I have never asked for any thread to be shut down. It's not my style. After it was pointed out that some folks were doing quite a bit of reporting of my posts, and Nostatic repeatedly stating that reporting posts is the proper response, I did report 2 posts that were attacks. I have said it before & I'll say it again. I appreciate the playground that Wayne gives us here. It should be obvious that I have fun on PPOT. It seems as though issues arise when a stance is taken that "my position is unquestionable." If you take issue with global warming, you are a knuckle dragging mouth breather because all 6 billion earthlings know it's real, except you. If you take issue with Obama's policies, lack of experience, questionable judgment or anything else, you are an ignorant, racist, neocon.

Folks, the truth is that very little is black or white. Most everything is some shade of grey. To try & prove otherwise will be a rocky road.

Have I criticized some on this board harshly? Absolutely. Have I taken some harsh criticism? Absolutely. The difference is that I never thought it was the moderators' job to save me. As I said earlier, it's not my style. I read about people being proud of using the ignore feature. There are some members whose posts I have no interests in reading. I never felt I needed cyber assistance to accomplish that. I have read that Tennesseans are inbred, ignorant red necks, that New Orleanians are all welfare collecting looters and anybody that disagrees with Algore or Obama wants to flood the planet with melting ice then nuke the whole place. I still manage to sleep fine.

If we can show some maturity here it should make life better for everyone. Don't like something? That's not anybody else's problem. Want to have the software help you ignore it? Great. Want to ignore it on your own? Great. Want to take issue & debate the issue? Great Want to attack the poster 'cause your view of the issue is unassailable and the only legitimate one? Here's where the problem begins. Want to report it to the teacher & try to get them in trouble? It makes you look like a child.

The election, global warming, oil & the economy are hot issues right now. There is no need for anybody to get hurt feelings is there? If somebody burns your house down, that's different. If they think global warming is a fallacy or gospel truth, does it really matter to you. Come on folks, it's the internet. And PPOT is Wayne's half acre of the internet. Personally, I have zero desire to be a pain in Wayne's ass. Can we not just enjoy this for what it is?

They are not in "uniform" but those are the LSU Golden Girls.

Nice post Mule, and I don't pucker up to kiss anyone (on this forum) . Maybe everyone who's getting "bent" should take a few days off. I sense the mod's frustrations, and I'm pretty damn sure that Wayne wouldn't let it "frustrate" him very much before he simply shuts PPOT down, and IMO that would be everyone's loss. I kind of enjoy the "internet sparring" with others and learning different perspectives as I go, but I've got pretty thick skin. I'm not "always" perfect, but I like a sign that hangs in a bar I used to visit: "Be nice or leave"...pretty much says it all imo. Thanks Wayne for providing us this "Internet playground" as a sideline to enjoying our Porsches!!!

Mule's posts used to really get on my nerves, but Mule 2.0 is a constant source of amusement because I didn't know the guy had an actual sense of humor.

I think Mule does speak for a lot of Americans so it is good to have his atavistic viewpoint represented.

Not to mention, this is a great place for news, some of which you won't find elsewhere, and serious humor, eye candy, etc. Again, great place Wayne.

Just goes to show that he knows how to backpedal when called out. He knows right from wrong but chooses to stink it up for everyone.

Ahhh...to be 40 years younger. Still, it's like looking at a nice car...I can admire the beauty without having the desire to possess.

These days? Hell, I was born married with an adult daughter...Those golden girls are young enough to be my granddaughters, and I'm no Ronnie Woods.

Forums don't breed HATE; dictionaries do (too many words).

[bivenator]

kachi, you have posted some incendiary topics as well. mule is showing some maturity, contrition, maybe you could meet him halfway

[cairns]

I can't beleive someone started a post solely to criticize the Mule. A positive contribution that ain't.

FWIW I love the Mule. This is a wonderful board but IMO would be far poorer without him.

His comebacks are usually spot on, he takes the time to post interesting pictures and tidbits and I always sense there's a smile behind the politics- he doesn't take himself too seriously and I don't think he takes the politics all that seriously either.

I wish I could contribute as much to this board and, frankly, can't wait to see Mule 3.0. It reportedly includes naked LSU girls with a scratch and sniff feature.

Last time I check ore and obama didn't post here and are public figures who get what they deserve

Once again, goes right over your heads.

Problem is that you don't speak for everyone and several posts in the thread contradict your opinion.

[trekkor]

I've placed everyone on ignore ( including myself ) SERENITY NOW!!
