You’ve gone out of your way to call names, insult, and otherwise behave unkindly toward me, for what reason I can only surmise is that it makes you feel good to do so.

I have made reasonable attempts to deal with your rudenss, but to no avail. For this reason, I will not post to you again.

Sobeit.

PARDON ME???

I said you misrepresented my posts (TRUE), avoided answering questions posed to you--i.e. discuss (TRUE), changed the subject (TRUE), and after repeated attempts to keep the discussion on target, I said you argued like a liberal (My Opinion). I also commented on literacy as you apparently did not comprehend the meaning of the word guess, since you kept going back to saying you did not know (also TRUE).

Please--show me EXACTLY where I called you ANY name or "behaved unkindly"!!!! I did NOT!

Slander and run. Liberal tactics on full display, yet again.

I don’t frequent any, but I have never seen anyone dressed like that on any flight. Maybe a cocktail party. Her dress is inappropriate. Actually from the pictures I’ve seen it looks like lingerie and not day time attire. That’s my opinion. I know my husband would not like me to dress in that fashion for public viewing. It is called modesty.

A dress code based refusal cannot be equated with a color of skin refusal.

Are you implying that store’s should have the right to refuse serving people of color?

As I said in post #12, I always get flack for it.

I have nothing against skin color. If I had a business, I would not be so utterly stupid to refuse people for such silly and meaningless reasons.

But if Kanye West opened a restaurant, if he took his savings, bought a piece of property, built a restaurant, hired staff and get all set for business, and if he then decided that people like me were not welcome, I would just shrug my shoulders and say "It's your property, man. If I'm not welcome, I'll go over to Sylvester Stallone's place. He's happy for any business he can get. No hard feelings."

But I guess you want government to force Kanye West to welcome me?

I'm SURE I'll get attacked for this observation, but am I the only one who's noticed that so many threads these days end up with a couple of posters battling it out?

It doesn't matter what the topic is either. So much fighting, and distraction. So tiresome.

It’s come to my attention, too. I think some people really like to argue just for the sake of arguing. I don’t understand it.

But I know some posters have become almost lurkers in order to avoid it. I think that’s an indication that it’s gone too far.

I don't come here nearly as much as I used to. I've been a member since early 2004 but changed my screen name. I was very active on this site before. Too much fighting now. Last week, there was a nasty battle going on between two posters on a thread about a woman who died so she could deliver her baby. She refused chemotherapy. My point being is that, the topic doesn't matter.

I lurked for quite awhile before signing up to post. I noticed some ‘spirited’ posting re: Terry Schiavo and Natalee Holloway.

I’m truly sorry that it backed you off so much, especially since you seem a reasonable person. And yes, I see what you mean about topics not mattering.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Last time I flew Southwest there was a granny with her 6 year old sitting next to me!

:-(

I’ve seen the SWAir “attendants” in their brown shorts... I think they’re just jealous of these women ;)

The corrupt justice system in Aruba literally had Natalie's family going in circles in their attempt to find her. You know the whole story and so do I. What that government---justice system and police department put Natalie's family through has been outrageous...it infuriated me.

I can well relate to having problems with a few other posters on a thread. I don't think "vilified" is too strong a word to describe the treatment I received from a few on that thread, often through private mail. (Obviously, they didn't want the other posters, their {pals}, to know how really mean-spirited they are.)

The Natalie Holloway thread was dominated by a clique. Newbies were not welcome.

I've posted on other sites, including some Freeper threads, and I've never experienced the animosity which spilled forth from some on the Natalie thread.

Who needs it? I never involved myself again.

Debates, differences of opinion, have to be expected among posters. That makes for a more interesting dialogue. BUT, it can be done in a civil manner.

Thanks, IIntense, for your input. I couldn’t agree more.

From what I can see, her breasts are 95% covered.

So not having those suckers strapped down is grounds for removal? She is properly covered.

Lib, as I understand it, it was passengers who complained.

Pissant, Charter Mile High Club member, how precious to hear from you! ;o)
