Welcome one and all!

The rules are...you mention it, you post the picture!

Yeah, I know, but it takes me too long to find them, and other people do a better job, and I like to be surprised. Boy, I'm starting to sound like a Dem now -- waiting for somebody else to do it. (Although there never seems to be a shortage of volunteers!)

Belly Girl could beat up any Dem with one hand resting seductively on her curvaceous hip.

It's been my experience that many new folks get blasted out of here if they don't fall in line, and say the correct thing. And this juvenile, kitty, zot thing is really an embarrassment, and give the impression of some jr. high school clique. It's a turn off for all except those that get off on that stuff. I mean, why parade someone around for three days, mocking them after they've already been banned? Gets old. If someone breaks the rules, just quietly get rid of the account.

I'm confident that I am not the only one out here that holds this opinion.

Hey, but it's nice someone opens up a door once in a while.

Look, we've put up with your occasional snide remarks and your general condescending tone, we've made allowances for your poor spelling, bad grammar and smelly feet, but for you to come on here now in the middle of an election year midst a boom in the numbers of newcomers and cast aspersions, throw barbs and otherwise insult us old-timers all I can say is we've "Hadenuf!"

For me, English in school made Algebra look interesting.

In any event, I see you are not open to other opinions. No need to call nasty, juvenile names, and get personal. I could get real nasty and ring your bell. But I don't need to go there. I didn't realize it would hit such a nerve. It was just my honest opinion, and the truth. Don't be so thinned skinned and try and deal with it professer.

I wouldn't think that just saying what state one is in would be a problem.

I wouldn't go any further though. There are some crazy people out there.

I see I overestimated your I.Q. by about 3 degrees Celcius. :^)

I see you're compelled to continue the personal attacks, so I'll bid you farewell Professor.

The term "MediaWing of the Democrat Party" (or MW Kerry Campaign) is ta-da!! my own invention. (see author of the thread). I even got Rodger Hedgecock to use it on air when he subbed for Rush. (haven't heard him use it since, because I don't live in SanDiego).

But I'm kinda hoping that everyone will make the phrase "MWDP or MWKC" as familiar with the mainstreet of America as "Where's the beef" was during the '84 campaign. And just as hopeful as kids will soon be asking "Dan Rather? Who's that?"

The mods around here do tend to get a bit slaphappy at times.
