That's because I work with stealth technology and I have a tendency to get close to my work:D

I remember you....were you thrown off ? If so, how do you get back ?

I am trying my best to not get into trouble on the forum, but it is hard when bullies keep hounding me all the time. Maybe he will grow up and get off my back.

Not being a wise guy, but was not meant as a hug....I just did not know you could be thrown off and get back on. If that is true...hmmmm.,,

Bucco: for what it is worth this guy's tactics do not provide him any credibility. I for one will ignore his posts.

Thank you Rubicon. Please ask your friend to do the same and this will be a better place to discuss politics without insults.

This is starting to wander way off topic and becoming personal.

The admin is well aware of the history.

A good discussion up to now. We appreciate the feedback. Our role is not to stifle discussion or dissent but to insure that people treat each other with respect and post with civility. A good bit more leeway is granted in political than in the main forum.

Thank you and My apologies if I offended the Forum. I let one member get under my skin and I suppose he is just needling me to have fun. I will think that thought in the future and pray I stay in his blind spot from now on. Sorry for any inappropriate comments from me Rich.

And a thorn is still a thorn. :icon_wink:

exactly

I imagine this will be deleted like my revealing post above, but I've got to say, sadly, there is little "Freedom Of Speech In Political", per the title of this thread.

There are items you cannot talk about here that make little sense to me. I'll never understand it.

I will not say anything on this forum that I would not say to your face. You can take that to the bank.

ditto what figmo said.

btk

I am with you on that Figmo. :beer3:

Unfortanetly I would also say the same things in person. What bothers me and I have the situation now are folks who simply make cracks..one liners, sometimes but not always relative to the thread, but all the posts seem personal. I have now begun to report them all and we will see. I do not know the basis on which the admin works but we will see.

I am not speaking of those who disagree with your opinion..that is fair game but responses that have nothing to do with what you say or what the thread is about, simply a smart crack of some kind.

This may not make sense but it has driven me to vacations from the board :) but no more....I have been here since it started and I do not attack anyone but have much too sensitive to them coming after me but no more.

I have had reasonable discussions on here with folks who disagree with me totally but it is difficult if you are talking about an economic issue that the response is to make fun of someone who is not even part of the conversation and is not even in politics any longer.
