    All, please take a moment to peruse the forum rules. :)

    I had yet another post edited by the admins and was a bit miffed this time. Sooo, long story short, I double checked the rules and low and behold, I was in obvious error for thinking I could substitute "special" characters to soften certain words I used. Words not personally directed or used in a mean spirited way (In My Defense, he cried!)

    In my case RTFM was certainly appropriate! How would Homer put it, DOH!

    That's very big of you, T8. This does prove that you're a good guy after all. Now, if we can break your habit of defending the His Highness the court jester, you'd complete your transformation...

    Now, deleting characters like "$%!*&@" is now the policy of the forum. OK, I'll play by the rules. Point of clarification, though, can we use "[bleep]" to censor ourselves? For example, can we say, "I barf my [bleep] guts out when I see that [bleep] on stage slaughtering the innocent words of the Amuriken language!"?

    Chris, I have been a good guy all along! :)

    I neither defend nor attack our President. I certainly do not agree with everything he has done, same with Clinton and every President I have voted for. BUT, I am a Patriot and will support the POTUS regardless of their political affiliation. I know it sounds somewhat sappy and niave but it IS who I am.

    And yes by Daniel Adams Michael Nicholas, it does butcher the language! hehehe

    T8: Your good guy credentials were never in doubt. But I got to point out that blindly following a leader regardless of his actions has not worked out well historically speaking. The Germans taught us a lot about that. I will never follow any leader blindly just because someone says that it un-patriotic to express a different view. If our country did that, we'd still be subjects of Her Majesty, the Queen of England.

    I do not blindly follow anyone or anything (golf maybe). Was more or less generalizing my support of the POTUS.
    For me, conversations regarding politics, religion, and a few others are best done orally where I can better express myself or at least contradict myself immediately! :)

    Not Clancy Boomer. Let's just call it "occupational hazard"! :)
