Jim, you are welcome to your opinion, and I am welcome to mine and i don't think either one should be held up as the ultimate truth. I think that is the reason for a forum, a place to discuss and think. However, it seems to me that when you start censoring what is alright to talk about under the label of non-relation to a given subject even though you took part in the initial responses yourself to the subject matter, then you willingly open yourself up to criticism.
If the subject matter was so dubious, then why take part in discussing it at all. if there were any questions about the content or the intent then it is lost since no one here can review the thread to determine for themselves the truth. since it has been deleted. One cannot begin a discussion and then abandon it because there is a response more or less stronger than ones own opinions and viewpoints. That is what those whom we regard as unjust rulers and governments do.
I will not waste any further commentary on this subject as it is becoming rather redundant. To see wrong and say nothing at all, is to take part in the very wrong committed. Despite my bent toward debate. I will resign myself to end my participation in this subject unless personal attacks are made which I will defend myself against.
This is the first time you all have seen me take so strong a stance, and it will probably be the last. I will simply say, as mauirob has said, i did not start any negativie commentary on this forum. I did not degrade anyone, I simply did what all of you gentlemen have done at one time or another, I simply responded with my own opinion.
Shalom
Byron
