Seems to be a few conflicts on the channel lately or I just noticed a few.

Try getting banned from this site because your opinion (on a topic of which I am an expert in) differed from that of another member.

Yeah, I'm still here but not under my original username (obviously).

Conflicts and hurt feelings are normal now and then. It happens. I've been the cause of a few of them because I wrote before I thought about things or responded in a crass way. I've gotten better and after reflection, I was guilty each time of being an instigator and should have been kicked off the site. I did get a few strikes (well deserved) but I try not to blow up over stuff without thinking about it. Mostly, I try not to be an ass and it's been working.
This is a great site and the Mod's have their hands full with people like me (in the past I hope) and others that just seem to have one mission in life and that's to be miserable and make as many people around them miserable as well.
I'm sure it's stressful as hell to deal with that.
Get a bunch of men together with an issue and you'll have a room full of 5 year olds fighting over a Crayola. (If this sounds like any of you, sorry, but stop eating the red ones).
End this with thanking the mods and the members. I enjoy the site and when I spent the better part of 2 years in hospitals, it was a lifeline for me to read, laugh, learn and thoroughly enjoy.
Thanks

Humans are good at believing their opinions are scripture and others should yield to it. I agree with you. Thanks for posting and thanks to the staff that manage this site

Now Terry. You are a very good man and I doubt you would say a bad word about anyone. One of the coolest things was you coming by and seeing me in the Hospital. I'll never forget that.
Thank you

Ahem....

....you just haven't been in our work van with us while we are doing the road and pavement condition surveys here in Rhode Island. What with trying to work the streets in downtown Providence and on the perimeter of the downtown part, you would have heard me say LOTS of bad words about the drivers here.

As for visiting you in the hospital, meeting you and your lovely wife (and later meeting others in your family) was a distinct blessing.

We do need to stick together. We already have respect for the second amendment we can use as the glue . I'm sure we all like low taxes and secure borders too...we have plenty of ways to come together on this forum despite the few wedge issues that get debated from time to time (mostly social issues).

Me too. I figured Hunter S. Thompson was a bit much so I changed to Steelfingers.

Thank you Terry. Thank you very much. It meant a lot to me.

Some can't handle the fact that other people have differing opinions and it seems they can't talk about it.
i wonder how they get through the day.
maybe they don't converse with others?

One thing about it, if I make a contrary retort, odds are I’m wrong

It always helps to have a common enemy.

When news comes in about bodies of young girls found on a repeat offender's property, we can all agree on appropriate punishment (and/or prevention) and express the necessary incredulity against how our justice system's leniency is at fault.

I moved to OK to maximize my freedoms and that of my family, and appreciate that most here couldn't dream of it being another way.

Anyone who takes the internet personally shouldn't use the internet ... that's my opinion
