RE Eric While I must agree that he was a wealth of information, the ethnic slurs were unneeded, uncalled for, and simply wrong. I though, am of the camp that must believe "Sir, I agree with not a thing you say but will defend to the death your right to say it". I, in my own life, am still dealing with the effects of a series unforseeable events. While growing up in the 60's & 70's I was (somehow) infected with truth and started to see the ugly racism of my family, for what it was. Then a miracle happened, in early '76 I met and went to work for the smartest man I have ever known, Kermic Powell, who happens to be black. The third event happened at the time of my father's death, he died from complications of scardiosis(sp). I found out that this disease occurs almost only in black women over 40 or black men over 70. Almost the only cases documented in whites have been in those of mixed race. This event has led to a journey in self-discovery. I now know why there are number of black people in the deep south named Harmon. I also learned why my great-great grandfather arrived in New Mexico (after the war between the states) and would say nothing of his past. suddenly physical signs in my father, brother, and myself fell somehow more in place. It seems there is a long history of the most biggoted people in the old west were those who were "passin". While I respected Eric, for his "golden" contributions, his "off-color" remarks are not missed. Eric is welcome back, for I must live by my standards of freedom, I will never engage him in these lower topics. I would rather let him live in the Hell of his own making. richard

>>This is a very serious charge. Can you substantiate it by posting links to these "viscious personal attacks or that contain nasty slurs against other ethnic groups?" It may also help to "Explain" SI Bob's actions.<< Unfortunately (well actually FORTUNATELY) all of Charter's crap has been deleted. Including the SEVERAL posts where he was pumping out bile on what he called (and these are his words) 'gooks and camel jockeys' and earnestly suggesting that they should be bombed out of existence. Apparently that strikes some people as just a droll sense of humor. To each his own, I guess.

Info Dart - unless he has been deleted altogether - you can click on Charters name and read all his posts and the ones which upset people. If he is totally erased then I guess you can't - maybe that's why Messrs Jackson and Marcos are defending him? E

Off topic: Can you substantiate it by posting links to these "viscious personal attacks or that contain nasty slurs against other ethnic groups?" It may also help to "Explain" SI Bob's actions. I copied those posts Info DART. I thought they would be deleted, and people would wonder what happened. These charges have merit. Incidentally, not only does he use ethnic slurs, his posts also speak of killing every man, woman and child of certain ethnic groups. I am sending them to you by PM. Anyone else who wants proof, please ask and I will forward them to you. Believe what you want, but I do not find it to be friendly and colourful SI banter. No malice intended.
