Sorry Rob, just blowing off some steam.
Golan was rude, abusive and mean to me in the past.
Since I REALLY DON'T want this to escalate into a fight (Golan and some of
his 'friends' seem to like picking them) and I don't want to get suckered
into anything else, I will just leave it at that.
I don't think I could go to a meeting without cornering him and telling him
to say to my face what he said to me online.......that would probably just
be playing into his hands, and I don't want to kick his ass either, because
(a) I would have that on my conscience and would feel bad and (b) from what
he said earlier, he would want to complain to the police if I so much as say
'boo' to him, so the whole thing is no-win for both of us.

But like I said, I wanted to blow off some steam.
And also let members know that he treats some others online in a pretty
abusive manner and it probably does not reflect well on TPUG.....I have had
numerous complaints about IRC channels that he and his friends frequent and
apparently he and his friends spread a lot of grief around.   I guess I just
have to learn to ignore his antagonistic behaviour instead of reacting to
it.

Anyways.....
Cheers to those in the TPUG community that are actually friendly and
respectful
