I post the following with the consideration that some may find it offensive, or even good old "neighborly harrassment" inducing.....I post it not for open discussion, only as information for those who might find it reasonable to investigate.  


(Private discussion is certainly welcomed.)


I like slings as much as the next guy.........maybe more....but by comparison, I care much more about you as my fellow men, who are worthy of more than casual discussion about the sling.  


When I come to the "letters to the editor" section of the local paper,  I pick and choose what is appropriately located in that section of the paper. (much like this section of the site)  I simply skim over that which I find disinteresting.


I don't agree with everything, who does?  But I am nonetheless, thankful that freedom of speech still exists.  


I have found that usually those with much to hide, recommend that those with which they do not agree go and do the same.

"I may not agree with what you are saying, but I will defend to the death, your right to say it."


It is said that frogs, which are quite thin skinned, absorb all manner of toxins from the environment and are good indicators of what's ahead regarding world pollution.


I believe that's true.


If Chris and his administrators find my words too offensive or inciteful to handle.......possibly even moreso than 4 letter expletives,  I would certainly understand.  Though sadly, such is the highly engineered status quo of the world these days.  Let me know publicly or privately by either changing the name of this particular section of the forum to read: "Administrative and other topics besides heavy non escapist stuff" or perhaps even posting a list of 'verboten' words or topics?


Or for that matter, any other means they deem appropriate.


FWIW....I leave those in the forum among my fellow Americans with the following:

yeah true but why is it such a big deal when someone puts his idea's into a forum..when someone feels something is worth to be shared there should be no problem  i mean no matter how wierd something sounds to someone the person saying it Must have a reason to share it otherwise he wouldn't bother...

If you where to come on the forum and say "how much you hate christians." You would be just sturring up a hornets nets. There are certain things on this forum that we WILL NOT stand for. If someone posts about one of these bad topics then it will be locked, deleted or your account will be erased (someone did just get the boot too). I don't see anything wrong with this topic at all. Post away, just be good

i'll try and behave btw gun your avatar seems to be missing is my pc acting up again or did you change it  

also who got the boot ? just curious

Nvm its back

It is working fine with me


As for who got the boot, i am not going to say. I know who it was but i don't know exactly why. I do know however that they were a repeat offended, and did deserve to be kicked off. If one of the other moderator want to tell everyone that fine with me, but i think he was the first one kicked off (but i could be wrong). The moderators here (this includes me) are usally pretty leant with most stuff. Take the more about indians topic. It proably should have been shut down, but no one was having any e-fighting so I left it alone.

CanDo I am very pleased that one of your age can speak with such wisdom. I agree with all that you said. I also think that alittle tolerance goes a long way

My reason for getting shirty with the other member was that I have been a member of a number of e-groups that have been destroyed by one or two of the members getting into insane flame-wars. That Person's posts were the sort that inspire those things.

Were I to start posting full-page posts (and boring, badly written full pages at that)  extolling the joys of Satanism, or Marxism, or some other 'ism I would expect people to get annoyed at me.

So when a member starts using this forum to post his religious preachings mixed with barking conspiracy theories and calls for political action, i get cross.

Sorry to everybody else.
