A few quotes to leave you with:

"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
--J.F. Kennedy

"There's a sense of fear in America today, that if you say the wrong thing, if you step out of line, if you dissent, somehow and some way this government or the forces to be will come down on you."
--John Lewis

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security"
--Benjamin Franklin

"When you can't say 'f**k,' you can't say 'f**k the government'"
--Lenny Bruce

An explanation of our current situation:

"Nearly all men can withstand adversity; If you want to test a man's character, give him power."
--Abraham Lincoln

"Power corrupts, but absolute power is a blast."
--Junior White House staff

A message of despair:

"We're all diddly doomed"
--Ned Flanders

And one of hope:

"Even a little dog can piss on a big building."
--Jim Hightower, Texas Commissioner of Agriculture

Sad That makes me sad. Actually wait, not really.

I don't know what your deal is, but I will simply ignore you, because it appears you have issues of your own may I suggest a specialist?

Although, I see your point, maybe we should start capping my messages at like 300 words or something lol.

Anyway, crabbs, don't take this as 'bs'. I don't want you to leave because of this issue. If anything, I wish you'd stay because of this issue. It seems rather fair-weathered of you to leave when things don't go a certain way and come back later in hopes thing will have changed.

As I have said before, I believe that if we are all the change we want to see, that change will actually happen.

Palabra brought up a good point earlier to me earlier, and don't take this offensively, but he said that your leaving is an example of failure. Things don't change so we leave, and that is an example of failure of a community as a whole. Not only of mods and others being resistant to change, but also people that advocate change giving up because they don't see the change happen at a 'quick pace'.

I hope that wasn't too flowery for ya, and by the way Mark Twain is one of my favorite writers. Smile

I would concur with that aussie Smile I do need to learn how to be concise in my posts regarding my thoughts.

However my vice in writing is miniscule when compared to other issues that I could have. It is the least of my worries.

You seem to still be sour, and it is clouding your judgement on what exactly is rationally on subject to Crabbs concerns.

I can assure you that my flowery language is the least of GM's problems.

Oh and on a side note. I do not read my posts aloud, so I don't really love the sound of my own voice, rather the feeling of my fingers typing away endlessly and ruthlessly lol.

Ok... again, you seem to be unable to understand what I am saying.

Let me use simple language.

I agree I need to write more simplier. You should try to stay on topic. Otherwise you will miss the point of the topic crabbs brought up.

SImple enough for you Ms. Simpleton?

I have to agree with aussie- I usually start to read Magflag's posts, but then my eyes tire and I just skip to the next one...


Too much roundabout verbiage that may or may not conceal salient ideas.

Play nice children.

Mags threads on strat were verbatious, but its not something which can be done in a paragraph when you get that detailed.

The word you are looking for is "verbose".
