around about some PMs and breaking DU rules in the process?

1. We flame each other; me first, admittedly;
2. A few days later you stalk me onto another, unrelated, thread and attack me there;
3. I send you a courteous PM asking you why you did this; if I remember correctly the text ran "I don't understand your responses on this thread, if I've done anything to offend you I apologise"
4. You send me a very nasty PM explaining about our previous exchange of flames and saying don't contact me again;
5. I send a one line response saying "That explains it. I advise against glass houses"
6. I ignore you (it's a function where you can blank out contributions from DUers you don't like, try it some time)
7. You decide to stalk me across half a dozen unrelated threads
8. I alert the mods and ignore you again.

Grudges shorten the life. That's why I don't bear them.
