Oprah Winfrey? ( Nominated "Color Purple) Just a wild guess. Bartlett

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! Your pal; Bartlett
