Colleen,

Re: But if you are planning to continue communicating with people in the U.S.A., I think you will find that you will get a better response if you present your ideas in a way that states the facts and lets the person reading it make their own conclusion.

Problem is, dear Colleen, that you're likely the last person who's suited to objectively judge my skill in 'communicating with people in the USA', or lack thereof. How can I trustfully grant you about '...present your ideas in a way that states facts and lets the person [...] make his/her own conclusion.' when I recall you crapping on about the message #356 below by Frederic Conrad?

I am somewhat convinced now that you would probably verbalize similar sentiments if we were sitting across the table from one another, however, I have serious reservations about the same being true with truedog or MNI. They strike me as pathetic weaklings who cower behind a computer monitor.

Henceforth, I will not respond to either one of these individuals' posts that are directed towards me.


Now, remember your patronizing yet smartly slap-on-the-wrist answer to him:

Frederic Conrad, I realize that many things that are discussed on these forums, would be much more difficult to express in a face-to-face situation. And I really don't know what MNI's motives are.

But I can tell you "You are Dead-Wrong" in your assumption about truedog. I don't know where you're from. But [GOO MODE ON] I don't think any American citizen would see him as anything but an honest man and loyal citizen of his country.[GOO MODE OFF]

And insulting him the way you did was completely uncalled for. Hence, the matter of respect.

As for verbalizing sentiments, I would say that truedog shoots from the hip, and has no trouble at all expressing his thoughts on whatever subject is being discussed. [playing footsie with TD?? that's your story!]

[pushing the snotcake around...]

I realize that you are a young man, and you are very passionate about your opinions and beliefs. And it would be to your benefit to listen to people who have been around a little longer than you have. If you listen to your elders with an open-mind, you can gain much wisdom, and save yourself a lot of grief in this life.

Please don't take offense. I'm not telling you anything that I wouldn't tell my 27 year old son.

I really think you should apologize to truedog,(His Native American Name). He is an honorable man and does not deserve to be disrespected.

Sincerely, C Kahn

AMEN!

Bottom line: Frederic got turfed out.... I guess he couldn't take such a flag-waving hooey.

Dear Collen, instead of chasing down the stray sheep (such as Frederic) and sermonizing your fellow citizens who'd candidly listen to a garrulous anarchist salt like me, you should go back to church and muse over Mark 10:14:

Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these'.


Cheerio!
Gus.
