Perhaps you should be the one to go back and re-read what you said. I wasnt the only one suggesting perhaps you went a bit overboard putting it mildly.
You owe ed burke and apology and a proper welcome. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 06:32:51 PM EDT [ Parent ]
and freedom of speech is everyone's business. and I have not at all been rude, you are the one who has been rude and completely out of check. perhaps that's where your signature truly came from.
and no, ed burke is not in need of my defense but I must say your response to him was completely out of order and since it was on a public board I had and have every right to respond. and will continue to do so. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 06:57:59 PM EDT [ Parent ]
second, your rude and bully-ish to that poster reeked of intimidation tactics. it was rude and out of check. you are out of check for being rude and intimidating towards someone asking a valid question, not for exercising your freedom of speech. I haven't levelled any nasty comments at you however if you'd like I can start now and we can take it off this board.
and no one is crucifying you for standing with TO, no one is crucifying you period. however, when valid questions are dismissed and chastized then it reeks of bush administration tactics and it does not belong on this board or anywhere else.
freedom of speech is just that, unless the response is initmidation.
finally, I have been a long time lurker on this board and have consistantly watched you bully people versus foster constructive debate. I will not allow you, and your sarcasm to bully me.
If you want we can take this outside but you still owe ed burke and many many others on this board an apology. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 07:43:07 PM EDT [ Parent ]
So what is your freak out? Lurrrrrrrrrking in the dark around this board waiting for the opportunity to challenge me. Is that what gets you off? Please, greater than you have tried and I still stand firm on what I perceive to be truth and recommend you do the same. Of course you can always resort to getting your boxing gloves out and swinging in thin air.

no, and I feel you are a bully because of the way you speak and treat people on this board, not because of your opinion. again, this is about fostering constructive debate. not you standing upon your internet bully pulpit.
and you seem to be the one freaking out because someone has challenged YOU this time and you cant handle it.
and this wish is not a physical threat by any means, when I say take this off this board it means a private conversation via EMAIL.
to gain the respect of others you must treat them with the same respect. I have yet to see others with an opinion differing from yours be treated by respect by you.
reflect upon your actions and your statements. you are such a long time poster that you should have minions coming to your defense but you don't seem to...why is that??? by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 08:11:45 PM EDT [ Parent ]
Out my mind, I've been told that before by those who differ and they're entitled to their opinions. My husband and children have said such things, so if it's no biggy with me to have such comments made by those whom I love and who love me, surely, it doesn't matter to me one iota what you think or say. I'm not hear to make friends although I've made many on this forum, but rather to speak my mind and what I perceive as truth. Agree or disagree, that's up to you.
Those who matter think I'm on point and they're the only ones I concern myself with, nobody else. The semantics don't mean much to me either soon everybody in America will be speaking Spanish anyway. English is a bastard language, grafted into existence from ancient tongues. It's taken you all forever to get this far. So, I don't trip on that. Oh, you wish to fight with me, don't you have anything else better to do? Do you really think I'd give you my email address? That previlege is only for friends and kindred spirits. You don't meet that criteria.

a poster asked, because of the vague explaination TO gave it's readers...
1. Exactly what kind of sources are you guys working with?
2. Why are you "partially" apologizing. Do you expect to vindicated...or do you have no idea and will figure it out when everyone else does?
two very valid questions, both of which I would like to know the answer to.
you responded:
do you support TO? If the response is satisfactory to TO supporters who pay the bills then I think it should be ok with you
first, you dont speak for all truth out supporters and second everyone should think for themselves.
you then asked:
Have you questioned George W. Bush about his sources that fed the WMD lies or 911 sources who warned this administration before 3,000 innocent people were killed?
again, reeks fully of bush administration tactics in the reverse.
you then threw out:
What investigative credentials do you hold, that warrant you to ask such questions?
insinuating the reader has no right to ask such questions.
your truth??? there is no truth in your thought, just lemming like behavior for acceptance on this board. seek the truth, dont just lap up what you are told.
and by the way, EVERYONE deserves to be respected, whether you deem them "important" to you or not. are waiters important to you, do you treat them with respect? what about gas station attendants? anyone who comes here unless spewing venom deserves respect, period. your attitude towards treating people with respect disgusts me.
and finally the "priviledge" of your email address?? see my last post regarding your narcissism. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 09:28:32 PM EDT [ Parent ]
My daughter is working her way through college as a server. My son, who is now a regional manager for a national resturant chain started out as a server and worked his way up through the ranks, I always tip above the going rate for gratuity. There are no more gas station attendants what country are you living in? You call it narcissism I say it's my choice to choose who I associate with.
You whine like the neocons because I don't view issues your way or according to what you dictate as correct. Who are you to think that you have the right to dictate how I'm supposed to think or respond? If you are any indication of what the Liberals have to offer, then you all are in trouble come 11/06 and 08.

check yourself emah1, welcome the debate, seek the truth, and don't bully people who dont agree with you. again, you owe ed an apology... by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 09:54:17 PM EDT [ Parent ]
which was my very point at the beginning of this. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 10:09:00 PM EDT [ Parent ]
let peace begin with me?
goodnight. by yourguide on Sat May 20th, 2006 at 10:25:46 PM EDT [ Parent ]
