Blocking is indeed the ultimate form of cowardice for the weak minded and those who cannot come up with a good reply in general possible due to being thin skinned and not quick witted enough.
However un-blocking coupled with an admittance to the error of ones ways takes guts even if only to try revive a mindless thread in which to promote other equally mindless threads that should have died a quick death in the no responses section.
I too apologize for trying to keep this dead herring in the hot topics list.
I think now that we have both apologized and cleared the air we can resume the topic of the rook and its apparent lack of suitable size.
This clearly proves the duck is not one to hold a grudge and also gives credit where credit is due.
@Floating-Duck Welcome back ducky. Any form of apology from @FBloggs other than where he falls at your feet and begs for mercy and apology is most likely a ruse. Don't fall for @FBloggs' diplomatic tactics and stand your ground firmly.
Waiting eagerly for the debate "Rooks- are they actually ancient Indian chariots or English castles?" to commence soon. At a cinema hall... I mean a goofy thread... near you.

I couldn't resist blocking you because it was the perfect act of oppression at the perfect time. I had to do it. It was just too funny. But I shouldn't have done it. I'm a strong advocate of free speech (you know, as dictators go). President_max recommended that I commute your sentence. Evidently he sees some potential in you.
Welcome back, Duck.
