We have here some of the finest people I have ever been privileged to know. Some of us have known each other literally for decades. Think about that. Think about what we have seen together in those years; and through it all we have remained friends. We have seen families bloom. We have seen friends pass. And yet, we have endured.
By sheer statistical probability, it was inevitable that we should some day encounter a topic that would be deeply divisive. I believe such a topic confronts our little forum. I won't speak to it, because I don't want my words mistaken as advocacy on one side or the other, but I will say this:
I don't wield my mod powers because I don't tell people what to think or do, and I'm not about to start. I expect debate, even rancorous debate, but I ask - I plead - that everyone give wider consideration to whom they are addressing. We're practically family here. It's fine to disagree, maybe even blessed that we disagree from time to time, but please remember that we are good people here (the bad people never last for very long).
Please consider the overall person you are addressing. Again, I have no intention of employing my mod powers, I simply make an honest request in the hope that my time here has earned me a modicum of respect to make this request.
You're all like family and I love you ****ing retards.

I don't know/understand what would prompted such a post.
Did check my "start" date - 2008.
Yes SSG it has been some years.

ok

Edit: found it (I think)

Well, for the record, I consider being a "****ing retard" one of the highest accolades I could achieve.
Right next to "dump monkey." :-)

If the topic is what I think it is, I have been trying to tread lightly. I also don't go personal on members of any forum I frequent, for anything that's worth. As Mods elsewhere used to remind the forum, if you must attack, attack ideas, not the people who posted them.
If it's a topic I haven't noticed, sometimes I'm skillfully clue-free. :-)

I’m clueless, per usual, but I don’t attack people. I have disagreements with ideas, but I don’t blame the person for being wrong. It happens. :-)

I am "clueless, per usual" as well ...
But deep down in my evil little heart, I do indeed blame the person for being wrong ...
Simply because I am NEVER wrong! I am always right!!! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
But I don't think I have attacked anyone in here, have I?
Besides, when is my DECODER RING expected to arrive, huh? When? When? :-)

The Vast Right Wing ConspiracyTM controls the mail service. Every time you ask about it, adds a week to the transit time.

If it's what I'm pretty sure it is, nobody is changing anyone elses mind on the issue, and time will provide the pudding containing the proof for all, one way or the other.

I don't know what the topic is. I can't think of anything intrinsically divisive lately, among the right. Anyway, not a biggie about being proportionately polite-ish.

Hmmm ...
As one of the most deplorable members of the VRWC, I was not made aware of this fact. I shall bring up this matter at our next meeting this coming Friday. :-)

I'm with you Drafe, I have no idea of what the topic is about, or to whom it concerns ...
But then again, I don't read every topic in here.

That makes several of us.
Let the mystery continue . . .

Unless I'm mistaken, it wasn't a topic posted that was at issue, it was in the shoutbox.

Some particular issues have become personal. I find that to be a shame considering how much our shared principles allow us to agree in general.

We’ll never all agree on anything and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s how we grow. I do see folks take some stuff personally sometimes and that bothers me, but people are people. There have been some who left that I wish had stayed but they didn’t. Some have returned to the fold to share their opinions and that’s awesome!
I find a vigorous debate good for the mind and soul and enjoy the differences we have here without fear of being banned.
