Actually I like Don, I though he had more intelligence than Chris. I understand his stand on guns, and maybe that one issue is clouding his judgement of others here. However it is just one issue, I look forward to reading his opinions on that & others. Thumper on the other hand is one of the levelest heads here.
I like Don as well.

Everybody's allowed at least one quirk, and in Don's case it's guns.

Keep posting, Don!

Oh my, what have we here?

I have never considered it wise to post across threads with jabs aimed at mocking another forum or it's members. The result has often been bad feelings and a loss of goodwill among the folks in both forums. And what point is served? Most of you folks are aware of this experience from the past, I would have thought you would discourage such activities.

Another point to consider...has there been any value you can find in this topic? I appreciate the kind words regarding this little place, but not at the expense of building walls among the members which can only stymie future discussions. Some here need to rethink their participation in this thread, in my opinion.. I know you fellas have more to offer than this.
Thing is, Mike, no mocking jabs were made. Comments made there have been made here and do describe climate change nondiscussion here where alarmists do nothing but call names, insult and attack those who disagree with them. There were some personal attacks there of people here and I defended those here and discouraged such talk--but realize, I do not moderate there, I only do maintanence, that was the agreement.

So all in all this is much ado about nothing, other than an lying effort on thumper's part at, as you say, "building walls among the members which can only stymie future discussions".

I apologize Chris, I was under the assumption from reading the posts in this thread....that some mocking was occurring there. So this is much to do about nothing, as the barb would say.

Fr Mike, I feared this topic would meet with some degree of displeasure from you. For this I apologise to you. I felt it a risk worth taking to apprise our fine members of what was going on with some of our new "cross board" members.

So when are you going to stop making wild accusations you just can't seem to back up, thumper? This effort to rid this forum of views you disagree with, rather than engaging in discussion, is backfiring on you.

More wild accusations.

I see a lot of that attitude here, the attitude found in condescending proclamations that someone has somehow won a fight, somehow proven a point, when in fact no fights are won, no one is winning, nothing ever proven on the internet.

I prefer an attitude that's says we disagree so let's discuss it without being disagreeable.

Chris you have met the enemy and it is YOU who will fight to the death to have the last word. If you can't convince someone you are right, you slip in the latin and quotes of some nefarious has been philosopher babbling about ancient times events that have no relevance today.
