[wp-forums] New Forum Posting

[Josh Lobe]

Thanks James :)

No, I didn't take it as a personal attack.  I'm sure I'm not the sole 
individual affected :)
And thank you for listening; I just needed to express my side.

The badge system sounds great!
Going to be a bit like StackOverflow, I imagine?

Thank you for the kind words.
I will certainly be seeing more of you soon.

Consider this topic closed.
