Is something that we seem to have lost here at times. Many will accuse me of being a part of the problem, not the solution. However, it's interesting to note that my actions have actually led to a call of sorts for a ban on alias's...something I've advocated for a long time here.

I recognize that some of my recent comments have been harsh (maybe overly so) and/or judgemental. I'd like to point out two things. 1st I post EVERYTHING under my "name". So like me hate whatever....you know who your dealing with. I learned early on that its better to have an enemy you can respect than a friend you cant trust. Rest assured I will never say anything behind your back I haven't already said to your face.

2nd I have never gone back and edited or deleted a post after the fact (I have occasionally added stuff and have so notated)....that way those late to the fray can accurately catch up and fillet me as they see fit...

In closing if you review the recent threads I've participated in I've commented positively on comments from those I violently disagree with if I recognize merit in there position. When rocks are thrown I send back bigger ones...I'll fight queensbury rules or no rules...but always under my own flag...never hidden.

Accordingly I will take the first step here....my recent opinions are mine and were given without malice....that doesnt make them right or wrong...they are simply opinions. Those who have been offended have my sincere apologies for an overly harsh delivery although I stand behind the opinions themselfs. In the future I will make every effort to treat those who post under their "handle" with the respect and dignity they deserve...as long as I am afforded the same respect.

If however you choose to bring rocks....bring big ones....I will.
