Blues Shark - For people who like this sort of thing, then this is just the sort of thing they'll like Started conversation Jun 21, 2003
Some time ago, You left a message on my u-space regarding certain hostilities on this site. Rather shamefully I ignored it because, frankly, I didn't know quite how to respond.
Which is not the same thing as saying that I didn't appreciate that somebody had noticed I was trying to point out that amongst all the wit and hilarity of the spoof accounts (and I'm guessing it wasn't any real news to find who was behind them 
, there were real people with real feelings being hurt.

Not a problem. As I recall, you were rather caught in the middle, due to your RL situation.

Indeed. 
You staying this time or just passing through? I miss those Guide Entries...

Still contemplating whether or not to stay around for a while.
While I still have some hard feelings about events of the past, and probably always will, I've made a few new friends here as well. Plus, I find that I actually miss writing those guide entries.
Right now, I'm leaning towards taking up at least semi-permanent residence.

That's cool. I can understand those feelings. It was an ugly time here on the site. I hope (I think), things have gotten better.
And i will say to yourself the same thing that I said to Blatherskite the Mugwump when he re-appeared. For my part, I bear no grudges. The past is a different country, and they do things differently there.
Btw, congratulations for spotting that the h2g2 editorial team are at the bottom of the BBC foodchain. Like yourself, I am somewhat surprised that HVL can't see it...

I can't, in good faith, take credit for the food chain observation. It was first brought to my attention by my life partner, a good long time ago!
For now, I hold no expectations of things having gotten better, or failing to have done so. I'm willing to let events unfold as they will and find out.
