You're right on that one, pal!" There was a good period of time that this thread was business before you showed up. You also periodically disappear for lengthy periods. This thread keeps perking right along without you. Doesn't even miss a beat.I would also point out that divorce is a two-way street. I will not continue to post here if you continue to appease the McGowans of the world by placing a sword over my head Sounds like you're trying to threaten JLA. what you don't realize is that that bomb in your hand is a wet firecracker. If he wanted to, he could ban you and replace you in a heartbeat.So you're at a crossroads, Mr. Threadmeister. On one hand you can appease the exclusionist element on this board and permanently banish me ... but then the board will turn into just another 9 a.m. Rush Limbaugh coffee club at the Peoria McDonald's. Actually, it's it better thread as a retreat for like-minded people. Less discord and divisiveness. Nobody tossing hand grenades into the crowd. On the other hand, if you do allow me to post here, no doubt I will continue to antagonize a segment of this board with my honesty, candor and truthfulness. Honesty, candor and truthfulness. A good choice of attributes you are not known for.It will be interesting to see which fork in the road you choose. If I were in your shoes, I would invite other middle-of-the-road (like myself) voices You're about as "middle-of-the-road" as V. I. Lenin.
