I would hope that this forum of men/women that we are all equal and we can come on here and enjoy the fruits of this board and have a good time.

Until proven otherwise, ALL members are treated with the basic respect that all human beings deserve, so in that sense yes, we are all equal. However, in the sense of equality in sharing the fruits of this community,,,,,,,NO, we are most definitely NOT all equal. You must earn your place in the community through your daily interactions with others, that is how it worked for everybody else here. Cigary has earned exactly the amount of respect he is getting.

As a new member I did read quite a few of the rules on here:

What if I see something offensive?

You will find 'Report' links in many places throughout the board. These links allow you to alert the board staff to anything which you find to be offensive, objectionable or illegal.

Please apologize for your offensive statement towards me in the post you made.

So, you want to demand an apology from a very senior and respected member of this board, while defending a member who has steadfastly refused to apologize for actions that are of a much more serious nature???? Give me a fuckin' break. Go ahead and report the post if you must, I haven't seen Shagaroo around in a while, maybe he'll handle your report. If you have read the rules so well then no doubt you will recall that we are a member moderated community.

Oh, and yes, I edited your original post. I'm sure Basil will do an adequate job of responding to the parts I chose to remove.
