Seems you're the lecturer here.

Project much?

LOL

And I'm dying to know who this group you perceive is getting their due is. Don't be shy. Name names!

There you go. Flame war started. Two people defending positions and what do I see. Ann Coulter/Michael Moore zings and barbs from both. Now someone will get torqued or claim the web site is degenerating and was never like this before.

So now you have a reason spend less time online lecturing people.

You have a book to write or a seminar to lead...no?

Seems you're the lecturer here. Project much?

C'mon let's play nice.

LOL!

Names? No.. no.. I make it a personal rule to not call names on FR. (There are some very sensitive creatures afoot lately.)

Beside that- someone with your obvious,superior intellect is capable of furhter "reading between the lines" on this one. Seems to be a particular gift of yours- (Why not show us your prowess again?)

Hehe.. This is me playing nice. I don't do flames anymore- swore them off a year ago! (But if you insist with that line- then I want to be Coulter -she has much cuter shoes!)

Do I get back in your good graces if I say I don't think the forum has changed- ( I think the players have a bit)... AND I never go away torqued. Beside that I am the one with the cute shoes.. remember? :]

I can't read between the lines since I have no idea who you're talking about. That's why I asked.

You say you don't name names? Then don't make cryptic references to mythical groups.

You can pretend all you wish that one cannot discern a tone in a person's posts. We all know you are being more than slightly disingenous as you toss off insults then coyly say you don't engage in flames.

While I agree that MadIvan is/was a great poster and made a heckuva lot of sense the majority of the time, I have to say that the treatment Americans get in the UK is a lot worse than a Brit gets on FR. I lived there 3 1/2 years (in the service) and got cr#p on a daily basis - NOT coming from the British media - but from Englishmen (but strangely never in Scotland, Wales, or N.I.). I was even assaulted over there because I was a "Yank" - and this was in the early 90s.

Also, as a member of another forum that is dominated by Brits - it gets a bit frustrating, especially since most of the other Americans are more than willing to heap the abuse on their on country. (Yep, main opinion there is we're all a bunch of fat overpaid morons with Nazi tendencies)

Frankly, Ivan should stick it out - he'll never convince the "bigots," but most people can figure out what's bigotry and what's a legitimate position.

Now how am I to build my English/American dictionary with Ivan gone?

Only Ivan can tell us what spanners, braces, lifts and lorries are and how it feels to be gobsmacked!!! Who is going to update us on the goings-on of the House of Windsor? Who makes a perfect cup of tea??

Ivan, we obviously are not ready for independence, we need you!!!

Why is he leaving?

Maybe he started using a Mac and didn't want anyone to know.

Sorry, I have to jump in now having read your last 2 responses:

I guess you don't remember the accounts of both children and adults being arrested and handcuffed for attempting to enter the hospice to bring water to Terri in her last dying days?

And I guess you think the people outside who were not arrested were simply wringing their hands, but were not engaged in active civil disobedience. Maybe they were PRAYING. Has that occurred to you?

MAdIvan was one of the best. He'll be back! I read plenty of posts I don't like. So what, I always come back.

Me too, where else is there to go?

"Me too, where else is there to go?"

Yep - hitting the nail right on the head. There is NO place else to go to discuss issues with fellow conservatives. I just think we have to realize that conservatives have varying viewpoints and that doesn't make someone "less" or "more" conservative.
