What? The fact that you by all rights should have been banned? Not at all. Just want to remind you that you are probably the very last person on this site that should feel justified in jumping on someone else's "banned wagon."

Oh yeah and by the way, that was an actual terroristic threat that JW has made to Paras!

That's OK, we all know that JW will never be reprimanded!

I'm not jumping on anybody's "banned wagon", JW has done this to each and every person that he has imposed upon that is not a Republican, including myself!

And you and every other Bush-basher has done the same thing to all Republicans--which is fine--so long as the insults are not directed at any person on the site. FYI, Jwhop has been reprimanded in the past. And everyone--Democrat, Republican, anarchist, apolitical, and Moderator--have also been reprimanded and warned in the past. I've even gone so far as to have a mutual friend actually call Jwhop on the phone in his early days. I prefer handling things privately via e-mail, but for some people it just has to be done here in public to be effective. By FBI standards, yes, we do have a few terrorists here, but Jwhop is not one of them. Your insinuation that I play favorites is not helping your case.

I never called JW a terrorist(trying to imply me to something?), I said that JW made a terroristic threat to Paras, talk about legal ramifications!

And if you did reprimanded JW in the past ,then it sure didn't do any good, I know that I've been reprimanded, have I caused any problems since then?

Randall, I'm sorry that you feel so poorly towards me. Can you see no good in my intentions? I have the e-mail addresses of 8 knowflakes, and chat with 4 others elsewhere on the Internet. All reasonably good and decent people, as far as I can tell, and worth being treated respectfully. I won't name names, but I can assure you I'm not the only one who feels GU is hostile, and I'm sorry, but there's no way around the fact that jwhop has bullied the sh*t out of people and hurt their feelings unnecessarily. If my speaking out against what I honestly feel is wrong is a "witch hunt", then witches beware.

...and by the way, where is all this Bush-bashing I keep hearing about? Buried under the overwhelming landslide of Other-than-Bush bashing? 'Cause, honestly, that's what I see the most of.

Now, this post has little to do with the last one. My concerns are civility and respectfulness in our demeanor toward one another -- NOT any political issue. Mmmkay?

Thanks paras for getting it out in the open that there's a whispering campaign going on in the back room here....again. Can't say I'm surprised to see you're part of it and stirring the gossip pot.

Tell me paras, did they anoint you defender of the faith, or did you anoint yourself?

Only 12? I'm getting quite a lot of feedback against you at this time. You're lucky I consider majority rule to be unsavory. I am totally amazed at how the left can say the most vile things about our President and then are the first to complain when their beliefs are challenged. Debate is very much welcomed and even encouraged on this site. Such free expression reflects Linda's ideals. Since GU is a global Forum (and the US at this time is playing such a global role), the debates here will naturally (at least during war time) be political in nature. Some will not like that, and so they should gravitate toward a Forum more amenable to them. On a site which encourages free speech, these types of Topics will naturally be posted. We had them all over the place after 911. GU keeps them contained.

Ozone, to quote one of my idols, Donald Trump, "You need to learn when to keep your mouth shut." Now, as rude as that sounds, all it means is that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.

JW never have I've ever been on this site to go behind your back to anybody or even muti-profile as other characters(like I've seen here a couple of times before) just to tell you how I think! I think I've been up-front with you right from the very begining. The only time that I got to talk to Paras was today via e-mail,was tell him to back off of this subject, because he was only going noware with it anyway!

Hey Ozone, don't even consider changing your party affiliation to Republican. You're far more useful to Republicans just where you are.

Now Ozone, you know full well that I never called you personally, any names, un-American, Communist, Socialist or any other name. That would be against the rules, now wouldn't it? Of course, you could consider the label Democrat an insult and many people would.

You seem to forget the personal time I spent answering your questions about real estate and DRIPs. I wonder why you think I did that, huh Ozone? Spent hours of my time....even found the books I recommended in your nearby library and gave you the contact page not to mention the research to find a useful contact page on DRIP investment.

Never mind Ozone, you know what they say about "good deeds".

Yes, "only" 12. But that doesn't count the innumerable others who I don't have any other contact with than this site, who I've seen abused. And thanks for reminding me about the "containment" idea --which I hadn't forgotten, and which, as I said before, I think is not such a bad idea.

And you keep making this so political, when that is so not the issue. That the subject around which my concerns center is political is incidental. I don't like seeing people called names, end of story. And it really hurts me that you act like jwhop can do no wrong, yet I have "severely tested your limits". I have not insulted anyone. There is a difference between telling someone you think they've done wrong and insulting them, don't you agree? Only pride makes one seem like the other.

And I'm actually quite pleased you're getting so much feedback on me. I take that as a sign that I'm doing something right. High ideals -- like Linda Goodman's -- have never been popular. As you well know.

Paras the anarchist idealist who would enjoy seeing two-thirds of the worlds population perish by starvation, fire, disease or put to death by the swords of madmen. Oh, and the sooner, the better.

Nice going idealist. Just to put your blathering into perspective paras.

Actually, jwhop, you did call Ozone unti-American. To be technically correct, you stated that his thoughts were anti-American drivel. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/000587-4.html It's right there in black and white, a hard fact -- something you are forever asking others for, and now I have obliged you. So you owe Ozone an apology. And many others besides. It doesn't bother me a bit that you're a Republican, nor do any of your beliefs keep me up at night. But the manner in which you present those beliefs has been quite callous, and that I do object to. Can you not simply be nice?

And haven't you found the proper string for us yet??

Here, I'll make it easy on you: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum16/HTML/000603.html

This is Ozone's string, let's not clutter it up, eh?

Paras, some would beg to differ about your insults the past couple of days (albeit indirect, which is borderline allowable).

Thank you again for making my point paras...that I did not call Ozone un-American. I guess I should not presume you would know the difference.

With all due respect, Ozone has said a lot of anti-American comments (IMO). Communist, socialist, and anarchist comments are, if nothing else, anti-American, are they not? America is an established Republic, after all.

Oh, I proved your point, did I, jwhop? Hrmmm, now let me see if I can put this in terms you'll understand: Ummm, no. That is what is referred to in politics-ese as spin.

Paras, are you saying that you didn't say that, that you did say it and have changed your mind, or that you still feel that way? Which is it, he who meets Linda's high ideals?

No, Ozone, I was giving you a quote, which I thought was rude but effective, to point out that sometimes you keep verbally digging yourself deeper into a hole, when you would be better advised to be silent while you are ahead. It doesn't bother me, but it's just some good advice that might make your life smoother around others. Like I said, though, it doesn't affect me either way.
