robinson..."Brother Orchid"
Metz....Welcome Back! Yes there is "Bad Blood" between "Snarfie" and I.
The reason.....back in January 2007, he listed four Board Members as being "Trolls" on a thread he maintained in "General Discussions" called "What A Surprise".
I was one of the one's this little maggot listed. He has been relentlessly provoking me since I had his thread where he spewed his bile "What a Surprise" closed and locked by TCM.
I have complained to TCMWebAdmin at least 16 times about the dirty tactics of this slimeball and they couldn't give a damn and let Snarfie continue his attacks on me.
I don't know the purpose of no action on their part...they might enjoy it!
So the war will continue until somebody DIES!
Welcome back metz....good to hear from you again!
