I try to be very measured in what I say; not to avoid offending someone, but to avoid being misunderstood.

I joined here in 2008. Post awhile, leave, come back. Lather, rinse, repeat. Why?

I come back to read, post a little and check on some old pals from the old BBS boards. Paul, Jim Taylor, Hobie, Scott T and a few others whose handles have probably changed. Some of us are darn lucky to have made it this long and none of us are getting younger. It's good that we can meet somewhere and right now, this is the stage stop. God bless you guys and keep you.

Frankly these semi-regular lectures on behavior (roughly akin to what you'd you give a bunch of 7 year-olds in a birthday party inflatable jump house) followed by the penance-dancing and grand apology tour, aggravate me far worse than the normal grumping, growling, burping and wind-breaking between men. I can't abide it.

Knowing some of the participants here, I can assure you they are capable of settling any serious difficulties between them. And finally Paul, if you've got trouble-makers and anarchists here, stop *****-footing around and kick their BUTTS to the curb! If includes me, all it takes is a PM. No hard feelings, I get it.

I have no idea what's going on. But I think if you are getting angry on an internet forum, you need to go horse riding. I always liked horses and riding. If a horse doesn't like you he will bite a hole in your jeans. If he ignores you, you can ride him into a tree. If he likes you, you can be proud of both of you. Horses are real.
