While I understand your stance, I respectfully disagree that the "troll" remark was meant for HH members. I can't speak for Pl3abs (or whatever his name is) but I know Rodinus and Druid. Neither of them are the type to make veiled insults. By insulting HH (calling us trolls), they would be insulting a large portion of their userbase...those who hold dual memberships....and they are well aware of those who hold those memberships.
I'm a bit unnerved by the level of hostility I'm seeing about this. I thought the situation had been resolved...amicably.
I withdraw myself from this conversation.
Also having known both men for a considerably good amount of time I would say that both are great guys as my interaction with both has been not just on conspiracy forums but outside of those as well, so you must know that I was considerably surprised by some of the things I read- however nicely stated. I did read the entire thread so as not to take anything out of context therefore giving benefit of the doubt. It was not said that all of HH members are trolls, but the insinuation that we even have trolls or that wishing to remain autonomous or not using the same software is an ego problem while not making "your mama is sooo fat" jokes is indeed condescending in attitude. Stating such is not hostility.

As you wish.
You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. There is no middle ground.
...He did send the PM to me the other day in response to how I felt about how one of their Admin talked about our site.
Who has not been subjected that one's mighty pen?
Yes - I fondly recall the days before I met the man with the pen (as tech-admin have a tendency toward)...(ahem - ahem - just between you & me - wink - wink)
HH is not the only victim of said one's silver-tongued pen.
I recall reading it as the conversation was going... Did not want to offer my opinion, thereafter.

My apologies for not having responded any earlier but it was the weekend and weekend for me is precious family time and only family time.
OOPs... looks like I created a major issue here... which was not my intention.
The debate about my original question has caused some quite heated but extremely pertinent questions for which I highly respect and understand.
It seems that the majority of members here are ok with the fact that both our sites just put up a SIMPLE link to each others sites as we have so much in common... NO MERGE (this was not what I wanted to put across) And by the way (to a certain person )... English is my native tongue but been living in France for too long so have lost a fair amount of vocabulary lol.
I will be putting up a link to HH this week (not sure when as working my testicles off RL) on our site and will keep you all informed.
Have a great Monday...

Ps. Am I the silver tongued one, or did I understand incorrectly?

Just one or two getting out of their system what is on their mind
Not sure, to be honest, who the 'silver tongued' one is that they are referring to Might be the one that you said you let go (the one that made the remark about our site that guohua did not care for)
It will be wrabbit who will add a link for CJ's....but he himself has been plagued with issues at home/work as well But I'm sure he'll get to it as soon as he gets a chance

Cripes Sen... we all have the right to say what is on our mind...And I for one really appreciated reading what all members without exception had to say...
Looking forward to Wrabbit getting his furry paws on the link.
For clarification - silver-tongued one was not you, but the member that spoke/communicated so condescendingly...with... "snot running down his nose"...bam...bam bam......or not.
You had me clenching my bum cheeks for a moment there...
I think that it was a slight freudian slip of the tongue of the person who made the particular comment on our site and was not meant in a nasty term...
Anyways... the pages of the past have turned and a new and wonderful story and adventure awaits us all...
