I for one welcome our new moderator overlords ...

Yawn, If you don't care for him, stay away from him on the board. Webby gave you the ignore button. Use it. It's that simple.

Treating people respectfully on here isn't that difficult, and a great deal of the time, even the biggest assholes on the board mellow when you don't give them any reason to come at you with their fangs showing.

Post to your heart's content. Express your opinions. People expressing themselves are what makes the board interesting and vibrant.

It's not that difficult to express yourself without being nasty or having to make every disagreement into an insult-fest. You should try it. Let whatever perceived slights that bring out posts like your one before the last one roll off your back. In return, the way people perceive you might change. Seriously.

 

Well Ragu and Wingman are still here, as is PDB and JDV and IJAG, all of whom are conservative. The only party I've ever registered with is the Republican party, and the only candidate I ever gave money to is Republican (local level, I had become friends with the guy and it was a county-wide office of no consequence really) who doesn't exactly warm up to a lot of Dems, but am just repulsed by what Bush/Cheney have done. And even on issues where I'm conservative they go and take the opposite stand with it. So it's not like I'm a far-left guy, I'm just fed up with the BS. And I wish the commies running my county would get off everyone's backs and stop being a bunch of fucking nannies.
