dreaded guest..freedom of speech means you can say it somewhere, not that you can say anything you please anywhere you please.

Write a book and publish it....start your own web blog....go shout from a soapbox in the park, just don't presume to use what is meant to be a shared forum among friends for your own personal podium. If you were a 'person' who traded songs, recipes, jokes and stories of you kids & cats, and also tossed out opinions on the world sometimes, you would be MUCH more tolerated, even if considered a bit weird for the tenor and breadth of your 'concerns'.

I sometimes host 'open sings' at my house...published in a newsletter, and open to anyone who wants to pop by...and at times we stand around and gossip and chat about the world, too! But if anyone came to those sessions, month after month, wearing a disguise, and did NOTHING but exhort us to pay attention to his latest political theory...and castigated us when we complained....well, I, being the host, would have thrown his butt out.

Max and Joe, being the hosts, have the right to do the same here...it is just more difficult, and THEY are more tolerant than I am.

This is just more wasted effort on my part, as you have shown that you simply do not care! You have an agenda, and you intend to keep being pushy and combative and twisting the arguement to make it sound as though YOU are the one who is being inconvenienced when an occasional excess is deleted or moved!

You don't get it...you don't WANT to get it...you want YOUR way in someone else's house, and that is patently offensive! You mentioned before that you had been banned from other forums in the past...I wonder why.....

I am trying to talk myself into just dropping out of this discussion and allowing Joe and Max, etc to deal with it as they will...maybe I will even succeed. *wry grin*
