This has already been answered by many since you asked, but since you posted it directly to me I will answer again... No one is asking you to change your opinion on an issue. Just don't be a jack@$$ when putting that opinion out. Most people will discount anything you have to say if you start out by being a jerk. Name calling and abusive behaviour is not a normally acceptable social behaviour. Why should it be accepted here? Tyteheads answer was right on... Would you say that to your, mom? If you would, you have bigger issues than we can address here. This is a very general statement.. But it seems that the current 'young generation' thinks that name calling and disprectful behaviour somehow makes them cool. All it does is make them annoying.

Bottom line is, if you want to be a respected part of this forum, be respectful to other members. It comes straight from the Bible (and I realize that is enough reason for some of you not to do it), "If you want a friend, show yourself friendly". By all means, hang onto your opinions but even when disagreeing with someone, still show them respect and realize that they have the right to feel how they do too.... And that means without you and your buddies being disrespectful and calling them names.

No... He got in trouble for calling all of us on the West Coast 'rich pricks' . He did that because we didn't agree with his bashing of WCF. I don't think anyone cares if he likes skitime's car or not.. Or even WCF for that matter... But name calling and abusive behaviour is what gets people negatives, plain and simple. No amount of saying otherwise is going to change it.

I also have him as a neutral because of better behaviour lately.

I don't really like to see a contributing member getting relentlessly picked on. Whether one likes the green car and Tarrah's or not, they are Fieros and I like the way you are so involved with your kids. That's the sign of a good father.

I hate to admit that you had a '-' from me, and I can't even remember why, so your '+' from me is definitely overdue.

You seem to be a really great Dad - the world needs more of those.

Hummm yes.... Antagonize... Lets examine the definition of that word.

an·tag·o·nize ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-tg-nz)
tr.v. an·tag·o·nized, an·tag·o·niz·ing, an·tag·o·niz·es
1. To incur the dislike of; provoke hostility or enmity in: antagonized her officemates with her rude behavior.
2. counteract.

en·mi·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nm-t)
n. pl. en·mi·ties
1. Deep-seated, often mutual hatred.

So you want to be an antagonist eh?? OK cool.

The way I see it Bumble Bees have a right to live, they produce honey and polinate flowers and trees. Bees also sting, they protect themselves and their hive.

I'm not the kind of person to swing a stick at a bee hive and then complain when I get the crap stung out of me. It's not the bees fault I was stupid. I don't like them stinging me so I don't provoke them. When I do on rare occasions get stung I don't immidiatly get angry and want to eliminate bees from the planet.

So what is 84Bill getting at?

RESPECT

If you antagonize a bee that is going about it's business, don't get all surprised and bent out of shape when you get stung.
If you expect me to believe you were an innocent victim of a random plot by rogue bees to sting humanity "for no apparent reason" when in reality you took a poke at it.... Well... cry to mommy not the forum because I don't want to hear it.

If you have one ounce of respect for the guys on this stupid hit list you will see they are ordinary guy just like most people with the acception they are not afraid to sting the crap out of people who screw with them. So they don't like to be messed with...Big deal.. I can say the same for their victims.. God knows how much they cry foul. Poor things... whacked a bee hive and got stung all to hell and back.

I have a better idea.. dont **** with the BEES!

The only thing I can figure is that I must have rated the wrong person (clicked on the post above or below the one I was intending to rate) in a thread or something - I was honestly surprised to see a '-' come up when I went to change you from 'neutral' to '+'.

Not raising kids with my sense of taste, but a good parent you are. You've had a + from me .. dun remember when I gave it to ya though.
