I hope beginning Sunday, you all stop blaming me for the problems you are having relating to each other on this board. And I hope the uncivil language disappears from the screens. You guys created this environment, and I'm the one blamed for the hurt feelings and insults. Remember, I'm the guy who tried every means under the sun short of banning you all, to create a platform for discussion. One hint I might add openly You should not depend so much on biased cut and pasted opinions from others as the sole basis of your argument. If you cannot string together the sentences needed to put in plain English why you believe as you do, and why another should agree with you, then expect to be disappointed when nobody does.

Pat I have stopped insulting people before. Once for almost a month. It had no effect on the other side. The insults kept coming, if anything more than ever. It was even stated that it was a insult to them that I was even permitted to post on the board. But I will try again. However, if after a suitable amount of time has gone by and there is no letup from the other side then I see no reason for me to restrain myself. As to not posting cut and paste, I do not see the reason for you objection. Some people express them selves very well with words. Others with numbers and equations. If a article expresses my opinion and does it in a way which is better than what I can do then why should I try to express it using words which do not express the opinion as well as the article? Keep in mind that the other side will demand proof of what you write. That puts you right back to the article which you could have started with in the first place. |

Pat, To many thin skinned people that see disagreement as insult and way to much cut and paste rather than individual thinking.

But do you understand my points? Just saying another is an idiot because you disagree with their premise is not a reason to accept your's. But by putting down why you believe as you do and why their objection is unfounded, we then have a discussion where all can chime in. Could you imagine sitting in a college class and telling the prof they are full of sh** how far that would get you? How many would accept your logic and reason? Think about it. |

Yes i realize you are focused on what you see as a problem with law enforcement. Did I ever tell you you were bast sh** crazy for holding your views? When i addressed your posts i did so using numbers I had sourced. And i didn't use the numbers until several sources were telling me the same information. That is having a back and forth discussion. forcing one's views is not a discussion in my opinion. It's bullying. |

Good point. I don't think members should feel attacked and a need to strike back, just because another doesn't agree with them.Let me put it this way, why would I care if you or another agree with my position, so long as I'm sincere in my belief? Maybe the person is not sold themselves or confident in their position and resorts to attacking when somebody disagrees? |

I agree with that Pat, you do realize that his post was not a difference of opinion but an attack don't you? BTW - Do YouTube videos count as cut and paste? |
