Speaking of him, I watched a movie one time where he was a simple-minded gardner. It was very clever and enjoyable.

Y'all need to quit that passive aggressive flirting in this thread.

How lame is someone's life to talk shit about someone who has really not been around long enough to have 3 grandkids born?

Why do you think I always come back to Jim's board? I know the people here. And you weren't around when Jim, DMP and I have gotten into some drop down, drag out fights. Long as you aren't acting like a d*ick, which I was, you get to say what you want. Me, a bottle of Jack and a message board are NOT a good combination.

I stayed away from boards for several years. And the crap I learned that was going on behind my and everyone else's back startled me once I started posting again. I had no idea. I've always been up front, and on the board. If you find a board more tolerant than this one, fill us in.

Aww, you were always nice. In your own way.

As for that other board, after Jim sold, it needed the strong hand of a Marine so it wouldn't implode.

I definitely have to agree with that last sentence .. it's amazing to realise what can be tolerated here.

Still, since it's an American forum, it has a definite advantage - that of not being subject to laws which it could otherwise fall foul of. I happen to agree with the principle that 'with freedom comes responsibility', since it makes not the slightest sense to argue otherwise (.. sez me, anyway). But in the UK, we have laws which are framed to make people legally accountable for what they'd say. On the Muslim issue, for example, could a British forum survive some of the expressiveness I've seen here ? I definitely have my doubts on that score !

Then he left and it did.

Point is. as far s boards go, Jim runs this one. He gives a lot of leeway and lets a lot of people come back so long as they behave. Might ne one of the smaller boards but I know from running a larger one. bigger isn't always better. And you have to look at Jim's goal. Took me a long time to figure it out. This is a place for his friends. I spent years going for post count but none of those people were my friends. I always get to come back here and I just get treated like the black sheep in the family.

Maybe you can't express yourself in Britain the way you can here, And maybe we don't always understand you and vice-versa. You're still stuck with us. Just get over it. You're part of the family. Just roll with it.
