I don't want to waste space in a perfectly good thread to respond to you and lead the (good thread) astray....
Did I miss the part where I criticized you? Three days ago you were sending me PM's asking about my surgery recovery on my arm and now you are attacking me in the forums. Not upsetting really, but confusing. Did I cry that people were not treating me nice or not being polite to me? No. I did not like being selectively censored. You act as if "your team" lost. Get over it.
I don't mind your selective retrieval of my past posts. Any person I have flamed in this forum was never a first shot to say. Only a response. I would hope actually your personal time included more valuble things than looking through my old posts. Maybe not and if so,I'm sorry to hear that. I actually don't wish ill-will on you or anyone else at this site. But in reading through all my threads, I hope my overall positive contributions to the site far outweighed and negatives you dig up. Keep trying though if you feel the need.
And one last thing, just to spell it out from the other night. I am not as American as you nor could I ever be. I was born in then West Germany to West German parents. Meaning I could never be President of the US like you could. I have spent less than half of my life living in the US. I have positive and negative things to say about both countries. But I forget, if I don't like something I should stay quiet and walk away...

I find it interesting that you consider my posting of your own words to be an attack. I posted your words to show that you are not above the kind of behavior that you are decrying. I didn’t say that I was addressing what you consider to be “your main pointâ€. I was addressing the hypocrisy that I see. I’m just tired of seeing this “holier-than-thou†attitude. This isn’t a game…it isn’t about winning or losing….and if that is what you think, then I am sorry to hear that.
As for my time, it took no time at all to come up with these examples. What I found disheartening to see was how many people you said were uniformed or unintelligent because they disagreed with your opinion on something.
You say you want respect on the forums, did you not? Well as I said in my previous posts, it is hard to take someone seriously when they don’t practice what they preach…whether they fired the first shot or not…
Quoting KeithL: 2. Respect. It has plummetted in the last year. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Name-calling should not be tolerated. Being an admin is difficult and they cannot be here all the time. It is the job of all members to occasionally let someone know when they are out of line. |

Isn't this a personal dispute you should have by PMs?

If it is addressed personally to GG, then it should be a private message.
