I find it more than mildly amusing how you get so bent out of shape when someone takes a snippet of a piece of your past and uses it against you.... and yet, when you do it, it's all "LOL" this and that.
Take some of your own medicine. If you can't take the heat of a moment in your past, perhaps you shouldn't be dishing it so much.
But hey, feel free to keep using other's people's past out of context as a form of attack yourself, cause your rules don't apply to yourself, just everyone else.

What started the whole rift between you and Joe anyway? Did he just one day decide to attack you or was there something else that happened?
From what I understand Joe got a pretty good spanking when he came online. I wouldn't want to help out people who gave me such a hard time when I started either. I wouldn't go out of my way to piss with them but that's me. I don't really care about 90% of the trash that posts anyway. Bunch of bigshots with big mouths that think they are something...
Like you say though, if you aren't prepared to receive an attack on the boards, don't be so quick to dish one out.
Bent out of shape?
lol...we were just laughing on ICQ the other day about how this whole "Dirty past" thing was grasping at straws. I mean come on. Is that the best they got? Burning trash and working flea markets?
Yet, when they take it to the boards, it's not presented like it's "Burning trash and working flea markets"... Brad even went as far as to ask this question "Isn't Joe a convicted sex offender or something?" They present it like Joe has some big secret criminal past that he's trying to hide from people. People read those statements, devoid of any context and I am sure assume the worst because they can't think for themselves, they let the big names on the boards do their thinking for them.
Inuendo is a hell of a thing.
Bottom line is, unless it affects your bottom line, don't sweat it.
I think the inuendo that was being presented on GFY however could have hindered Joe's bottom line as far as prospective new clients etc.
If the FACTS had been presented on GFY I am sure the "Joesho you have a dirty past" threads wouldn't have received so much press. I don't think it would have been such a big deal. Hell, how much illegal burning happens on construction sites around the world on a daily basis? I know we used to. I had no idea that there were things deemed unlawful to burn. I would have been fined aswell.
Personally, I don't have a problem with you Stuart but I do see you doing as much stalking in Joe's threads as he does with yours. Hardly a Joesho thread goes by without you throwing your, mostly negative, two cents in. If you stopped, maybe he would too. Just a thought.
