I've not talked to him in over 6 months before I took a sabbatical. I can no longer use his work email. He was and is probably still in harms way defending the country. [Reply]
Here's the post (and response from Phil) that did it.

It's called humanity and consideration. I have more than a few times mentioned my reasons that it is hurtful to me. You may disagree, but that is my reality. I don't believe asking for a simple stand down was too much. If the mods want to allow some little shit with mother complex and a obsession for 89 year old women play here with no rules be my guest. It just pushes this place that much further down the outhouse well.
All I have asked the mods to do is to be more concerned about unnecessary shit that deteriorates the integrity of this forum. Me? I'm but one example. I've even been advised that having established long term identity on a forum does open the door for consideration of a libel lawsuit. Whether that's correct or not, I'm not even going to entertain that as any option. Because despite what some posters here want to make it, it's not about me. It's about this forum. When and if I leave I won't give a shit about it. But while I'm here, I still hurt that a bunch of us who go back as far as the old Star forum have to watch this place go to shit.
