He's another shelby who whines and pisses and moans about things he doesn't like and then engages in EXACTLY the behavior he claims to find so objectionable.![]()
He can't even make cogent arguments without personal attacks and illogical reasoning so just like shelby, there's no reasoning with him.
Please don't encourage him.

Bill, you baited me once before with incorrect statements, false accusations and a general shit-slinging series of posts.
It isn't happening again.
I posted a response to alot of the comments in this thread, and even complimented you.
Enough's enough. Have fun playing in your sand box pal.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
You weren't here when the Barry fiasco started, and then Sid started defending him, and started a shitstorm doing so?
i don't think you understand what happened, but you kind of imply that you do. I would be careful about making generalized statements about things that happened before you got here.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
Baka, I joined here (if I remember correctly) right about the time Barry did. I do remember Sid defending him (and the surrounding feud), but for the most part, didn't read much on it and fairly much stayed away from it. If I also remember correctly, they were friends somehow before Barry joined the board, and that Sid invited him.
While I don't pretend to know all the issues concerning some of the "personality clashes", I do believe that many are fueled by differences in political views, and I'm sure you'll agree that much of the shit-slinging has been a result of political posts and taunting. If I indicated in any of my posts that I know exactly all the issues around said feuds, I apologize to anyone offended and retract that (those) statements.

Hi. My name is Jim and I like to shave!
Newfie - I think baka hit the nail on the head.
Most of the "players" in this latest dust up have not been here to understand the context of the argument. Kinda like walking into a husband and wife screaming at each other and saying it's a bunch of noise and not in the least bit useful. Sure - at the moment is stinks - but it should (theoretically) lead to resolution (one way or the other). Hard for someone to judge who's right or wrong because there is no context - you have no history behind the current dispute. Siding with one or the other is really not the appropriate thing to do. Believe me - I've been there and done that. One of the most dangerous things you can do is to step in the middle of that...
Most of the current people upset by these events were not here when CC came to this board. Many were not here in previous disputes. Quite a few were not here for the genesis of the current dispute. Personal relationships between "disputees" and some of the people expressing frustrations with the current malaise did develop AFTER the dispute started - which would logically color (or colour, for you Canadians in the audience) your judgment. Honestly think about it - it really may not be in your means to understand what's going on. So, logically, opinions that you express will most likely ruffle one side or the other.
BTW - despite your best efforts to deny it - this is about as close as you can get to a full blown democracy. With all the craziness usually associated with being able to say pretty much what you want. There are limits - as in yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. What CC is saying is challenging, no doubt - but it does not rise to the level of "fire". Learn to accept there are differing viewpoints, and learn to argue with a mind that is not clouded by personal feelings.
In other words - develop a thick skin...![]()
Hiya George.
No doubt this will come to a resolution one way or another. Unfortunately, it may mean people leaving unnecessarily, that's what I hate about the situation.
Someone please tell me if I'm 100% right, totally out to lunch, or somewhere in the middle when I say I believe much if this is fueled by political beliefs!! Like I said before, I don't really give a damn if you, or Sid, or Bill, or Barry, or whoever thinks the Republicans are better than the Democrats , or vice versa. I just don't think it should evolve to bad friendships here.
No, I don't have any history behind the current dispute, I'm just looking at the possible results. I don't believe I'm taking sides, either.
I like to think I have a thick skin and can stand up to quote a bit of crap, I just hate what's going on here. There was a thread quite a while ago about a "Home Board". I like this place (and the freedom allowed) and like the vast majority of the people.
This discussion, like many others, can have no settlement. Some people will always agree to disagree.
Agreed??![]()

Here was my question:
I did not "put words in your mouth" that's an incorrect statement from you which is synonomous with a lie.So Newfie according to your logic, it's okay for people to "up" and never apologize for it, correct?
Once again, the question is simple and it would be nice if you'd either say "Yes, that's okay in my book." or "No, you are wrong, I don't believe it's okay for people to "fuck up" and never apologize for it. I think they should man up and accept that they were wrong."
But instead you start whining and "slinging shit" as you falsely accused me of.
