7. Let me see if I have this right.

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.

2. A question for people smarter than I

How would "the stress of traveling" lead to gastrointestinal bleeding? At first blush, this strikes me as a we've-gotta-give-them-something maneuver designed to obscure something more severe...

3. Maybe a bleeding ulcer?

That can be stress-related.

5. Amongst a couple of other causes

intestinal bleeding generally means cancer.

6. That's what I'm thinking

Don't know if we'll get the whole story until after he's six feet under and six years later. But, his handing over power to his brother...oh, brother.

No doubt, Rove's already running the numbers on this one.
