In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : Boy, you got that right! Why else would someone come start a thread anouncing his "retirement" from the board unless they happen to be a pathetic attention seeking loser. Babe, you couldn't just step away without a word and be done with it? You just had to take the drama queen route. Then, ofcourse, just because a couple of posters (Laz and Rusty and perhaps a couple of others) basically said, "good riddance",  Ta da!! Back out of your what, 6 hr. retirement.  No, you're not seeking attention at all.  Please!

Babe I don't plan on insulting you, but I guess I'll use up mine now as well-  You are #1 in the #2 business.

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : This is the kind of thing that evokes stern response. My new rule is that other than 3-4 particular individuals I'm going to give a one time mulligan to persons who strike the first blow. ONE. You just had yours.

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : Great work. Now I'll have even the guys who don't hate me punching the free insult ticket and my sig will be 8 pages long!

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. :  Dear Babe / Goldfinger  Thank you for the warning ( I mean this sincerely ) I understand that the old Babe would have been inclined to blindly lash out at me for my earlier post and also likely directed a name or two my way ... but you obviously resisted the urge. Bravo . ( Mea Culpa - There was a time when I use to let people here get me goin' pretty good too and I let my vocabulary run wild ... got banned TWICE . ) I 'd also like to add that I think you miss-read my original sentiments. Long-winded as it may be , I will re-post it for you ( to hopefully re-read and take further positive action ...i.e. - Use Ignore button . (Note : Alleged verbal attack section highlighted in red ) . . . . . Dear Babe / Goldfinger ( see previous BParelli Bio Post )    I believe you started this thread in earnest and at the time of it's initial posting fully intended to retire from further BDC postings.  My guess is you became acutely self aware and probably just realized enough was enough .  I also believe that upon deep reflection you now have an opportunity to realize some greater good for yourself and your fellow posters here ... But it's gonna take some serious self restraint on your part . The question is :  Are you strong enough to do it ?  Or are you actually just a weak minded ,trouble -seekin' blow hard after all ? I don't want to believe it's the latter. The solution is simple. 1) Make a list of the posters / enemies that cause you to blow a gasket ... AND PUT THEM ON IGNORE . 2) Endeaver to refrain from any further name -calling / enemy gathering . In other words ... START FRESH. You seem like a fairly intelligent individual with a respectable modicum of self awareness ... I believe you know this has to be done in order to move forward  , at least on this sight . Please don't continue to insult the rest of us here by spoutin' the condescending and inappropriate line "If I did he might get away with an evil machination ".  We're all big boys here ( and girls ) and we can defend and decide for ourselves .  Finally -  Though I personally don't share all of your beliefs , I do believe you make valuable contributions and more importantly I defend your right to be heard.    I hope that the spirit that initially caused you to start this thread re-appears  , takes hold , and leads you toward the very EZ choice you know deep down you should make ...  TYPE A LIST OF THE POSTERS THAT CAUSE YOU DESCEND INTO THE NETHER REGIONS AND HIT IGNORE . Do this and I believe you may just find BDC peace of mind . I know you'll have my sincere gratitude. ( and I suspect many others here as well ) Capt. F out. IN BB ( & BRADY ) WE TRUST

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : I don't care about insults as you may have gathered. But many have said they prefer a board without that. So, other than the 3-4 persons (actually only 2 are on the active list but the other 2 get it after the first time) I have mentioned I am going to refrain from unkind personal remarks about anybody until they do it a second time and I will notify them of their status before they reach the second. In most cases I have not fired the first insult shot in the past. Then if anybody complains about the tenor of my response it will be TS for them. I do this out of respect for the wishes of those who find that sort of thing diminishes their experience here. But I have a limit obviously. I appreciate your sentiments.

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : "Hate" is kind of a strong word.  Can't say there is anyone on this board I hate.

Two days later and you're still here. Channeling Farve's retirement idea?

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : No, not channeling anything. Just exercising my options. Thank Laz, he convinced me to return. If he had shut up I wouldn't be here. But, that's impossible right? Laz shutting up I mean.
Posted by BabeParilli

In Response to Re: Retiring from the board. : Laz says some interesting things.  What they mean exactly I don't know.
