    Just my two cents........

    All the "verbal battling" back and forth ...........entertaining to the reader..........ya know......we all have a team we root for.........I don't mind that at all

    The bigotry........sadly a part of life......seen it all of my life....am sure I will continue to see it for the rest of my life...........dont like it.........but it is a fact.....and some people like to flaunt it.......ok

    but.....that being said.......what I do find to be TOTALLY unacceptable is someone altering posts.......if ya wanna edit your own posts, fine....I do it often because of spelling or grammar errors(I am freaky about that) but to alter someone else's post is akin to "plagiarism" not to mention the sexual content. Very Bad form Senko.........as I said altering posts is unacceptable.

    I'm with Loodvig. I try and distance myself from negativity. We have enough around us without harping on it.

    Plus, real life is keeping me busy. Boss hurt himself last week on trouble. It's slowing him down and keeping me hopping! He is fine. Darn those rabbit holes!

    We now have bigots posting their sick hate filled opinions. We now have one moron obsessed with homosexuality altering posts to express his hate. Pictures of racist homosexuality are appearing.

    This is certainly not an acceptable behaviour in most of society, but the moderator won't do anything because he's afraid of liability.

    What's next?? Child Porn pictures or videos?? I see some posts showing up talking about that and intimating members of being Pedophiles. It won't be long before it is "in your face" if the last 10 days is an example of what we can expect.

    I find the expected Anarchy has blossomed with gusto since Byron stated he wouldn't do anything to correct the behaviour on powerlineman.com.

    So after going and crying to the moderator you're now choosing to call the moderators out solely due to the fact that your unable to get your way? Do you always act so childish? I am sure when you're on a roll with your demeaning, attacking, repetitive posts on every different topic in the forum is totally acceptable (no need to get mods involved because hey, you're havin fun) eh? It is acceptable in your eyes to act however suites you at that time, but as soon as someone acts in the same manner you begin to throw nothing short of a tantrum. Granted manipulating comments was not in good taste, if you (specifically Steve and CL) do not post homosexual references directed my way I wont post homosexual references yours. I have attempted to be respectful towards everyone who provides it, its a simple as that.

    I am considering removing myself voluntarily from this board, at least for a while. I would like to state though, it has been mentioned a couple different times by a couple different folks, CL enjoys what he does and specifically posts certain things for nothing else but to aggravate whomever those attacks are directed at. Now my attacks directed his way were meant to do just that and to prove a point. If you are all accepting of his antics, mine should be accepted just the same. Big difference is I feel no need to go crying to folks asking to have specific people banned because I got upset.

    Senko, "Manipulating posts" is beyond being distasteful........I(obviously) have a great affection for the written word....thus I have great respect for the right we have to use it.....in private as well as in public........

    To "edit, transform, or just downright make up" someone else's words is opening a "can of worms" that just should not be opened, in my humble or not so humble opinion.

    Granted this is just an internet forum......linemen.....and the likes......bull$hitting back and forth in print.....and not a literary vehicle......but as I said..........editing posts is a big NO NO...Someone's words are theirs and theirs alone as they convey a message from the writer, that, like it or not.....is soley theirs.

    How do you edit or alter someone else's post? Did Senko do that or did he just change what someone had said in his own post? I don't know that what he did was something that I would have done , but it is certainly no worse than coming on this site with nothing more on your mind than aggitating others with constant nitpicking and snide remarks and then jumping back and screaming for the administrators help when he is unable to get them to submit to his way of thinking, CL doesn't see it because his blinders are on, but he is one of the problems of this site, but I will have to give it to him he stays down here in the BS section of this site. Loodvig called it right, it's probably best to stay away from what bothers you, on an internet site anyway.

Would you want your mother or wife or daughter to read some of this stuff that you guys post on here? Two grown men should be able to have discussions without the filth, Why don't you guys use the PM board for the nasty stuff after all it's between you guys, not everybody else. I for one respect the people who try to keep it respectful on here as it is easy to be hateful and ugly over the internet when someone is not standing there in front of you.

I, by my own free will, elected to click the quote tab. I in no way have the ability nor did I attempt to manipulate any of his original statements.

    Even after the numerous attempts to make him aware, as you said, he must have blinders on or just by nature, irrational. My antics are not excusable, going forward I will keep my comments either decent or to myself.

Byron Dunn referred to that when a number of members asked, pleaded, for a resolution to the mess on here today, mostly caused by Swampgas once again. Byron said he changed it once before because of those problems and wasn't willing to do it again. You can check back on his post of several months ago for verification of what I just stated.
    I don't have a response to your most recent post, some people prefer, as well as expect some sense on anonymity (much like you do Sally), unless they choose to personally disclose information about themselves. Simply due to the obvious fact you are upset, you willingly again, attempt to seek your "revenge" in the most futile of ways.

    You know sweatheart just because I mention anonymity does not mean I was referring to myself. It's the fact is he mentioned (what I assume to be) an administrator and or owner of the site's full name. Now, as previously mentioned, I have been here on and off since 09 sometimes just lurking and reading, other times obviously vocal but I have never once known that man's full name. Outside of yours I cant say I know anyone's full name.

    I don't even know why I am trying to rationalize this with you, you're a dumbass. I'm through going back and fourth with an idiot.
