This is Kal-El. I contemplated whether or not to respond to this or not. My words are often misconstrued so I am not too hopeful that what I am about to say will not be further misconstrued. Maybe this really belongs in the what made me smile today threads. I think we're all misunderstood at times and I'll consider you the wiser man for taking the break I did not. Welcome back.

If intolerance were defined as above, I would have to consider you intolerant. To me you consistantly jump to conclusions which arming yourself with enough information to know. I don't think you are insecure, but you perhaps are pre-conditioned. However, the only test for tolerance, since you are the owner of the forum, is for you to cancel my membership which you have not done. You can consider me any way you want. You haven't a clue who I am...you only see glimpses through words on a discussion forum. That is true for all of us here. You haven't a clue of the combination of information and experiences with which I arm myself in discussions. I assume they are vastly different from yours, because we seem to be miles apart in our thinking processes. You tend to read my posts as being angry and emotive, when those two emotions are not usually behind what I write. I don't know if that's an expectation on your part because I am the site Admin, or if you are tagging me with stereotypical feminine traits. I'm not likely to cancel anyone's membership here, without a consensus from the membership. Nor will I edit or delete posts because I disagree with them. (I'm considering not allowing members to edit/delete posts, too, but I haven't talked to Tod about it---and I would poll the membership first.) Nor will I communicate with you via PM anything I would not say publicly, on the forum. The difference between us is I don't make accusations about your character or motivations for what you write. I make a habit at responding to what you write and the tone used...nothing more.

It is good to keep in mind that your prose are only ever misconstrued by very few individuals among us. I hope you will choose to participate in discussions after a beneficial hiatus. Very much in agreement.

Because your OP was a troll about using medication. This is why the moniker stupid/dumb SOB fits you well. If you don't like the label, stop acting like one.

What if performers had the same drug restrictions as other professions. Would WH be alive. I know there is no way to say, but it make me wonder. If the restrictions for her profession were in place, she would have had a better chance of being alive. We do not tolerate airline pilots to use antidepressants so why tolerate Whitney Houston and the others in her profession by purchasing tickets? I think its because we don't care about them as a person but only about how they entertain us. What does that say about us?

Thanks Herb You are correct not everyone misconstrues what I say. I will take a break, a rest, and come back when I feel more refreshed. Your many usernames reminded me of Mark's gospel, Bill Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" "My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."

We also don't let pilots drink a cocktail and then fly, but we allow the passengers on the plane to order cocktails. By your logic, that's because we don't care about the passengers. Good friggen grief.

I think word or name for what some of you are searching for is ass clown, not idiot or SOB.
Ass Clown
1. One whose stupidity and/or ineptitude exceeds the descriptive potential of both the terms ass and clown in isolation, and in so doing demands to be referred to as the conjugate of the two.
2. One, who, through the fault of his parents conception, is a skid mark in society's collective underwear.
3. A person who by ignorance or stupidity takes up unnecessary amounts of your time.
4. A person who knows absolutly nothing about his job or trade but can tell everyone else how to do it better.
5. A prick, who is at the same time a jackass.
6. One who makes his or herself look like a complete ass no matter the occasion.

Just trying to show you how you came accross to Linda and anyone else who disagrees with you, Todd. Not that I really consider your a SOB or have anything against anyone hear personally, that Rhapsody chose you as a moderator and for your to exemplify the arrogance and unrepentant spirit you have makes me question her standards. You create a lot of drama when none is needed. Your participation in this thread introducing CF is a prime example.

So you're equating me with the devil? According to the text, the man had several demons. If I were making any analogy it would not be about you personally but what is going on inside you to being changing usernames three times in a week. Are you lifting your communication ban against me? I don't want to misinterpret anything. I personally miss our exchanges and would like to have to back as the Bill I have come to know and care for. I am thinking about changing my usernane to The Dud. What do you think?

Good ole Charlie being himself. Just trying to show you how you came accross to Linda and anyone else who disagrees with you, Todd. I've asked some interesting friends both more conservative and liberal than I am to join this place a few times. Linda, Mort and your posts were off putting to both of them. I see one of them often and got an understanding where it was not political or belief systems but presentation, spirit or rigidity in dealing with others on topics. It appeared they followed some real gems on topics such as birther, food police and health care. It would have been nice to have them join. A few of you could have had a fellow conservative but he said he wasn't going to join the types who he feel alienate too many and the sort who can sometimes make him feel the need to hide from his own beliefs. To be honest I get his sentiments because my dart usually lands just right of center and often towards libertarian.
