The real persecuted minority is the persecuted minority. If you know what I mean.

Friedman summed up persecuted minorities. By the time you have the clout to be a persecuted minority you aren't.

Sure--I hear member Adlai_Steve56 is pink as they come.

We would need some non-anecdotal evidence. Until then, I cannot believe they exist.

Checked into this thread expecting something amazing. I was not disappointed.

That is all.

Edit: found this GIF from A Very Potter Musical, and it's pretty applicable to the OP...

FWIW I hope you come back - maybe a break is all you need(?)
I know I needed one on several occasions after being heavily outnumbered on several topics - you know what I mean.

I do agree with many of your viewpoints, and so do others here. I sincerely hope you reconsider.
I know several TB members that have left permanently that I wish wouldn't have.

I am appalled by some of the posts that have popped up here.

Some from folks that should know better.

The level of negativity and schadefreude. is bad. So is loosing a member with close to a decade of time.

What is scary is that people just like this are walking down the street every day. Right near me.

May I suggest some of you re-read your posting and ask your self, "How would you feel if you children would to have known you wrote something like this".

Wouldn't be a problem if we could just get rid of 'em all.

It has been fun chatting with some of you. However, I find myself in the position of being outranked. I completely understand that there are rules and regulations. I even understand the need for them. However, I believe they were used to enforce something utterly ridiculous in my case. The "infraction" was a harmless sarcastic statement.

Around here, when we disagree with others, or someone is complaining a lot, we throw out terms like "poor wittle baby", "where's yer mama", "delicate flower", and much much worse (and that's to our FRIENDS). These terms are not intended to truly offend, rather make light of the situation and pick on people. They are the every day language of sarcastic, yet friendly people. These kinds of things are not tolerated around here.

I see both sides. My free speech rights vs. their right to police the content of their forum however they see fit. In this case, they run the joint so they win. I'm OK with that.

So, I will take my know-it-all opinions elsewhere.


Carry on.

(Starts stop watch to see how long it is before this disappears)

Another good reason for not having children.

Seriously though, I hear what you are saying. I agree in some ways. I do have a hard time with someone trying to draw attention to themselves in this way. Yes, I know I should have grace for everyone. Thanks for pointing that out.

Funny- that's the same thing I was thinking when I typed it. Every time I see it, in fact. Was that a PeeWee Herman thing?

Innuendo: a brand of Italian suppositories.

That's ironic considering this:

He pasted a big target on himself. It wouldn't be respectful to his memory to leave him - via this thread - untouched by a thorough ribbing for complaining and being a quitter.

Sorry for outranking you.

Excellent point. It appears we are back on game.
