Well, many of you know what I do for a living, so my opinion on the stuff can probably be left unsaid.
People are of course free to disagree with my opinion on that. Paul and I do right now in fact. We disagree on a lot of things. I'm right on all of them, but that doesn't stop him from disagreeing.
And that ties back in to the original topic of this thread. Disagreements are fine. If Paul started calling me a narc, or I called him Cheech (actually, he might LIKE that...) that's where the problem lies.
The members in question started down a path that, unless altered, could potentially lead to some severely hurt feelings around here. At the time, I somewhat disagreed with the actions taken by Paul. But since I wasn't in the middle of the fray, I held back until more information could surface. It has. The call was right. Not because of who they were, who they liked, what they said...because of what they were doing.
Posting PMs on the board is just plain wrong. They are called private for a reason. Please bear in mind that whatever you post on the forum, anyone with a computer can see. That includes your email address, instant messenger IDs, and other info. If you choose to copy/paste something that is clearly private, you run the risk of being escorted out. That is for the privacy and even safety of everyone here. Call me overly dramatic, but I have seen both the good and the unspeakable come from it.
OK, off my tree stump now. The season is starting, and there are drivers to be picked on (they all drive Chevies by the way...), Jaws and Helton and Childress to be put in their places, Todd Bodine needs a head polish, Spencer needs a buffet, Ward needs a dictionary, Junior needs a beer, and they're all relying on us to keep it all straightened out.
