So, what? Are you and Tony going to create your own secret little sub-basement, open by invitation only, and abandon the Cellar?

Bruce I'm disappointed to see you choosing sides and jumping into the middle of this argument again. Didn't work out last time and doesn't seem to be any more effective this time.

I don't see Bruce as choosing sides, Jinx. To me it looks more like a boxing ref sending folks to their corner.

Isn't that Bruce standing over there with a can of gasoline. Good. I always love a 4th of July party in December.

BTW, isn't this somehow about Congressman? Funny how politicians leave when the riots start.

How am I choosing sides, by telling everyone to stop acting like this is a kindergarten playground, and stop these bullshit personal attacks.

Bullying and deliberately taunting someone is completely unacceptable to me. I don't care who it is, if I see it, I'll speak up. I have that right, just like every other member of this board.

Come on Bruce. Throw the gasoline. Everyone is so hot and bothered over nothing that it will make a spectacular fire.

It's only bullying if you think there is a victim.
It's possible that being a dishonest attention whore is unacceptable to some other members. I think you should afford them the same rights.

remembers to only be honest while attention whoring [being funny!] :P


[serious self says]
......also since I am opening my mouth ....anytime a person is called a name instead of dealing with the issue or addressing the behavior, it is bullying and when someone is being a bully the recipient is a victim . It dosn't matter if the person doing the name calling thinks they deserve derision or not.

in this case the "name" being called is an explanation of the undesireable behavior so i don't know if this is really bullying or not. but what the hell do i care? i can, and frequently do, ignore all posts made by some individuals because let's face it - after a couple of years you already know every single thing some people will ever say in their life.

I neither afford, nor deny, any rights. I can't make anybody do anything, even if I wanted to.
I say what I think, which is my right.

And everyone, everywhere is looking at me. Mee. MEEE!

If I had known how much fun it is to take a giant, steaming shit in the middle of the Cellar, I'd have done it a long time ago!

Oh, wait.. I did do it a long time ago. Tee Hee. Sorry, I'm just sooooooo giddy right now.

I need a cigarette after this! Oops - I did it again! Tee Hee!
Not bad for a half brain-dead dingbat.
