I was entertained by Pat's post.

Until reading this.

Who said you could have a dissenting opinion? If you don't like BMW, why don't you just leave?

The world is full of people who believe that only their view of reality is correct. They choose to castigate, negate, and disassociate themselves from any reality that is not their own. My advice to them would be to fellate me.

Just my post-Christmas thoughts.

DJ - you are one of the most prolific, entertaining, informative, and fun personalities on the board. Your return is a Christmas present to many members of this board. I for one appreciate how lucky it is to have someone of your calibre return to the board.

Merry Christmas, mate!

DSKYZD - yours has been a voice of calm and reason. While others would much rather berate and belittle members who happen to have differing perspectives, you are at least attempting to reach out and foster a dialogue. That's appreciated.

Very funny.

Using Gord - I should be a shoplifter.
Using Prisoner (from one of my e-mail IDs) - I should be a juggler
Using Silver_Beak (another of my e-mail IDs) - I should be a sandwhich board advertiser!

Some days I feel like all three!

I for one will not make any apologies for any of the moderating I've done on the board. A very eloquent and appreciated response DSKYZD. I do not want to get in to apologies though. Apologies have been demanded from certain paying members of the board. Interestingly, I don't recall seeing any reque...

Problem is only one side in the problems here recognize that there is a problem. And they have chosen to leave or to take a rest or are thinking of leaving!

It is sad to witness the unraveling of this board. It has been a source of much fun and inspiration in the brief time I have been a member. But it has also been a source of much pain and aggravation.

As per my post in the Member's Section, I might as well take a week off.

I have always found Dallara's posts to be entertaining.

But I guess I have thicker skin than others!
