Hey skywalker -

Thanks for the post...Maybe you can at least understand why I won't let them do this to me or anyone else if I can...

If gooooose posts a thread where I have nothing to add I don't post on it. If DJ posts something that I have no interest in or nothing to add I don't post on it. I don't think it is asking alot to request that they do the same for me. They don't have to honor the request, that's part of the BB world. But if you deliver flames you should expect them returned to you, also part of the BB world.

I have made this request several times, at first with all the respect due someone whom I know nothing about. Now that I see what these are all about I feel that respect is no longer due. Search this BB for their posts and see what they are contributing, at least publicly. If you call flaming people that disagree with them contributing then they are certainly leading the pack.

I suppose I could just ignore them, I choose however choose to let them continue to show themselves as the class acts that they are, since they can't goad me with words (hmmm....I wonder why?) they use pictograms, the whole hee-haw crowd goes nuts and thinks it is the funniest stuff since the Red-green show. Well, I would prefer that the crowd thinking that sort of nonsense is funny ostracize me. I don't want to be associated with that kind of mentality.

By their own words.."if you don't like it, don't read it". An extension of the same logic would be..."if you don't like the poster, don't post". And they call me the hypocrite...

One last thing and this one really gnaws at me...

These guys are using 'freedom of speech' to defend what they are doing. Remember, these are the same group of people who absolutely torched me for expressing my own opinion (and my right to free speech) about ***** and Vision hooks. I guess "freedom of speech" isn't a GGR, is it? Unless you are one of the four horsemen...even then, they are down to pictograms...

Read this post from top to bottom, I took their jibes and returned them. With decency, and their own toilet humor turned around on them.

There are enough decent people in this community that understand where I am coming from. That I have found what I am looking for every time I have looked through this forum is testament to that. Believe it or not I have friends here, that's why I even bother continuing to stick my nose out there, often times saying the unpopular thing because no one else will.

I'm done for good on this subject until they start flaming my threads again...
