I am truly sorry that you are being beat up, when you were not the only one interested in getting information out... It seems that we shall forever be saddled with folks, usually newcomers, who don't know the history, and what it takes to get some forward progress when dealing with these dogs.
Hopefully, most folks really understand what this is all about, and you will not be singled out by them... A good scapegoat is always handy to some, right?
I, for one, appreciate the help from not only you, but everyone else, in dealing with this, and count you as a very valued friend!
And, not to bring up a painful subject, but the naysayers probably weren't even around when you went through your ordeal last year!
Clifford

Scott I am a little behind on whats been going on . I have been in the practice pen all weekend .I am with Clifford you did as everyone else did in wanting information . You did not agree or see it the same as others and some you did . I know there are places that will let you speak your mind with out persecution and name calling even if you do not agree .If you can not discuss your feeling and thoughts were you are at with out being beat up then maybe you are not were you need to be . If they do not need you input good or bad were you are at then its not all that it cracked up to be . They are called open forms but that is not always the case . If you option is to agree or get beat up on I will take my beating and move on its great recipe to drive people away if you ask me .That is why I like the way Clifford runs his open forum .You do not have to be a robot and be told what your thoughts should be . You have a friend here as well . I say speak your mind or do not speak at all . If you candy coat and sugar coat your thoughts and feeling and have to agree with everything is it really worth it . Keep your dignity be you !

Scott, I am a proponent of free speech as well. I was raised that way and to my way of thinking its the only way to be. You took a bullet for the ideas that make this country what it is, a place where you have the right to speak your peace even if its not the most popular at the time.
I myself have been where you now are and my head still is raised high as I am sure yours is. One thing about speaking the truth as you see it you sure sleep well at night.
I call you friend as well................

I thank y'all. I wasn't alone. I don't feel like I deserve any recognition for doing what I felt was right. lol. I do regret gettin angry though. I am still eager to see things charge ahead.
Clifford I was joking with you though. lol
Thank you all again. That is very true Clifford.

Now, while I hardly consider that "beat up" I apoligize for getting angry as well Scott.

Ahhhh - relief ! I thought my head was going to explode trying to read between the lines on the other forum.... Scott -- we have your back! Hi, Paul! Kevin -- the old thread you pulled up cracked me up. Then I realized I was just stupid. It's my cross -- I guess I'll have to bear it... |

I think I am going to make a stupid rule, that the only person you can call stupid over here is yourself!
My thought for the day: History that gets unburied (if that's a word) can sure be interesting to look at!
