I personally enjoy an amicable and friendly environment both here and in my daily routine...... I don't enjoy argument...... However, I don't believe in shrinking from contoversy when principles are at stake.

What separates me from those who have posted opinions regarding the wholesale cessation of hostilities is this: I always take a stand.... That is unless I believe something is simply none of my effing business... I don't fight another man's fight.

Sure, it's easy to be a pacifist and criticize.... Not simply because you have no opinion... but when you've resolved to "stay out of it" for the sake of precious peace and quiet.... I consider that (struthious) position to be less than valiant.....

While the "peace at all cost" fellow judges another for taking a stand and fighting, they may wish to examine their own position from another simple perspective: Those who don't take a stand... actually may stand for nothing at all.

To be specific, I take a position on issues of principle. (usually)... I endeavor to allow others time to work out their squabbles until I can tolerate no more... Then I step in and attempt to reason with the one that I believe is in the wrong. If (for that) I am branded as a troublemaker..... fine, but I refuse to allow shit to "go down" with inpunity.... that's just how I am.

1fast has made a habit of atagonistic and aggressive behaviour towards many members of this forum... That's the problem I have with him. He seems to attract conflict with his tantrums and inability to "work and play well with others" without it turning into a bloody ugly shit storm.....

I admit, I got pretty personal with the remarks I made to him and for that I'm not really proud of myself... (although it was very liberating to tell him off) But that kinda shit never accomplishes anything or resolves any of the true issues.

As far as I'm concerned the past is past and I hope we can simply say no more of this one. But I will always "call 'em as I see 'em" and voraciously defend that which I consider to be just and right whenever the occasion arises....

If that makes me the unwanted and/or self appointed Sargeant at Arms of this forum...... Someone in charge needs to either tell me to STFU or put a new sign on my office door..........

Cuz as Frank Sinatra once said, "I gotta be me"..........

Thats why I love ya brother,

If ya dont wanna know.....dont ask

I stand behind you and your remarks, I personally dont think recent events would have taken place if certain members would have jsut said "congratulations"

Or ask in a civil manor, "how"

I'll just end it there before I go too far....

Thanks D, you're a helluva guy

Tim,

as always a great post...

Stink,

in reference to your quote above...I have to respectfully disagree...How was asked....How was Pmed....

If ANYONE and NO ONE IN PARTICULAR posts something novel, new, innovative or simply different, the inquiring minds of this board are going to want to know How...

If the How is something that you don't want to answer then pehaps there should be no post in the first place.

You of all people I respect for not simply taking something for face value without the how....

ha....I would pay that.....happily.....:D
 
Since two of my best buds are on this thread together, here is the best place.

I should have stated this earlier in the day, but I have been trying hard not to get into the middlle of any of this, and should watch my wording more carefully in the future, I apologize for that.

I never read a word of what happened, and really dont care to know, I've been there and done it myself so can pretty much figure it out.

I hold not one thing against anyone, just know I dont want to loose a good friend on the forum. And would do it for almost everyone on here, from DJ to Silverback.

I myself didnt believe the numbers at first, and well my lips dont seem to want to cooperate and convey what I feel, except that I'm sure with an answer here or there things may have been different, there is jsut alot of testosterone on here sometimes:D

There is a small group of us that have been here since the beggining, and sooner or later it is inevitable that we will part ways someday, I just would rather it as friends and not as enemies.

You are all my friends, and you can have the shirt off my back anytime:D

I hope this got worded correctly , if not, D you have my permission to correct:D
 
Damn. Had to say that since we are in this forum. Double damn.

Okay, what do I say now. I actually have a bunch to say, but don't know where to start.

So, first off, a reply to Tim. I stated it before, so I will reiterate it again. I supported what you said before, and I still support you.

Mike. I do not really agree with what you did, but I support your right to say it.

Stinker. What can you say about Stinker that has not already been said.;) :D Just screwing with you Tony. I love you, you fricking hillbilly.

I have had the privlidge and honor of meeting both Mike and Tim. Have not had the same opportunity of meeting Tony. Hope to sometime in the near future. Anyway, I love and respect all three of these gentlemen, and would do anything for them.

Oh hell, it's time for another beer, so I have to cut it short.

Take care guys.
 
Thanks to you all......Your fellowship and love means the world to me...........

And Stinker........

I wish I had some idea what yer talking about.... Since it appeared to quote Sicko then can I presume it has something to do with him.....?

I think that being a bit more direct would be sure help me to understand.

I would agree Mike. It's one thing to "quote" someone and change what they wrote. It's something else to revise what someone posts in their original post.
