Hey it is a free country and I can have my opinion

That is why!! You said it. He can have his opinions too. As with the rest of us. That is what makes it a forum. Just accept that we all do not communicate in the same manner. No one is better or worse. I can sit and talk with you just as easily as I can sit and talk with Ram. I enjoy both conversations. I don't think you truly understand what Ram was trying to say with the post that upset you. Take it as a misunderstanding as did many others. If we weren't spread all across the country we could have a beer and a smoke together and have one hell of a good time. Thats what we do here. Get together and enjoy the company.

Peace.

Hey, myash, don't feel bad, I just left for a couple of hours and look what I missed.

I hope, 14theroad, brings enough popcorn and drinks for everyone. He went out for a walk, hope he gets back soon. I'm hungry for popcorn.

Hello, John hay Cigars, you make a very good point.

You slipped in on me, did you happen to see 14theroad?

If not, please bring the popcorn and drinks. ! !

Thank You.

Well said David.

My answer would be, that is what friends are for. Ron is also a stand up guy. He can be a touch loud and crazy but we can't all be the same. That would lead to a very boring existence.

It is nothing against you. I do not take what you are saying as personal. I know there are differences of opinion and each is entitled to his own. I understand that the post he made upset a few people. But the person who was directly affected by it, let it go. I just don't understand why you can't. If there is another reason, then I would like to hear it. I like to take both sides of the story and make a decision. If he did something to you, then I will weigh that out. But, until then, I will defend him.

The point I am trying to make is to let bygones be bygones and to get on with our lives. This is supposed to be a fun forum where we can say things and be forgiven. There are many people who have said things that they regretted saying--that is why people have asked for an edit feature. We are all human and make decisions that aren't always popular. Life is far too short to hold grudges for things that in the end don't matter. I read the post today from R6Rider who recently lost his father. That is the true meaning of life and of the B/SOTL on this forum. The people of this forum coming together for one of our own.

Don't let hatred get the better of you. Be the stand up guy you say you are and let it go. Life is far more enjoyable when there is forgiveness around.

Sounds good to me Charlie. Now lets all go have a cigar.

Just please remember we are only standing up for one of our own. If you ever get into a bad situation--we will be there for you too.

The following quote was sent to me, by a very close and personal FRIEND and in my book a FIRST CLASS BOTL.

This FRIEND, has chosen, not to post further on the boards. I respect,support and join this FRIEND, in this, decison. I hope all who read this, can learn from it, as, I have.

"Everybody has something(or does something) that does NOT necessarily define who they are"

Wishing you, ALL PEACE and HAPPINESS.

Hey Rammie ... you stated, "I respect,support and join this FRIEND, in this, decison."

Does that mean you as well ... have chosen not to post further on the boards?

If so ... you have my full support in your decision as well ... 😉
