What kind of an ass would criticize you for posting?

Screw them.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Well again I have issue with that post- I am addressing you and what you have said. If you care to have a rational debate with someone you should try and keep it clear who has said what.

Address me and what I say, and Tonk and what he says and try to keep those issues separate. It is difficult to debate when someone tries to introduce smoke and mirrors to cloud the issues. I find people usually try this technique when they are in a debate death spiral.

Now, if I weren't such a lady, and if this weren't a friendly debate- I would know to go in for the "jugular".

But we are all Friends here, right?

"Don't be so thin skinned." This is exactly what I posted on another thread not five minutes ago.

Actually, the following is the full context of my post, of which I'm sure you did not exactly post.

My Post #620:So, upset a few Freepers and keep doing what you've been doing. Your an asset to the site. Don't be so thin skinned.

Don't cite me out of context.

I guess Conservative til I die ran out of stamina.

[Blue Scourge]

....okay Tonk...what did I miss? btw, I'm getting married to my girl.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I'm getting married to my girl."

Congratulations!

It's under control.
And off to the wild blue yonder soon!

[Blue Scourge]

Indeed, I leave on the 24th of November, my soon to be wife leaves on October 12th.....it's very exciting.....It's going to be rought being away from her after just getting married...but she's worth anything I have to go through to be with her....

I'm sorry you are upset but do you think that being a Vietnam vet means that your posts carry more weight?

This is a message board on the Internet. I wish it did but I don't think it shapes the shapes the programming policies of Fox News or even the discredited Rush Limbaugh.

Please continue to post at a high volume but I really don't think vanity threads like this one are in any way helpful.

[roaddog727]

Keep on Postin' Bump.

"This is a message board on the Internet. I wish it did but I don't think it shapes the shapes the programming policies of Fox News or even the discredited Rush Limbaugh."

IT does make an impact on what the media covers.

I've proved it and many others proved it.

The BEST example is Buckhead.

PS What is your source for "discredited Rush Limbaugh" ?

"I'm sorry you are upset but do you think that being a Vietnam vet means that your posts carry more weight?"

I NEVER said my posts carry more weight.

I just said my freedom of speech should not be suppressed.

[processing please hold]

Vets have earned the right to post whatever and when ever they want. Today, Kerrys people told the swiftboat vets to shut up. Damn, that sounds like Kerry people to me.

[Redcoat LI]

Right on.

I ran into the exact same situation on an earlier thread today.

The way I see it, you post a thread, you throw it open to the membership.

If people agree fine,if they diasgree,fine,if they want to post a picture,or some links,they can.

I wish people would stop being so pissy about their threads.

I've posted a couple that ran to 5-600 responses,I don't care what people put on there, I'm just glad I can contribute to the debate.

[DocRock]

Well, well well. I turn my back for a few weeks to face Charley, Frances and Jeanne and when I get back, I find this thread.

Tonk, my dad always told me to put things in perspective, ask yourself two questions about a situation. 1. Can you still satisfy your woman. 2. Will it matter in 20 years.

I can't answer number 1 for you, but I'm sure this complaint to the admin mod won't matter in 20 years, so, keep on posting!

I live in Florida where just a few votes made the difference between having Gore for President and who knows if the info in your post could affect the election. With this twisted logic, you MUST keep posting as if you don't, it may matter in 20 years!

(I hope this made you laugh!)

"I just said my freedom of speech should not be suppressed."

I agree with you but I think the fact you served in Vietnam is irrelevant.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I agree with you but I think the fact you served in Vietnam is irrelevant."

Kerry MADE it relevant.

I was there Oct'68-Apr'69

He was there Dec'68-Mar'69

I'm one of the ones he accused of being a war criminal.

Understand now why I will do whatever I can LEGALLY do to keep him out of the White House.

In the Thur night debate he said he "did the right thing" in 1971

I get 8.5 browser pages full. Posting the same information ad nauseum is wasteful and could be construed as somewhat inconsiderate to those who have lower speed connections.

I too applaude your enthusiasm and don't wish to diminish it. I only request that you consider being a bit more selective in posting this information by restraining yourself to a lesser number of postings of the same information, please.

At the risk of being redundant, I am not suggesting or requesting that you stop posting. I am only requesting that you consider posting the same information you are posting a lesser number of times in order to take into consideration those Freepers with lower bandwidth access.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Guess you missed where everyone else was telling to doing what I am doing.

Well actually about 98% plus did.

It's all over Nov 2
