I am posting this message after certain comments were directed at me & especially my wife yesterday regarding a post I made.
First of all, I choose not to vote. This is my decision . To start throwing names around & casting aspersions is a bit infantile.It is my decision & it was not made lightly. If you disagree, it is your prerogative. You step over the line when you resort to name calling.Dame stepped over it with her remark abut my wife & I eating ****. I would never stoop so low as to bring ones wife/lover/or family into it & especially in a derogatory way.
Dame, you want to name call & start with the white sheet in the closet routine ( a little stale by now ) this shows the type of person you are. You boo hoo re 2 personal messages I sent you. What did you expect, flowers ? You & others on this board always rant on & on about dissent, protest & tolerance. Where is the tolerance for my views or decisions ? Not voting is my protest of politics & the political system. Apparently, if protest does not meet your criteria, you start name calling & labeling people. I expected nothing less from some of you on the board. I was surprised it took as long as it did for Dame to trot out the white sheet in the closet bit.
Unlike certain people, I will fight back when someone starts throwing out names & attacks me & my wife.When you bring wife/lover/family into it, you cross the line. Do that & I will hit you with whatever I can. It shows how bankrupt your positions are when you need to start throwing **** at someones significant other. I will never sink to that level.
You all hate GWB. Fine. Do your thing & vote him out. You want to take pot shots at me, fine. If it floats your boat be my guest. Let's at least have some civility. If you can make a promise to direct your venom at me & leave others out of it, we will have made real progress. I will never sink to your level but are you capable of taking the high road. In the past, certain posters took pot shots at her. I defended her than & will continue to do so. She did nothing to you & you do not know her ( or me for that matter ) so leave her out of it. Bring her or my family into it, I can be as nasty and vicious as you have been. Direct your venom at me & I will either answer you civily or ignore you.. These are the ground rules I play by now.
I know , up until election day, the rhetoric will be brutal.I will stay out of the battle unless my ground rules are broken. Lay into GWB as I do not care. To me everything is fair game.I know many of you hate my guts ( without ever meeting me ) . Do I care ? Nope. Another reason I quit politics is that it brings out the worst in people. This board is a prime example of this behavior. I have never seen such hate from people who espouse peace & love & ask for tolerance. Many friendships have ended over political discussions. I have a low regard for politicians in general be they GWB, Lurch, Orca ( Ted Kennedy) The original Man in The White Sheet ( Senator Byrd). You are so blinded by hate & & when politics does that to people, I say adios to politics. You can not debate your positions so you resort to name calling. I respect all political views even those I disagree with. The difference is you cannot & will not.
I suffer from a physical condition that is slowly deteriorating my muscles. It is not life threatening but serious none the less. I advised Namo of it & his compassion lasted about 2 weeks if I recall. I regularly send private messages to people who no longer post. They told me the reason they wash their hands on this board was viciousness like what Dame exhibited last night. They gave up on this board like they did on the old board
Well that is it. attack me & I will ignore you or answer you. Attack my wife & I will send you a private message. It is really simple. The ball is in your court folks. What happens now is up to you.
