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

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 !
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!
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.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
got this on order. based on a true story. I haven't seen this one in years
