RICK what is the purpose of a forum?

I agree with you, but I think if people actually used their own name it would water down their personal opinions on issues.

OMG - don't get me started on this subject ...

The cyber sleuths that tend to grow watermelon size cajones when they type under alias, would be completely different if their real names were linked to their alias!

.....
If he is trying to set the tone of a thread and it naturally takes a spin 20 different directions like gun control, speculation into the criminals intent etc., that is where website owners can stick their dick in a ringer....

Nonetheless, I'm not getting anywhere near a ringer.

If everyone would simply agree to buy my product below, your website can uniformly control commentary, and deliver an effective message in a nice way ...

LOL ...

1) It was Ringer
2) Rick said it NOT me

Most importantly please translate "Oh my, I do need some o' dat..."

I am versed in Ebonics, but may need to update to 2013 syntax ...

Clickanerd, you said "ringer" first! And I was speaking Louisiana Cajun, not Ebonics, when I said I need the Idiot Repellant Spray. It's a little pricey...do you have the sample size?

Hey Rick what is the purpose of having a public forum? I am just curious as to what your view is of what this forum should be? Why do we have so many people on here threatened or upset when people have differing opinions? Everything someone mentions does not have to be positive and vice versa.

Did I do something that angered you?

And we still don't know what got this all started.

I think it might be due to the fact that Onetime is extremely opinionated. That is not unusual for our little Centex neighborhood, but he manages to be opinionated and expressive of some opinions that are contrary to the comfort level of some people who are pretty sure they know how Killeen ISD and surroundings actually work. He bucks the system. He is critical of the establishment. People get pissed off and diss him online. So he is asking why his opinion isn't respected.

Awe I would not say I am trying garner the respect of anyone on the forum, but jeez why does everyone need to think exactly the same? If someone thinks outside of the box or has had the opportunity to peek the blinds down on the establishment everyone goes all Ape bleep. I just do not think everyone understands the purpose of the forum. Someone was griping on here about how much AP teachers work I disagreed, but I gained some new perspective about the details of the job.

And what, exactly, do you see as "the establishment"?

Obviously everyone isn't in lockstep with majority thought around here. I'm the notorious recipient of more WTF gigs from Rick than any other member. So don't worry about it.

Well, you got to be number one at something.

That's the interesting thing about anonymity. You might be surprised at the fact that I am, while not perfect, frequently well thought of, considered accomplished, and respected.
