@ColonelJessup said: @heatherboyd, cancel my subscription to the Resurrection, there's a new sheriff in town. His inability to resist his own internal destructive stimuli made the choice for you all. His refusal to stop stalking me has led me to the conclusion that, since Forum rules allow this, @CJ's rules are "Why would I bother to try to swim upstream against the never-flowing river of shit that flows from this ignoramus' mouth?)
Consider me ready to be banned. Forum, thanks for the memories. Enjoy your new grading resource and history teacher..
Nice knowing you. Don't let the door...……..

If CJ leaves, I'M LEAVING THE COUNTRY! Of course I'm just pulling the same stunt as all those other PHONIES with no true conviction or moral backbone.
Yes, that's what this thread needed: political references.

Just delete the offending post and say I am sorry. and mean it. Blame the wine or scotch. Blame your wife or Girlfriend (after you buy her 50 red roses and some bling)or just a bad day. we all have these at times. letting others, especially morons, get under your skin is not good. it usually causes some bad reactions....which one later regrets. Heather and most of us will forgive you.
You are a asset to this forum.....
most of us will miss you....
Maybe he should send $1000 to Mensches for Jesus as well.
There are a lot of forums that clean up problem posts, deleting content not members unless they deserve it. Maybe keeping someone on, under moderated status is preferable than banning someone. Which is a tiny bit like life in prison instead of capital punishment.
I Seldom post. I read a Lot. The person of your objection happens to be the One Person that I Enjoy Reading the Most...
I have No idea what Specific thread got under your collar, however, I think this guy is the most knowledgeable of the things that I am Interested in...
A plea for you to stay,
In the words of Bukowski....
nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quit and /or die quietly
inside.
nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?
nobody can save you but
yourself
and you’re worth saving.
it’s a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.
think about it.
think about saving your self.
your spiritual self.
your gut self.
your singing magical self and
your beautiful self.
save it.
don’t join the dead-in-spirit.
maintain your self
with humor and grace
and finally
if necessary
wager your self as you struggle,
damn the odds, damn
the price.
No need to read it twice. As soon as I got near the end it was perfectly clear.
Sort of like the surprise ending in the "Sting" - one of the VERY FEW times I have ever been totally "blindsided" by a movie plot!
Usually I can tell exactly what will happen in a movie. I like to say "I could write 'em."

Consider deleting this thread and having a cup of coffee. The forum is better off with you as a part of it. There will always be differences in opinions, but we can still be civil towards one another.
Careful with your words. Some one told me once the forum was better off with me apart of it.
Yet another situation where the thermonuclear detonation of the preexisting doomsday device could have been averted by the mere presence of the (gasp) disagree button.

A more subtle approach might have accomplished a smidgen of the same, without the conflagration. Think beneficent, not maleficent. But some rolling stones, or perhaps boulders, cannot be stopped. Sorry to see you go. At least We'll always have Paris.

Listen colonel, I'm not a coin collector. I'm a card collector and I just happened to see this thread. Don't let whoever this is ruin your happiness on the forum. You're obviously a legend here. People have attacked me my whole life for one thing or another. I never back down. Neither should you. Stand your ground colonel. Now get up soldier! On your feet! Your forum fans need you!

I'll miss you Colonel, enjoyed your humor.
And I understand your pain...
Please stay CJ

Bye CJ (guess Heather is busy...), we will miss you.
Yes, that's what this thread needed: political references.
Let's all be enlighten .......... borrowed from @DiggerJim post of @asheland "Random Picture Thread for Friday"
Let's keep it coin related:
Someone getting under CJ's skin? Never thought I would witness that!
Yikes, what a post! I might not understand everything you post on the first read, but after a bit I think I get it.
The ignore button can be your friend, I have my phasers set on stun and ignore for one blatherer here, it really does help.

@ColonelJessup I've always enjoyed your contributions to the forum. Amazingly I only have one person on ignore and it's not you.
