I don't block anyone. I don't read any cut and pastes. I don't follow any links. If you can not post for yourself, using your own thougts and references why would any one read your post or even consider it as valid?
Many of you have allowed one or two persons to dominate this board. You complain but do little and say less. You get what you silently accept.
Just an old codger irritating other old codgers.

Very good points Quarrels... Problem I have with all that is that I see what is on the news, and when it is copied/pasted here months later, I just go Roll Eyes and go on... it feels too much like a history lesson, lol... You are a VALID member of this board, and you have EVERY right to say what you like to read and what you don't like to read...

I like your list of don'ts... I think you just said what many are saying in PM's. Glad you had the guts to post it..

But you forgot about the snide comments, the insults and the FOREVER tests that we are put through here. Like when you voice an opinion, you are then TESTED on it by questions....

NO Questions needed for what you said, you were honest, and I admire that!!! Smiler

I'm keeping up with the number of times she refers to 'PMs'

She mentioned having me on ignore 23 times...then it was proven she was lying. I wonder if I can tell on ther PMs...I am pretty savy with this WWW stuff.

The same bunch, and you know who they are,have reported me for just about every post I have posted,trying to get me banned for posting.They have pulled the old feel sorry for me stunt, I'am going to leave,they took my message board from me, it use to be all very conservative and leaned on the far Right views.

Get over yourself... Dang, I had THREE couples at my house yesterday, all three of the men were cops, I allowed them to "read" you, and they were laughing so hard tears were coming out their eyes!!!!

Anyway.. .. I think on Feb first I told you that I no longer had you on ignore, because you were just too funny and entertaining ... lol.

To make a long story short, I get a boatload of PM's... whether you like it or not, they are there... in NUMBERS!!!! You can stay in denial all you want, but they are there... in fact, more action in PM's now than on the boards...

But, understand one thing... you treat me, as well as others as mortal enemies, and I don't think of you like that at all... Of course I hate your snide comments, that at ONE time seemed like dry wit... but after a while, they started becoming insulting... and that is when I drew the line.

I am going to publically apologize to you for any insulting remark I have EVER made to you, and that is all I can do to try to keep peace here... if you accept it that is great, if you don't, then I will live and carry on.... choice is yours... Frankly, I am just tired of the dissention and fussing... ya know?
Quarrles, I do the same for the most part.

I don't read copy/pasted material, I don't block anyone, and I rarely follow links. For the exact reason you don't.. If someone doesn't take the time to let others know their opinion/stance is without using C&P's, then I'm not going to waste mine trying to figure out exactly what their point is Smiler

Mostly here, I just read though, there are a lot of threads that I read and never reply to. Big Grin

Yep, Quarrel's post here was VERY valid, in fact, one of the most honest and valid one I have read in a long time Smiler ...

You just did...don't worry though...the world is full of hypocrites...


I see it as neither an attack or defense, but a feeble attempt to descalate tensions.

However, your reply reminds me of the story of the guy living on the Mason Dixon line during the Civil War. He tried to remain neutral by putting on Confederate pants and a Union shirt. He was shot by both sides. Thanks for that reminder.


tdreader... that is an excellant analogy of this entire situation and the comments it drew out!!!
At the risk of being that proverbial soldier mentioned above, I would respectfully note that not much of anything addressed to a person (as opposed to a topic or issue) on these boards should be taken personally. I seriously doubt that anyone here acts on personal jealousy.

Sure, there are people who want to see their name in lights, so to speak. And there are those who write out of boredom...or anger...or aggravation...or to get a reaction...or to feel as though they are a part of something...and the list goes on.

There are those who feel compelled to lurk, and there are those who feel compelled to post when silence would be disconcerting, and there are those who feel compelled to comment. There are those who want to comment on everything, and there are those who read everything but comment on nothing.

At the end of the day, though, it's probably not very healthy to afford too much attention to personal emotions attached to "personalities" on an anonymous forum offered by a local paper.

Just a thought (as I flee for cover)...
