You have now gone over the line...............you will either add in your "TO:" line posters you are attacking and maligning or you will refrain from doing so - you've got a simple choice.

Look over your shoulder at the other computer, why should I post to 2 computers in the same house?

Also, etiquette doesn't apply to trolls, I follow the rules here.

This is a breaking news thread. There are forums for brownie making and friendship. Please find one of those threads and keep your personal information out of the breaking news threads. Now that is rule here.

Etiquette to Trolls is not.

What are you talking about? We are 1000 miles or more apart.

You don't follow the rules and you are rude.

There are a lot of words that could be used to describe that post of yours - but I choose to not use that type of language, not just because I would be banned for it, but because I am better than that.

If I stated you "had to" put those you were talking about in the "to:" list I apologize....I do know I said it was a common courtesy done here, and I may have said it was generally expected, and yes I may have even said it was required.

What is it with you and your obsession with AOL???? No one could PAY me to use anything they provide.

As to picking up the phone and crying to each other, have you looked at long distance phone call rates for daytime calls??????? I live in Virginia, annyokie lives in Oklahoma, we are both SAHMs - long distance phone calls are not something we take lightly.

I don't know what your problem is, but apparently something about 2 women, hundreds of miles away from each other, who happen to be friends gets your goat.

I have also made the same request.....more than once, and so I doubt it ever change.

A functioning "ignore feature" would be wonderful here and I think JohnRob is working on it, but in the future I will use the same "ignore feature" I use on some other threads..........certain people I just don't bother with.

What are you talking about? Both my husband and daughter are asleep and so their computers are not functioning at this time.


OH that's right you've got this warped idea that someone living in Oklahoma can also be in the same place as a person living in Virginia.....gotcha.

And I'm supposed to take anything you say seriously????? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA

You're correct about etiquette and trolls........I'm done with you, noobie troll.

"You don't follow the rules and you are rude"

There is no rule against rudeness to Trolls. If you think Im wrong, see below a post by Jim R.

Statement by the founder of Free Republic
Free Republic ^ | Jim Robinson

Posted on 03/22/2004 6:22:17 PM PST by Jim Robinson

I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.

Yup, Jim posted that - just like you said....

And why you haven't been sanctioned yet is beyond me.......I don't doubt it will though.

Defending the fat bureaucratic largess of public schools and attacking Catholics, Private Schoolers, and Home schoolers is contrary to our mission statement.

Defending the socialist government tax and spend policies of school districts is contrary to this statement.

I have never been on that side of the fence, but your friend has, and in many cases.

Your posts give me no reason to have any reason to even imagine you have any credibility, let alone any integrity.

You don't know me from adam, so don't presume anything about me and some "our mission statement." I have no connection with you, and based upon your postings and attitude on this thread, I don't ever want one.

Good night sir........I have a sick child and need to get some sleep so that I can function after my husband leaves for work in the morning. Not that you will care or believe a word of that statement because you have this thing in your mind that somehow annyokie and I live together...........what a sick and perverted idea that is.

"I will say it one more time to you - when you are talking about another poster and naming the poster in a post, it is proper to add that posters name in the "TO:" line."

I did not know this, thank you for pointing this out. It does seem to be a coomon courtesy I overlooked. I had been committing a no-no and didn't know! Now I do, so I will not make that mistake in the future.

When I mentioned earlier about people looking beyond their front door, I meant that as an expression of looking outside the box, seeing differences beyond the town or community. Gabz, you did that, and were able to see you needed to migrate.

If you could only see outside my front door at the moment....yikes!

TY for the WTFD ping.

Dear Mr. Esoxmagnum,

I am all for vouchers. Let's make it happen.

However, there is no winning an argument as far as what people are choosing to do at the moment. We each choose what works.

The defense of public schoolers is that they don't want the schools to fall away completely, but let the bad ones fail and the good ones be an example of what a community wants.

As said before, EVERYONE agrees that Public Education is in a poor state overall.

As far as Annyokie, I cannot speak for her, but I would guess that after years of being bonked over the head by zealots, I'd become a little testy myself.

And I am positive that Gabz and Annyokie are not one in the same.
