    I'm sorry that you're overly sensitive.

    You know what I find ironic about this? Only people that need rules need rule changes. Rules are generally the same on most of the boards I have posted on. I just use common sense, even when I go ballistic. I EXPECT to hear about it one way or the other.

    I have to agree with FJ on this one (damn that hurts). We ARE adults here. If someone here agrees with me about everything, I want to know who you are and how much you cost. If anyone wants turmoil, more than one of us can link you to a few other boards. We all for the most part just learn how to talk to each other, or not.

    And I don't know the circumstances behind any of this. I'm responding to the topic. It's a double-edged sword. I say what I want -- you don't get to say what you want. It's a neverending battle. Starts with our President and works its way down.

    I doubt Jim changed any rules just for you. My best guess is he read the opinions and made his own decision.

    Who's crying? Whining knuckleheads have been further identified. Great job of not posting examples though.

    A good rule for you, fj. Don't post as a racist does. It will make you a better person. Your life will be fuller and more enjoyable.
    Wise words.

    And don't post like those who disagree.

    Well, I can 'post' one.

    Or, to put it another way, FJ, I can leave YOU to post 'one'. In fact, you keep on doing it, post after post ...

    Take a look at the identifier you post. It says 'fj1200', doesn't it ?

    OK. Now, look at the single word that appears directly beneath 'fj1200'. What does it say ?

    Hint: previously, it said 'Ultimate Thatcherite', and later, 'The One True Thatcherite'.

    I take it my point is made.

    Can I put in a request here for further forum tweaking?

    I would like to be notified if and when someone responds to one of my posts. It's just a setting, no doubt. Much appreciated. (lol)
