Gary,
What a disappointment...you were doing so well at keeping out of the fray!
Just to clarify, the word "little" can be seen quite often in previous posts between Wizard and AZ Mike, and it was generally said by Wizard to AZ. Wizard was also calling him "Gollum" and even posted a picture of that character.
As for me, I have no trouble getting along with AZ Mike. He was allowed back on the forum, and I am glad. His banning never was right, in my opinion, and he certainly wasn't (and isn't) the only one to get angry or to call names. I was a little hesitant at meeting both AZ Mike and Wizard when I was a newcomer here, after hearing them go at it on the forum, but I quickly discovered that they can and do work well together, and are reasonable when talking face to face.
You have just succombed to the same thing you are saying is wrong...saying that AZ is revealing his"true character" in his posts is insulting, as is suggesting Jack Nicholson to help him with anger management. What I see, on the other hand, is that AZ Mike's true character can best be discovered by spending time with him in person. That is true of everyone. Take your time with conclusions about people. Some of the animosity comes from taking a "side" in the Bowen Ranch Takeover attempt, and some would love to discredit anything said by someone on the other "side." Talk to other hot-springers about them as well. You may be surprised.
Peace and happy soakin'
