OK, come on. I have nothing against BOOMM, but one of the few times that I have ever felt all out attacked on this forum, it was by him.
And it was over something that he accused me of saying, that I never actually said or even implied, he just chose to assume that is what I meant. It was very surprising to me, considering that he was ADMIN.
dizzy one...
I think OP offered the post TIC, but since he used the TIC designation in a few other posts but not in this one, who knows!
Maybe whether something is 'confrontational' or not, is in the heart of the beholder!

thanks P.M. for supplying how BOOMM's words revealed bitterness to your hearing/reading. Here is my break-out of the post:
................. I was sent your post and it was dead on.
Here BOOMM is affirming the setting/atmosphere that Mark constructed with his opening post.

Too hard to keep answering questions on WHY we were on AFF than simply don't go back.
Here BOOMM is indicating why returning to AFF to explain things does not have a value-added outcome in his personal assessment of the AFF dynamic.

Now I am told Renda even blesses blasting - something always spoken against.
Here BOOMM is commenting on something he was told (conjecture), but its relevance to him seems to be in that it [blasting] was always, vigilantly opposed with earlier Mod/Admin sessions.

Seems only the Pastor and a Conservative at heart at open territory.
Upon re-reading this several times, I am going to assume that he is saying that ‘bashing/blasting’ is strictly prohibited UNLESS it is directed toward a Pastor or a Con. That is his current assessment of a style of engagement. Does expressing this viewpoint demonstrate proof to you [Pianoman] of bitterness being resident?

One person said they post many times, delete it and realize it was not worth even typing in the first place.
Absolutely nothing here but sharing anecdotal perspective

I don't miss it at all. Since I paid most of the hosting this year, I should have removed it.
This is an expression of his own personal regret that his own finances have supported the costs of AFF web presence this year.

So, if someone can read an opposing opinion and hear "wreaked of bitterness" it seems like it should be plainly obvious,
or else maybe ....bitterness is in the heart of the beholder
I think it's obvious to most by reading their replys. Maybe it's you who needs to check their glasses.
I bet the bitterness meter would rise or fall along the particular camp one identifies themselves with.
If he wasn't bitter, he would have just walked away and put it all behind him by moving on. The tone of his comments shows bitterness.

You feel that way because you are such a pot stirrer and always in trouble.
I on the other hand, am the golden boy of ALL Admin teams.
I'll have you know I get along very well with this admin team, even when we disagree. Wanna know why? Because they're the kind of people who are objective and very easy to talk with even when things get heated. They follow their own guidelines and aren't ban happy, which is a lot more than I can say about other admins I've dealt with.
