Oh, Goodness!

DonDiego thought this thread was about his winning three ribbons at the local tomato festivities.

Why do folks have to resort to being so quarrelsome and disagreeable? That's the sort of behavior that gets threads terminated.

Oh, and if one is not fighting a hard battle, that's all the more reason for him to be kind.

Great idea DD! I'm assuming that you don't consider the words "ad hominem" or "nastiness" or "angry" too disagreeable for use in the company of grown-ups. But please, let me know!

And yeah, I did describe a word - not a person! - as witless. I probably shouldn't have done that. But come on - the word was buttwipe!

Oh, and I could use a favor. Could you please explain to someone here - I think you know who - that I simply don't start political threads, under whatever nom I've chosed to de plume. After all, that's your specialty, right?

Sigh. I guess Forkush is as innocent as a lamb. I wonder why he ever got banned and then broke the rules and came back under another name?

Hopefully, everyone who has had an opinion concerning this topic have vented their spleens- can we now get back to the main topic of these boards, namely Vagas? BTW, I am happy to see Don Diego and Teecher back. These boards are a lot more fun and interesting with you here.

Didn't get banned. When my paid membership ran out in 4/11, my id stopped working. The quickest way to deal with it was just to create another id. Ask ac, he's around here somewhere. And I'll just wait here for your apology, okay?

Now back to DonDiego. Hey DD, when someone refers to you as a buttwipe, or claims you have a no life or a sad life, is the word "ad hominem" too strong a response. I'm still waiting for your guidance on this!

One suggestion made before by others is to create a Politics forum on the paid side and instead of deleting anything that turns political - move the threads there......censorship that stimulates business for the LVA as people renew subscriptions to reply. That's censorship the American way!

Subscribers have a choice. Either accept the direction of the forum or move on. If one has the need to discuss politics, find a forum that focuses on discussing politics. If I or you or anyone else leaves LVA, the sun will still come up tomorrow. The world's not going to end if I or anyone else decides to move on.

I guess my suggestion was niether welcomed nor appreciated. Oh well, I guess you really cannot change peoples minds with logic when it comes to religion, politics, or political threads on the LVA. Why try to solve problems when it is easier to argue about them?

I see nothing wrong with your suggestion. I personally feel that some would rather moan and groan than resolve issues sanely. This is the way it has always been and will always be. Logic and correctness are not always appreciated or desired, for whatever reasons. You, I and others will just have to accept the reality.

Let me see now. Your paid membership ran out, but instead of just being denied access to the paid side, you couldn't access or log in at all on the free side? That doesn't sound right, but then you have been caught lying to us before. It is funny how you don't see the irony and dripping hypocrisy of how you responded to Rizzo and Don Diego. But I digress. Obviously spending most of your days to collect cut and pastes and links so that you can do battle on political boards is highly constructive and shows that you have a hell of a life [/sarcasm]. Why is it when DD ever started a politcal thread, I could count on you posting something almost immediately?

We seem to have lost the biggest issue here. Was LVA hacked? Who banned DD? Is there a conspiracy against residents of WV? Inquiring minds want to know.
