Ditto with addendum, Ask for lots of examples of your offenses as if you care, which you don't! Every day is a new day with ALS, apparently. Your belligerence and hypocrisy are indefensible but there's no point in asking you to knock it off, because you like bullying in packs!
BTW ~ got porsche?
Gee, you always make sense, don't you?
To the top? Is that how this works?
Oh you mean me? Exactly how is it that you figure the "source" is defective? Never mind, an explanation is not necessary.
I've had a really good day today, at a fun event, where I saw all kinds of different people having fun and sharing fun. I'm not in the mood to get in a spitting contest with anyone tonight.
Since this thread was dead, I would have ignored this fight. However, you implied my integrity is in question, and I need to address that.
I'll just say that anyone can go to my home page and look up all my posts on this forum, or any other forum, and judge me by my comments. It will be very rare that you'll find me insulting or goading anyone. I may disagree but normally I avoid excessive flaming or participation in flame threads. I admit, I have blown off steam a time or two about the "wolf pack".
You really know nothing about me to justify saying "consider the source", other than I have countered your flames a time or two (or three).
I've been here at FR long time. I saw you tell someone last night to hover the pointer over a name to see the count which indicates when a poster signed up. You can do that with mine too.
Occasionally, I see certain people repeatedly showing complete disrespect for others and I pop in with a defensive remark, such as the earlier one on this thread.
On the other hand, anyone interested in investigating this fairly worthless matter, can also compare the history of your remarks. I usually just ignore you and let you play... but sometimes, you are so rude and disrespectful to anyone whom your group has decided to blacklist, that I speak up.
With the exception of DU disruptors, most everyone at FR is here to share an interest in opposing the advancement of liberalism. In my book, that means everyone to the right of democrats are in some degree working towards the same goals. We won't always agree and tempers will flare, but we shouldn't attempt to drive people away just because we are not in complete agreement with their opinions, should we?
Yeah, we all need to get thicker skins, but we also need to stop and think before we post a reply, if this is something you would say to a person face to face.
TF & LG - I'm not calling you here to escalate the fight, but you were mentioned earlier and I want to mention the radio show so - this is a courtesy ping.
Tex, I heard you and Luis on the radio last night and you both sounded a lot nicer than you often do on the threads. Not that you have to be excessively mannerly on the threads, mind you, but you know, people would be a lot more willing to consider your viewpoint when you're not condescending to them or insulting them. It may not matter to you what I or anyone else thinks, I don't know.
Long winded post... a sermon... I know. I'm just about done. But my status as a freeper is every bit equal to yours so please don't imply that it's not again.
I'll close with one of my favorite things to do - a couple of quotes! Cheers!
Am I self-righteous? Why not? It's not like I can count on you to be righteous for me.
Henry RollinsThe truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

Then leave me off your damned ping list or you will get what you claim you do not want. Understood?
I also think its a terrible slur on FR, to behave like that against our own people, and as someone who sees this forum as a great platform to launch substantive change to the USA, I have to step up and say something about this swarming behavior. Just because I'm not affected by it doesn't mean that others don't leave or swallow retorts out of being intimidated...You know about being intimidated right? That's when people threaten you??? That's not allowed on this forum...right?
