I agree the Mods do a great job.

I agree..and I also agree it is fair to respond to the Ho-Hum comment...cuz, the ho-hum comment was its own little "personal zing"...
Do you not see this Tappy?

Ho hum might not have been the best thing i could have posted,agreed.But don't you see how you make personal comments to people in your arguements?Personal digs,insults?It's ok,i'm a big boy and i'm not pissed or have any bad feelings.

And really - I dont find Ho Hum THAT offensive

Naw, didn't see anything I'd call 'mean' really... everything seemed to perking along, business as usual...

I wasn't referring to this thread alone....I did say 'on the board' which encompasses all the threads. And I'm not the only one whose noticed, but perhaps the only one whose said anything out loud.

By the way - is your sarcastic comment about her working on cold fusion any more "bent out of shape," "completely out of scale," or "spilling over from another thread" than anything I said?

but these kinds of comments altogether just proved my point.

exactly...it was not personal

Lot you guys know. RHG actually is working on cold fusion. She has covert status and is really a brunette. She works exclusively from a special, low tech all green Commodore 64. I can't really say anymore...

Yep its a free country. Everyone has a right to participate in any thread in any way they see fit (until they are moderated or banned.) But sometimes I'll see a post and think...

Why?

I think it's wrong to have released this post thus revealing a covert agent's identity; it should have been destroyed a long time ago.

I try to attack ideas, not people. I'm not perfect (see above), but its what I try to do.

I only did it to further my own political agenda. Everyone sees her driving to work, how covert is that? The evidence was destroyed because a Commodore 64 can only hold a single Clay Aiken screen saver before crashing.
