Okay, you got 25 votes from over 12,000 registered members. Yeah, that's a decisive victory. What does that tell you? That most of the people on this board didn't care enought about this poll to vote.
That is what ratings are all about, Mike. The opinions of a comparitively smallish subsection is extrapolated to loudl declare what the masses are thinking. Of course not everyone votes all the time. But they do not need to in order to get a feeling for the pulse of the public at large.
Even if you are the favorite caller ever, bunny, I don't think that makes you the favorite poster. You are combative and insulting, and you feign astonishment when anyone takes offense at what you say. Suffice it to say that if you find yourself put on extended vacation from the board for your posting habits, I, for one, will nor be surprised.
Just because you are so very familiar with your cronies, and your heart flutters with every word they say, and you cannot bear to accept that yes, there are in fact Other People in the world, who can also say things, and no, not often are they actually "combative" or "insulting". Weird, maybe - different, refreshing, innovative, mellifluous, maybe - but not harmful. Open your mind to Love. Not hate.
I know what will happen now. You will respond to my post, and mangle my board name so that it is appended by an unpronounceable series of vowels.
Let me say: I would normally have the inclination to add two vowels to every name: "i" followed by "e". This is a term of endearment (i.e. Robert becomes Bobbie). I mean no harm, and you probably know this very well, you just want to say it anyway.
You will probably call me mean and say that I am needlessly attacking you and not adding anything to the thread. I, however, will not respond further to your statements in this thread, and you will assume that you have won.
and I won't care.
Now, this is not novel or different, Mike. You have been mean, true, but regarding "attacking" you are wrong, that is not what conversation is all about. And you have already said you will not respond, so I guess I have the soapbox for now. The point is, can We be accepting of other people's viewpoints? Or is Hatred just a big mean monster that is too too much to overcome.
One question Mike, just one: Did anything I say here, or rather everything I have said on this board, cause you to Hate me actually, as one person to another.
