This place is BORING!!!!! Since the crack down on the posting by that evil, evil, EVIL I TELL YOU SteveR of C-Bid fame this board has went to ****. ( Though I did enjoy Bloody's and Buckwheat's little tete a tete. Hated to see it happen between two BOTL I really do not know but have a have a modicum of respect for, but at least it was entertaining! ) It's sad what a bunch of whining cry babies can accomplish. Seems like my post counts have went down a long with a few others. Any one agree....disagree?

Agreed. Rug even had something nice to say about you the other day.

not since... well you know what I mean

I always feel like, somebody's watching me . . .

they are......can't ya feel them watching right now???

they're even watching those people that throw ya under the bus!

it's like i'm strapped to the road and i can't get up!

Only a modicum of respect, Erik???

Bastid.

Besides, deep down I think we respect each other.

Just need a slap fight now & then to clear the air. LOL!

Jet/Pablo/Dup, no need to be paranoid.

(• ¿• ) (gulp) ( •¿ •)

Oh, you too, Tey.

Didn't mean to leave you out.

(no insults please)

erkwgz,

Your post hints at being controversial. It should be suppressed.

In the end, all we'll have left is cello on/cello off.

Hi, my name is andytv..........what should I smoke?

Bloody,

modicum(moderate)

Respect, in my mind has to be earned, since I have had no dealings with you or Buckwheat and only "know" you thru this charming little thing called the internet, a modicum, I think, is a fair word.

I respect your taking up for Rick M and your not bending on your beliefs. BUT, as you once sad to me, you can be a mean bastid. Which...I have no problem with but others who are looking for a little christian guidance and help might.

I thoroughly enjoy your and Buckwheats sarcasm and wit and hate to see two of the most entertaining posters have a battle that disentigrates into a childish, name calling 3rd grade level contest.(No matter how entertaining it is!) Just my .02, not that it is worth anything.

Erik

P.S. Sometimes a simple Fug You is appropriate. Just not in this new Orwellian society we have here.LOL!

Zzzz....

Oh! Sorry! What was the question? Too caught up in all the excitement around here...

I almost didn't even try to log in this morning out of fear that The Hammer had fallen on me overnight. I was a good boy last night, but I found myself racking my brain this morning on whether I said anything last night that someone could have been offended by.

You always have to watch what you say and do at work, with family, and around kids. This place is my outlet to let off some steam. If I have to have my work/family/kids censor filter on when I'm here, it won't be fun for me any more.

If most of my favorites end up banned, I'll just pull back on the number of postings I make (Stop Cheering!)and see if I can slowly wean myself off of this addictive site.

Then again, SteveR could always decide to make me go Cold Turkey whenever he wants.

Erik, I took the "minimum" not "moderate" definition of the word.

Pheeeeew, that's a relief (up a notch).

See, I value your opinion of me.

Glad you enjoyed our little exchange, bro, but aside from the "FU" comment, I (modesty aside) thought that it was an overall intelligently- executed exchange, laden with sarcasm and hidden meanings.

It didn't really degenerate into a 3rd grade level as you put it.

Re-read it.

I also disagree with you about the need for a "Fug Yu" in the heat of anger.

IMO, when you resort to that, you have lost the argument for lack of an appropriately civil, verbal retort.

It comes across as having a limited vocabulary.

Yeah, even in this Orwellian board. LOL!

Having said that, I don't mind some vulgarity or innuendo in the right context and circumstance.

That's why I enjoy many of your posts as well.

Blood

"Besides, deep down I think we respect each other.

Just need a slap fight now & then to clear the air. LOL!"

True. We do seem to need to bump horns every now and then and there is no question that there is a mutual respect between us. It must be a character flaw that was passed down from my Irish ancestors. No harm done and we need to take Shawn up on the Herf. I'll bring my boxing gloves and bandages (for me).

You are correct that I was putting a little too much "anti Christian" emphasis in my Life of Brian quotes. Once again it is just a character deficiency on my end. The whole Santa thing was just a poor attempt on my part to generate a parody of Santa/Hoffa. I didn't consider it as a slap on Jesus or Christianity but I can see your point given the other posts and general tone.

Now I have to go out and see if I can blow out my ACL (man my knees hurt). To quote CaribbeanSoul, Peace and Weekend Grease!!!

P.S. Yes my FU was a knee jerk reaction and I was on the ropes. My apology to Steve and CB. Once again, it must be my Irish ancestry.

Hey, and I'm Spanish but we're also known as Celtiberian.

Need I say more? LOL!!!

And I get cranky sometimes...

Come here, ya big lug. (c;

PS: I know we'll fight again but until then, here's to you. Salud!

You guys miss the mobs of villagers, carrying rakes, shovels, and axes, and (lets not forget) the burning torches, that chase down the Frankenstein monster and burn him in the old mill or something like that? LOL

I think it's safe to say, after my outburst with tuck, that you can pretty much carry on with business as usual and not get booted. Censored, for sure, but not booted.

Which is basically the middle ground, I think. You're not booted, your posts are just **yanked by SteveR@CigarBid. So you are still able to say what's on your mind, but shortly thereafter it's censored so as not to offend the pantywaists.

I guess if we're going to compromise, i'll take that without complaint.
