Pretty obnoxious. And probably where you earned the neg you got from me. It certainly wasn't this thread.

What, you don’t agree that Nick is a “ kind-hearted softie” ?
I’m actually glad you linked to that thread, and pointed out that particular post. Yes, I admit I went out on a limb with that comment. It was addressed to a forum member here, Nick, who I like very much. He and I are kind of internet buddies, and we’ve often joked back and forth in the forums as well as exchanged PMs. However, I was genuinely surprised (and disappointed) by Nick’s comments in that thread. I wanted to say something that would get Nick’s attention. I realize I put no kind of a “smiley face” along with the question which I addressed to Nick, but in all honesty, it was meant as somewhat of a joke. (Nail me to a cross, but keeping in mind the many posts Nick has made concerning his dogs, I still think it’s funny.) I believe Nick has forgiven me, so I don’t understand why something I addressed to Nick, and to Nick alone, should continue to be an issue for anyone else.
Raydar, if you give negative ratings for every perceived “obnoxious” statement posted in these forums, you must’ve handed out hundreds of them over the years.

Thanks for helping to prove the point I made earlier.
Looks to me like you've got a long and, might I add, tedious history of kwrapping up threads.
If the foo shits, wear it.

I'm sorry man, but those two statements together give me the right to form an opinion of what you meant.

Sure John, but you’re conveniently ignoring the post immediately before my second comment which I was addressing:
| quote | Originally posted by DtheC:
And do you believe that she gave a damn about her unborn child?
Strike one, hanging with these creeps.
Strike two, getting out of the car.
Strike three, trying to subdue a marine who has a knife and is trained to use it.
Or maybe they needed the money for prenatal care?

|
And as I’ve mentioned numerous times now, I was also making reference to the “Rambo” heading of the original news story.

I don’t believe that’s a fair comment. Please read my comments addressed to Gonsai on the previous page.

You rarely miss an opportunity to tell us poor dumb Americans how we're doing it wrong. That, my friend, is a fact based on your posting history. That fact definitely adds a certain slant to your original post, whether you want it to or not.

I take great exception to that. In this thread alone, it’s been discussed how I’ve debated with ex-Brits living in Spain and even with fellow Canadians. Am I supposed to ignore all Americans on the forum because of..... because of what? That would be pretty tough to do considering the vast majority of forum members are American.
John, do you really believe that all I’ve ever done is post how YOU (as one of the “poor dumb Americans”) is “doing it wrong”. If so, how do you explain the following post from This thread:

John, interesting post. Doesn't apply much to the soil in my neck of the woods, but I enjoyed the read.

And to go back a lot farther, how about what I said to Johnny about something he had stated to you in This thread:
| quote | Originally posted by Patrick:
That's a little different than feeling it's necessary to get up from the table if grace is being said. I don't agree with John Stricker too often, but (in the unlikely circumstance!) if you and I were guests at John's for dinner and you got up and left the table while grace was being said, I'd help John kick your ass to the curb. Is it because I share John's religious beliefs? No, I don't. However, I do know a little about showing respect. Pulling a stunt like you suggested you'd do would be a real slap in the face of your host. A total lack of respect.
|

Apologies to Johnny for dredging this up, but I wanted to demonstrate that a person’s nationality has nothing to do with any “slant” that I might add to my posts.
| quote | Originally posted by jstricker:
To be frank, I personally think a lot of what you've written since has been a load of BS...
But whatever, that's your choice, you've attempted to explain what you meant and I take you at your word.
|
|
Well, it would seem to me as though it would have to be one or the other.

Patrick, you and I have debated often. Be honest, when I post something, do you or do you not have a pre-conceived notion of my political stand?
|
|
John, I’m aware of your political and religious leanings. However, I don’t pre-judge you to any great degree every time I read one of your posts. I hate to shock you, but I actually respect what you have to say. Knowing what your stand has been on certain issues in the past may help explain why you post what you do, but honestly, it doesn’t preclude me from appreciating what you currently post in this forum.

Cliff, are you referring to this post?

That's potentially one of the flaws in the rating system in this forum. Rock the boat enough, even in a completely civil manner, and conceivably you could lose the opportunity to post and voice an opinion here.

I was suggesting that voicing a minority opinion here and being negatively rated was “potentially one of the flaws in the rating system, and conceivably you could lose the opportunity to post and voice an opinion here”. (Please note the words in italics.) Do you regard that as me “attacking the rating system”? If so, I’m sorry you feel that way.

If most people disagree and only a few agree, then you are still right but people are ganging up on you and there are only a few sane people. Right? Rrrrrright.

Cliff, get with the program. Don’t you rock the boat now. You should’ve closed with -
“If most people disagree and only a few agree, then you are still left but people are ganging up on you and there are only a few sane people. Left? Lllllleft.”

You can’t explain your own actions, yet I’m the “psycho” ?
