IBV,

C'mon girl, you have on several occasions put your two cents worth out there about Wyatt-can't say-this and Wyatt-don't -say-that and disrespected the posted matereals ( like our actions about Blue Laws, and how outraged it made u).  With that said, I take it you concider Hankey's posts every time all good and proper, eh?  Don't see anyone griping about his racist Obama-hatred, his assaults on just about anyone from the real world outside Anderson or endless other b.s he puts out.  How about Prevail?  How about ...... Yet lets b*tch about Wyatt's in you face attitude.    I want to see across the board parity or this is simply the next Straight Talk in waiting, run by a small group and will remain small in input from outsiders...

As said before, you'd be surprised at whom reads this stuff, and who loves what I write!!!!  I actually write what they WISH they could write without losing their (city/county) jobs.

As an afterthought:  I personally enjoy having a banter and tit-for-tat with another blogger who's actually adamant about their view.  It makes for good reading, and brings out the honesty that lacks so often in this ( and other) blogs.  Even you & I disagree, right?  yet I'll continue to discourse with you on council, traffic, color of the leaves or whatever the topics are.  THATS what a real blog is supposed to be, and if this is going to turn into some Barney Fife outlook, then honestly what fun is that?  Want small talk? Idle chit-chat?  How dull and uninspiring is that?   If I can elecit a reaction, then your brain works to either find agreement or find a debate.   I cannot help it if OCCASIONALLY a bad word comes out.  This is a big kids forum.  I suggest JD and the rest add a disclaimer on the header page;  Warning, there are big kids playing here. Enter and read at your own risk!

Your actions about Blue Laws? Did YOU support keeping them? I hate blue laws and any attempt to legislate morality, so that might have made me mad, but I don't remember being outraged at you about it at all. Are you sure that was me that would be outraged about that? I have a deep dislike for organized religion, but I generally try to tone it down on here.

I used to argue with Hankey all the time (under another screen name), but I decided that was a waste of my time. I'd have more luck with a lamp post. I think I know who she is, and I really don't feel like arguing with her. Also, I can copy in at least two rants I have gone on about prevail. Lately, I've completely ignored him. Ditto with rino. But you have to admit that you too have crossed that line before, as many people, including me, have crossed it. But there is no reason that we can't make one last stab at civility.

We ( angel mainly was the catalyst)  both were the ones who helped ELIMINATE those archaic  religious-based Blue Laws!  Angel raised the issue, gathered the hundreds and hunderds of petition signatures, and stood up time & again in Council to get 'er done ( both times).   M-a-y-b-e  I mistook you for one of the dozens we had issue with about that specific, so excuse my addled mind ( I know you IRL....).  I'd do your initials, but thats a TOS....or is it??? 

Hank has become a severe liability to this blog with his/her stuff.  I hate racists, homophobes( not that I condone them, but DO condone free choice in everything), and his personal issues with bloggers here.  No matter IF you ignore the dork, the rudeness always continues and my posts are blocked.  RINO is verbal and not likely to take this stuff either, and him & Prevail (chuck wilson) had gotten outlandish at times.  BUT those posts were also blocked.  I don't see how this thumbs-deal works anyways. I get intrigued when I see a blocked post and ALWAYS read them anyways.   I try civility, but hey us Yankees have no civility, intelligence, couth or money.  At least thats what Janedope sez ( her literature from her hate website sez so too)  Quote from http://www.freerepublic.com

Yeah I think you have that one wrong because I wish we could rid ourselves of all of those Baptist influences, but I am certain we have argued about other things. ;)

Yeah the thumbs down thing never slows me down. I read every post, even the hidden ones. I actually have never thumbed one down. I've thumbed several up, but almost always in response to an unnecessary low score, but the whole thing seems to be pointless overall.

It is indeed pointless. They always use the wrong finger here!   ( BTW, check your messages, ANGEL sent you one)

I got into a quite heated debate over religion on here recently.....didn't work out well being a jew in a Baptist world!  Nonetheless it's always fun to put it out there that Jesus was actually a Jew, and my religion/God is way-y-y older than this new dealio.  Hear of more pastors, priests, ministers, reverends  and so on getting arrested than I EVER hear of a rabbi getting popped.  Ohhh, I've started it now!

For the love of God, now that you guys are in charge, fix the link under the "Latest Headlines" tab in the right-hand column so it goes to a valid page on the AIM website. Laughing

p.s. "404 - page not found" is NOT a valid page, even if it came from the AIM web server.

I think that the 'thumbs feature' should be disabled since it's real purpose is being ignored and now it only serves as a form of FORUM CENSORSHIP.

I think the thumbs feature is just fine as it is now. You can still bring up a post and read it no matter how many negative "thumbs" it has gotten.

Perhaps you are a little sensitive citizen because you garner so many (well deserved) "thumbs down" and you envy those that get a well deserved "thumbs up"?

Cool  Sorry nomadron .. But I'm not the only one that this form of censorship happens to on this forum.

I know that you probably don't know the difference between subjectivity and objectivity so I won't waste my time discussing that.

When folks give a thumbs down simply because they don't like another poster that is wrong.

Again, if this feature were disabled than it would no longer be 'an ego trip' for certain posters to mis-use and abuse.

No one would miss it .. except for those that currently and constantly abuse it!

You have absolutely no valid reason/s to state that I deserve 'thumbs downs' because there are none.

Just because I may be in the minority of political opinions here is not a reason to not respect my posts.

At least I don't 'masquerade as a turd' in order to get this attention that you suggest I seek.

But you simply just don't get it do you?

Inbreds seldom do ... So `ta`ta to you 'My Friend'.

You... citizen... deserve a thumbs down on those posts where your rudeness and crudeness are so well displayed. The point/political view of your post is not what gets you a thumb down. It is how you say it. Calling other posters "inbred" in the above post is another example of rude and crude. 

If the thumbs thing is an ego trip (as you say), is your ego that fragile that it bothers you? Ignore it! I do!

Rudeness and crudeness, as you put it, is only after I've been called a dumbass and other such things.

I have started topics wherein only a video was posted and it was censored.

I guess a pic of an australian lobster is also rude & crude too and according to your flawed lined of logic it should of also been censored.

Your position to argue this matter is weak and you should admit it instead of perpetrating your half-truths.

I stated that this much abused feature should be removed and that's that!

This discussion is going nowhere. We disagree and neither of us will change our opinions. I am curious as to what you consider "half-truths" in my posts. But I am not curious enough to lengthen this exchange.

Rest assured, I shall continue to give your posts all the consideration they deserve!

Have a good day!
