I don't support banning and have never put anyone on ignore.
If I see something that is "drivel" I scroll past it.
sigs and avatars are turned off only becaue they clutter up the screen. I turn them on once in a while to see what people put there or if someone comments about a sig or picture.
I try not to offend and to not be offended.
Your mileage may vary.
It really makes me suspicious when someone tries not to offend people. When a person says he is trying not to offend people, what he really means is that he wants you to feel guilty for offending people and that offends me. I take it personal and believe that he said that because I'm black, which I'm not, but I'm offended because if I was and he knew it, that would be equally offensive and so it is equally offensive to me regardless...
I m not ungrateful for this forum and the outlet that it provides me.
I thank you all, especially those who facilitate this forum.
it is valuable to me.
I would also like to bear my yearly financial burden for sharing in this forum.
if anyone has a PO Box I ll send em my dues and they can forward them to gob , if they would be so kind, I have offered before and have been graciously dissuaded from worrying about it.
thanks for that too.
and thank you for not banning me. I won t let that effect my postings tho. you wouldn t respect anything less, would you?
I ll try not to dismiss you all either.
and in closing...,
fuck off , gob. stick to fucking with rubato if you want to fight. I don t feel like it.
....and I do regret being ignored by some of you....., oh well. many of you have been fairly close minded and seem to be sticking with it.
oh well..., you can learn from me as easily as I have learned from you, if you choose that path.
