Apologies
I would like to apologize to JimK for allowing my previous post to turn into a personal argument between myself and Lee. It was never my intention to cause a problem especially after not posting here for such a long time. I thought that a little break from the constant posts regarding Moore’s recent failure “Sicko” was a good idea and only wanted to initiate some constructive debate and discussion. I have always been a person who can take constructive and respectful criticism and critiquing. But when someone comes at me with aggression and seems to be personally attacking me, they should expect a response other than retreat. I have always been the kind of person who has also stuck up for others who are being attacked for no reason on this site, and have always done the same thing in real life. If someone addresses me man to man and tells me that it is their opinion that a posting is not appropriate or perhaps off topic, I am more than willing to listen to them and take their thoughts into consideration. But when someone takes swipes at me and uses foul language, I do not respect that and will let the other person know. Those of us who have been posting comments here have seen our share of the trolling moonbats who come in just to verbally attack and offend us just to slither away back into the shadows of cyber space. And we have seen many of them blocked because of their behaviors. The last thing we need to do is stoop to their levels.
I for one will take JimK’s example and take the higher road and I suggest others do the same.
UPDATE I have deleted the previous post out of respect for the site administrators.
Update by Lee: I have un-deleted the post. One strict policy Jim and I have had on this blog is that we don’t delete things, ever. Michael Moore is notorious for doing that, deleting history when it suits his purposes. We don’t stoop to his level. Our thoughts and words and changing opinions are a matter of public record, and once something is posted here it stays here, for better or worse.
Besides, with the previous post deleted this post wouldn’t make any sense. It would be your response to me without anyone being able to read what I had written. Not to mention the fact that you deleted words written by both Jim and I, something I’m sure he appreciated about as much as I did. I didn’t “take a swipe” at you, I didn’t even mention you by name, referring to you as “the author” specifically so it wouldn’t come off as a personal attack. If you’re going to accuse me of taking a cheap shot at you, then the least you can do is leave my words up so others can see if they agree with you.
The previous post stays, as does this one.
