Cr@p washes out. good morning cf, for the above, i guess you are a better person than i am. i have described apologies and backepdaling and all the rest till we are blue in the face have I not ? i just can't help it but me be I (or I be me, according to our second 'I' --or is it us ? --whatever). -g- the point here is that i do not have a problem giving an apology if i have done something wrong AND the person who i did such wrong deserves the apology. in this instance, true it is that the cr@p does wash off. i just do not feel the cr@pper deserves any consideration given. and with that said i will agree to move on, the best i can offer is a renewed intent not to engage the idiot brigade any more in deference to the civil participants of the thread. no promises, since: 1. i can't promise what i can't deliver 2. i know these idiots from experiences in real life and i know how nasty they can be --i do not have membership in the "turn the other cheek club"-- i have also learn that if i confront them eye to eye, they never come through with their rubbish. 3. i have too much passion in me, and i like it that way just fine, much better than the spineless hypocrites of examples we have seen. it is like flying a high performance jet, all i need to do is learn how to fly it. imagine how boring it would be to just leave the jet parked and never fly it. all this makes it hard to restrain when i see insults like we all have witnessed posted against those who all they have done is speak their minds about a specific political affiliation and better, provided a safe harbor to those who want to do the same. all this done in a peaceful manner. i do not necessarily agree to all the aspects of the political side i make reference to, but that is not a reason for me to be a brute. so there you have it, a good speech to start the day. have a good trading day.
