Recently I've seen a couple members engaging in name-calling, personally I find it appalling but you haven't said or done anything about it, if this is news-to-you pm me and I'll direct you to the posts in question, if I don't hear anything I'll assume that you have no problem with this type of behavior and all members should be entitled to do the same if they wish.
They guy insulted everyone and somebody called him out on it. Too bad.
Your not 100% innocent yourself. I told you to forget about a thread on the weekend as it was no big deal and you went ahead and provoked a fight anyways. Now I see that you are replying to one member that you started a fight and provoking them in other threads. Then you are insulting me in the breeder question thread of which I replied to today.
Good grief. I always love the part of the forum when somebody asks to get hit in the head with a stick and then complains they got hit in the head with a stick.
you answered my question, you don't care.
:pirate: Ahhh Bernie.... are you Pete's son by chance???
Can't believe I can't remember his handle now, but oh those were the days. I do remember his breeder's name because he mentioned it every other sentence.
I'm pretty sure Woody said good riddance to all that! Yup, those were the days... good changes here imo. Thanks Woody.

I'm not sure how you think that applies. This is Woody's sandbox and he lets us all play in it. His sandbox, his rules.
LOL to trying to make a serious point with a link to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work Woody! :)Quote:

I not infrequently encounter students (and others) who claim "First Amendment!" and "Freedom of Speech" as protection against their supposed right to be all kinds of inflammatory and offensive and not catch flack for it. I have to remind them that (1) all speech has limitations (libel, slander, incitement, oppression, threats, perjury, etc.), that (2) there is a little thing called the "offense principle," which indicates that even offensive speech, if it is not easily avoided or ignored (offensive signage blocking student pathways through campus), can be limited, that (3) while much speech is protected, such protections do not prevent people from responding offensively, or thinking you are an idiot, or calling you one, or calling the police, or ignoring you, and most importantly (4) that the First Amendment concerns the government's suppression of speech, not having another individual respond "hey, that's stupid, shut up" (or "don't do that on my website").
Hehe! A quote on human rights?? This is a privately ran online chat forum, please step away from the keyboard, go play with your dog, have a few shots of some really hard liquor and chill out :)
But seriously, what human right was violated exactly?
Wow this is awesome, I thought this stuff only happened on the 4X4 forums.lol
Every once in awhile I miss the good old days, Uplander, dueling with Betty and I and our band of merry liberals, and the band of those quoting stuff so off topic that I would smile and shake my head. But Woody runs the show (and well I might add and 'we serve at the request of our leader.......or something like that!!!!) Back away from the keyboard and have a great weekend!
Never a dull moment.
I do miss Uplander. I'd like to know Satch is doing ok, and Pete too.
And I desperately want to know if he's supporting Trump, he must be right? And it might have cheered Betty up during her recovery.Quote:
