You have all of 7 posts. Come on now, here I sit with almost 1300. Some forums need closing, because the debates have broken down into name calling and other childish behavior.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles

I apologize CF and Ali and all others on DtT that are from Alabama it wasnt meant towards you, only Billybob. My fault for sending out such a rash comment. I love you CF and Ali, you two are great people here on DtT to debate on....Billybob just spews his drivle thats makes me sick.

It's people like Billy that give the rest of us Alabamians a bad rap...Most of us aren't as backwoods as he is. Nor as rude, loud, and obnoxious as Billy tries to paint our culture.

Don't worry CF...I'm still trying to not hang my head in shame from the moonpie thing in Mobile.

No biggy Hio...Just try not to generalize next time. Or next time, I might have to do something drastic....

Awwww... you're forgiven. I wasn't really upset anyway.

But it is a little hard not to be a bit sensitive when one is from the South. Being portrayed as ignorant, slackjawed, inbred morons gets a little old.

And of course some people (Do I even need to name names?) have to try and prove the stereotype.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

Read About Your Free Speech Online.
(** I am NOT prosting this Information to get anyone to join)

Here is some information concerning free speech online, but
sometimes I think people online seem to always overstep
these rules. This is from the Freedom Frontier Foundation.

EFF: Blue Ribbon Campaign Again, This is a information piece,
and not a promotional or to buy announcement. However, If
I am wrong for posting this information. You Super Moderators
can remove it.

SgtDmski, You are 100% right with your quoted statement above.
In the 10 years that I have chatted and posted on different sites
message boards. There is a bunch of (what I call...Internet Bullies)
online, and the killing part is some of the so-called Adminstrators
and Moderators allow this to happen. Which is a violation of the
TOS agreement.

Myself...I seem to find myself involved in name calling, and bad
child behavior. Especially, when a screen names signs online, and
right off the bat attack me not knowing me. Now that will piss me
off real quick.

There is one political site where the Administrator will monitor
everything (even the Moderators), but does nothing whenever
a moderator is in violations, and what I do is usually ignore that
person or leave the thread.

However ignoring a person isn't good all the time, due to the
fact that the dummie who's spitting venom comments can be
seen as quotes on other screen names messages, and that
makes me to take the person's name off of ignore to attack
that ass.

The most simple thing that can be done is for the Administrator
or Moderator to warn the person twice, and the third time use
the ban.

I have been banned from every forum or chat room I have been in. People get pissed when you uncover their lies and ignorance. The same is true outside of cyberspace. When someone gets cought doing something wrong they lash out at other people rather than take responsibilty for themselves.

So then, you'll take personal responsibility for all of the ad hominems that you post...being that they are usually a valid reason as to why you might get banned from a forum/chat room?
