"I'm also not interested in dealing with the neocon idiots and the hatrid they've displayed during this campaign."
Hey Andy, plenty of folks from both sides of the aisle got the boot, and there are plenty of idiot neodems in the tavern as well.
I'll venture a wild guess that is just this type of commentary and attitude that got more than a few the boot, and took down some good souls with them.
I'm over the fact that my guy didn't win. I witnessed and participated in an amzing process. I am not bitter, nor will I go around publicly deriding those that voted for Obama.
I would really love to see you just get over this thing.
Regards,
Eric

I was especially careful not to be that blunt over there.I repected the wishes of that establishment. I got booted b/c I was reported by one of "your guys" for absolutly nothing. It was a game to them. I've got more then one
"E-MAIL" to prove it. I never showed those emails to Taunton nor mentioned anyones name. Thats not what I'm all about eric. And the post you directed at me when you KNEW I was out was pretty pathetic eric so don't be givin' me your holier then thou tude' dude. At least here I can say what I really think....I think.
And there's nothing for me to get over. My statement was an observation and thats all it was. It had little effect on my every day life but thanks for the psycho analysis.
What I am is a blunt honest person that doesn't have the need to play games as you may be well aware of. Over there I "WAS VERY CAREFUL" to curb my language in spite of what you may think...in fact you can ask several people...Colleen will even tell you...I sent PM's to folks asking them to delete some of what they said so they wouldn't get tossed. Kinda sorry I did that now.
I'm not looking to rumble with anyone but I'm not gonna be some phoney a-hole that doesn't say what they feel.
Over there was a different story. I really watched myself b/c I knew the magazine had people that were very conservative and it was a business. I respected that to my demise...beleive it or not.
I'm sorry but I'm no Stepford kinda guy. I'm very passionate about all that I do...again...sometimes a bit too much for my own good but I've learned alot over the past buncha years as to how to curb my enthusiasm in public when need be.
anyway........

Andy,
You keep mentioning these people "from my side" that complained and got you kicked out.
That's such a load of crap Andy and if you honestly believe that you must be delluded.
And yes, I took a cheap (very) shot at you posting when you where gone. I admit it and I own it.
And WHO ratted ME out??? Eh? See, "dose guise from da udda side are at it again"!!
I will not try tell you that you got yourself kicked out, that is something you will accept or not. BT neither has to justify it's reasons to you or anyone, nor does it HAVE to apply the rules even handedly. It's their park, they can do what they want.
I've gotten the boot a couple of times and I knew I had it coming and I took my licks. In fact I thought that they would get me for making that comment to you.
I've said it before; if one is so passionate about their politics, what the hell are you doing arguing with a bunch of dumb carpenters on a contruction forum? There has got to be a better place than that for such impassioned debate, and one that will involve folks of much higher caliber and intellect.
I truly believe that is the jist of the message that BT was trying to get across. Now they can wait as long as they want..........
I've gotten involved in this way more than I intended, and I ain't tryin' to piss you off Andy. Just adding my dumb carpenter 2 cents.
BTW Andy, I've had my moments of frustration with posters on the board, and I have had a fair share of complaints lodged against me. I don't know by whom and I don't care. But you can tell where they originated and as such, I would have bet $100.00 that the mods were leaning left.
So much for our theories on which way BT leans eh?

To steal a line from Animal House (best move ever).
"We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part"

Eric has a point, or made a good one.
Trust me, this was the second time that I got a "set him up, gang up against him, run around in the dark and get him thrown out, then kick him in the nuggers"
The people who do things like that are cowards, and Pu****s.
They come in both flavors.
Glass houses and all...
I dislike anyone who claims to be right leaning as well as left who would do such a cowardly thing.
I understand your anger and forthrightness, but it is misplaced. If nothing else, start a new thread and go for it.
Wanna let loose and have a free for all? Jump in here;

Aint noone over there you're gonna offend. It's pretty much a free for all.

Yep...especially after I read the letter JeanPaul sent David:
"First and foremost though, please inform everyone that the Obama and religion posts have to stop, or the tavern is going to go away.
Thanks, JP"
....especially being it was sent to David.
I'm not looking to get into this any further. It does no one any good..all I DO know are the Emails I received which was proof enough for me who was after me.
I found it pretty childish and petty and led me to understand more then I really wanted to.
There's plenty of Republicans I respect and enjoy talking to.
I know there's aszholes on every side of the fence. I may be a dumb carp but I ain't that dumb.
The guy I'm doing work for now is an incredably great guy. We've had dinners together. He voted McCain...no biggie. I'm glad he voted.
The thing that got to me were the tactics people took to help get me tossed. Didn't seem to matter how careful I really was.
Thing was... I can't even begin to imagine reporting anyone. It's just not in me.
OK...end of story...case closed.

Agreed.
The indiscriminate bannings may have been the product of a mod tantrum, but it appears to be working to Taunton's advantage to turn the undeserving insiders against the aggrieved outsiders and vice-versa.
I've decided i have no interest in being neutered on the new, improved forum where discussing Obama and religion are verboten topics according to Jean Paul's email to Peachfest, but i very much would like to continue knowing all you folks and meeting new ones. If our little community falleth apart from all this finger-pointing, we'll all survive that and go our separate ways. However, less finger-pointing might go a long way toward preserving our community.
There is no individual whose words were so persuasive that they tore the board apart. The only person who could do that is employed by Taunton. The only people who can resist the temptation to commit mass suicide are those who realize they have more in common with each other than the person at the master control board at FHB.
Let us not go post-menopausal.

Well, i do have a pic, but i'm not wearing anything under the bibs because it's was so, so....i mean soooooo hot in the greenhouse and sweat was just running everywhere. I know you're involved in a relationship or i'd send the shot of the bibs anyway, but under the circumstances i know you wouldn't appreciate it if i did and i couldn't bare the thought of your not approving of me.
;^P

Only my Muse knows for sure. <G>
I cut firewood all day so i get popcorn as my reward now with sesame oil, a quarter cup of nutritional yeast, and a sprinkle of dill weed. I float that in a plastic bowl in the hot bathwater with St. Pauli Girl sitting on the tub deck ready to give me CPR if i develop a cramp or something. You can never be too careful in a Kohler soaker tub, even with those chrome handles, if you're as short as i am.

Reply to all;
Ok we're settlin' a little.
No new news from anyone as far as Taunton is concerned.
Thought on Monday something might move somewhere, huh.
Let's start to spread out a little if we're comfy. Start postin' somethin' funner than this.
Looks like 1 auction is starting up.
I'm going to start searching for other auction items or see if we can get Cal to set up an easy donation post.

"but it appears to be working to Taunton's advantage to turn the undeserving insiders against the aggrieved outsiders and vice-versa. "
I'm so glad that you feel comfortable deciding who is deserving and not.
Some might consider what you sugggest to be mere paranoia.
You just don't get it do you Splinty?
It's not up to you to decide who and how. Perhaps if you owned Taunton then it would be. Until that day you are at their mercy.
It's that simple. Period.
