Not sure there is one. If there is I don't know it.

TW, I sometimes agree with what you post, but you did cross the line on this one.

The exchanges between you and Merc seem to bring out the worst in both of you, but IMO he has not stepped over it as badly as you have.

If you don't want to be labeled a 'wacko' by even more people, I suggest sticking to facts and opinions at based on facts.

On the original topic of the thread:

The Obamas request was reasonable. I would think that the incoming presidential family would fulfill the requirement for 'VIP guest'. Denying the request was either pettiness or incompetence.

Hardly. I have been quite tolerant. And now I am only doing what he has been doing for many months. To discuss his dripping wife is consistent with how he post. Attack the symptom or begin dealing with the problem that started this long ago. Don't post at me. You know who started this. You want it to stop. Then go after the problem and the old tw returns.

My suddenly tone change got your attention. Now, don't deal with what is obvious. Deal with the problem. I have nothing to apologize for. My change of tone now was quite justified long ago. Brianna defined the problem elsewhere using the word "constant". Did you join a rebuttal of the problem or ignore it until I made it impossible to ignore?

Gosh oh golly tw that sounds like a threat.
It's 2 pm on 1-11-09 and if I see one more crack about Merc's wife, you're outta here. That's not a threat, it's a promise.

And nothing I posted was a threat. It was facts - in the same way that TheMercenary posts his facts.

Instead, address the only problem. I will only be outta here because you got silly emotional rather than deal with the problem. Where is that post more than threatening TheMercenary for personal attacks? April and Oynxcougar got banned for much less. Banning only because I finally got your attention? Banning me only because I finally decided to retaliate? How is it that one who has been here longer than you saw no reasons to ban those others or Barak - but see TheMercenary as far more destuctive to the Celar?

Get your head on straight Bruce. I am intentionally testing you to think logically or emotionally – to stop ignoring the problem. Logic, my friend. I am in only one day replying, in kind and fully justified, to months of attacks. I am only the symptom. Can you deal with problem or do you always attack the symptom? Notice how TheMercenary's personal attack posts have only increased in numbers and intensity while you remain silent – encourage it.

No, you get your head on strait. I know what Merc has been doing and I find it damn annoying, I'm sure there are a lot of members that will agree. I also find your repeated diatribe, mental midget/wacko extremists/Rush Limbaugh, just as annoying. But the only way to fix that is censorship and that's even worse.

You, however, have crossed the line by bringing his wife into it, and that's going to stop. Got it?

And that has occurred only in direct response to his replies. I did not start this. But I damn well expect to push the Cellar into a decision. Do we return to the Cellar I have particapted in for 20 years. Or do we condom the Limbaugh style accusations that are routine only from select wacko extemists.

But again, Bruce chooses to challenge the symptom rather than scold the problem. Guess what Bruce. I got your attention. Now start making a decision whether you want to solve the many month problem or attack the one day old symptom. Your every post ignores and therefore encourages the problem. The tone of the Cellar made bad by those who post attacks rather than contribute to knowledge.

All this gets solved simply. You deal with the problem AND you don't see me posting equally in kind. I am the symptom here. So why do I keep posting that same statement? Maybe you keep criticizing the symptom rather than attack the problem. He does this to more than just me. Brianna used the word 'constant' to describe it. Do you also ignore that post or instead deal with the problem. You damn well know I would not be posting this way if the problem did not exist.

Why is this crossing the line? These knuckleheads have been trading insults for so freaking long.... why does this particular insult cross the line?

Now that you bring that up, it is pretty annoying. I'm a tolerant fellow though so I've not said anything up to this point.
