I am certain the poster did not intend to convey that Dale or anyone else is a bad man. The post highlights the limits of the forum--I took it as very tongue in cheek. Jesus did not weep when the two "I am taking my ball and going home" members quit....He did recall one of his favorite Bill Murray movies and say to all from heaven's on High..."Lighten Up Frances!"......
A man of art, having a keen eye for diplomacy....I, for one, applaud Dale's efforts....

If Dale is indeed a "bad bad man", then I'm in deep deep trouble as my perceptions of the world need some serious recalibration.
