Ah, Áine, you've got it right, 'twas meant to be a tongue-in-cheek bit of sarcasm.

Richard, I am sorry to hear about your wife, but it is nice to see you on here and Áine is correct in saying I am a staunch supporter of Mudder's right to be free wiht their mouths, other than GG, who, IMO, should really follow the advice above.

As for anyone getting up my nose, well....that is NOT the preferred orifice, but yes, I've had my back up a wee. The labourious and unending back and forth on thread content and certain peoples' obvious displeasure at my being here and being vocal has pissed me off to the point I am thinking of usurping the Curmudgeon for the Day title, for the whole next year.

I have come here and been myself, which is the only way I know to be. I won't say I am sorry about that. I followed-the-leader, when I came here a year ago, and played nice, before sticking my neck out and letting some of my views and personal experiences be known. Based on the positive reactions to that, I continued. Now people are pissed off about religion and philsophy being here, amongst the music, and I do NOT want THIS thread to turn into one more endless bunch of crap about to BS or not to BS, so I'll just say that I am pissed off, too.

I wouldn't stop unless the whole lot told me I wasn't wanted and to fuck off, so you're all stuck with me anyway. Too bad, huh, Gargoyle? Just can't get rid of me.

Maybe I should have named this the Rant & Rave thread, but I really do seriously think some people should really think before they post some of the things they do.

Thanks for listening and frankly, I don't care how they did it way back when. This is now and nobody will stop anyone from going Back to the Future of Threads for some good ole' reads.
