Think about it, Lee. I felt the same way, but I just learned to tune out the garbage. It takes a bit of effort, but it is well worth the trouble. Stick around.

Though even that's hard now with everyone walking on eggshells. In the last couple days especially, unless you post fluff, someone's going to get bent out of shape with what you say and take you to task for it even if it means distorting what you were trying to say or if it means "reading between the lines" and drawing inferences about what you write even where nothing was meant to be implied.
And if you post fluff, someone will insult you for wasting bandwidth and not contributing anything meaningful.
It's like more people are *looking* for a fight now.

Hey I think if you would have been around here longer than a couple of months you would see a little Humor in Daves post. Also your Moron statement fits in very nicely.
Next time get it right though. Its Maroon instead of Moron. Of course on this one you probably do not have a clue either.
Hey Ford Fairlane man. Moron is spelled correctly! Dust off your junior high diploma and look it up in the dictionary! Maroon? You've got to be kidding!
<< <i>Hey Ford Fairlane man. Moron is spelled correctly! Dust off your junior high diploma and look it up in the dictionary! Maroon? You've got to be kidding! >>
No Chit old wise one. Just maybe if you would have been around here a couple of years ago you JUST might catch the drift. Same as the statement Dave made. But NO you have been here a couple of months and use WE as if everyone agrees with your position.
I suggest you learn a little before spouting off next time about a member that has been here for quite some time. I dont give a rip about what you say about me but it does bother me when you call a decent member a Moron. Got It Maroon...
I think that what Lee originally said was fair fodder. Unfortunately it has degraded into a cow pie slinging contest. We could go on all day bashing and insulting one another as Lee was and get our kicks. Maybe there should be an "Insult Forum". A slap happy side show!
Actually the sad part when somebody has announce to the world that they are better than this forum or in any other setting, its an admission that they think they are better than the members and a indication that they let others control the state of their mind rather than themselves. Tis the nature of forums for one to try to judge the temperature of others, which is a fool hardy task, time is better spent measuring your own reaction.
I've enjoyed your posts, come back soon. you'll find out on your return that you really didn't miss much...sort of like a soap ophra
I wish the moderators will next time require a handfull of members to instead take it outside into the chatroom. maybe put the key away until a few thousand words are done.
A member offends a small handfull with an explicit photo and the axe comes down...disrupting many members seems to warrant some administrative control.
Who started it with the Moron statement. Go look in a mirror and you will see.
Be careful who you insult around here. Better yet find out who you can insult and get away with it. Also Just Lighten Up a little. Hell this is a Hobby.
such a big deal about it. Do you want us to give you
a parade down main street? >>
I think it is called a temper tantrum, or they hope everyone will get on their hands and knees and beg them to stay. I say make sure the door hits you in the butt on the way out so you at least get something out of the experience. This forum is no place for the thin skinned, kinda of like the person who could not punch a hole thru wet piece of toilet paper with a baseball bat. If you read a thread you do not like hit the back button and find one you do like, if there are not any leave and come back tomorrow you never know what interesting little tidbit you will come across.
On her way to work one morning Down the path along side the lake A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew "Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you" "Take me in oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived "Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died" Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite "Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried that woman "And you've bit me even, why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die" "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin "You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in "Take me in, oh tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

If you want me to help you promote your latest get rich quick scheme by overcharging people for coins or making silk purses out of sows ears, you can go pound salt. If that's bashing so be it.

Snakes are reptiles not amphibians. Cold blooded, sharp toothed, scaly, belly crawling reptiles who will swallow you whole without chewing.

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
