Nicely said, jla. Foxlette is a good example to us all: always congenial, and she doesn't base her friendships on political stance.

I don't consider I insulted anyone. To the extent I have read foxette, I consider that poster an interesting character. So character light is meant to be amusing. Now the name foxette it-self lends itself to the stereo type airhead. And I have not yet really figured any political leaning in the few posts of foxette. I've only read "foxette". In general I consider liberal and conservation to be words slower thinkers often use to describe people. That's why I create pawky phrases. "vacant liberal minded lefty loon" But I'd suggest your misreading of my words has more to do with what my discussion with poet brought out. And not seeing the humor about saying(the generic stereotype) a place of RWE is heavy and dull. Consider you spoke of a token liberal, so I expanded on that theme. Foxette on the other hand can see pawky when it is dealt. I have not fully classified her as a liberal, but bright is on point. (used a word I had to look up and used it with precision) And from her posts I had no doubt,hmmm... high confidence she would smile with consternation at what I wrote. But if she had taken it the wrong way, tuff nuggies. It a cruel world. If you don't ask, you don't get an explanation. Several have earned my highest respect on this thread and I would explain to them things that neophytes must learn in possibly a much harder way. Do you see the wimpsy in my reply to foxette's observation. As to poet, she is a hypocrite. She is a liar in denial. The messages on her thread and her header message is not about being a liberal, It's about ridicule. She carries that baggage as long as her actions do not change. BTW, I was really surprised to find out that you by your actions justified poet's stupidity and ignored her dishonesty. But your header message at least was honest and up front. But I would ban by invitation only first. The pawky method. That is to say if trasher's started posting, I would inform them they are in a moderated thread and they are not welcome. Give them the opportunity to be adults and stop posting. Let the idiots show themselves as no class and then with them documented ignoring civility, ban their ass. But I would have welcomed, indeed invited Poet. That's what I call pawky which a fox has contributed to my vocabulary. It's clean simple shame. As it is one could say poet caused you to act and your actions were not well thought out as to implications, and your confidence or convictions in your belief in free speech. It not about an eye for an eye. It's you know what is right and what is wrong and always act accordingly. It's very simple, Treat others as you expect to be treated. Any action you take speaks far louder than any words. In this place, the ridicule queen reaps what she sows. I simply tell a story pointing out the obvious and with true bimbo liberals, repetition is required. You post with a style and let things pass that I donot and I post with a style that igores things you may not let pass. Mr. Allen, step back and think. Now consider, if idiot's were moderated out and the one or so actual civil supporters of stupidity in general spoke a reasonable idea, I guarantee you could cleverly thank them for adding a good explanation for a conservative idea. If it is a good idea and you agree with it, if you are a conservative, it is part of your conservative ideas. There are good idea and bad ideas and a lot of polarized slower thinking people my friend. And then there is style. So anyway, you gonna ban foxette or make her the token something?????? You have to follow your rules... LOL..... remember you are talking to tosiwmee.
