When people respond to your input you complain, “I am not the issue”<br /><br />This thread was traveling well. It did not involve your kick from cal-dd nor did it call anyone an ass hole (spelling it a-hole doesn’t make it something less) until you posted the following:<br /><br /><i>“the gibbers/bsers have an audience of one cynical old man who was kicked off a bsers list with full approval of their glib a-hole buddies...btw;”</i><br /><br />Stanley,<br /><br />If you breach a subject (BTW) be a grown up and expect responses.
