I left this forum for several months because two members took umbrage at my 'attitude' and attacked me in separate threads.One went so far as to imply that I was a pedophile.
I asked the mods for some help with this and got no response.
I think that any forum, including this one, needs to protect their members and that comes first above anyone's right to free speech.
I find this statement you made quite disingenuous and also troubling Lew. You yourself, Lew, aka The _Traveler, have made some of the absolute nastiest, meanest, and most vicious comments to people on this forum. I mean really,really,really biting, derisive, and absolutely abusive,vile comments to posters with whom you have disagreed. You have quite a string of people here who have derided your opinions and your negative attitudes toward other members.
I find it just amazing that you, The_Traveler, are here, talking **** about things other people post...when you yourself have deliberately aimed your verbal sword right for the vitals of numerous posters, and once it was in deep, you twisted it, mercilessly. On more than one occasion. And now here you are, acting all innocent, as if *you* are the offended party. My God man...
You are in no way qualified to pass judgement on the "free speech" rights of others when you yourself have been a horrible example of a poster that spews vicious, biting, simply vile ad hominem attacks. Maybe it's your former rank as a colonel that makes you so oblivious to your own misdeeds? I am just apalled that you are making this post!
