And I've seen where you have taken more abuse than you deserved on several ocassions, often times I've sympathized with your plight. (not that it matters) <br /> <br />I just don't have that talent. You took a shot at me with your quip, I returned the favor... *biblical fervor* "An EYE for an EYE!" */ biblical fervor* [:D] <br /> <br />I think what you failed to appreciate was my intended sarcasm in my earlier comment about how religion belongs in religion forums, rather than here. <br /> <br />I actually happen to be on the same side of the fence with you regarding free speech. What I was doing earlier was lampooning the stilted set of opinions that often surface here, trying to rationalize and assert their preferances as to what belongs, and what does not. Often, these sidewalk superintendents who obcess in determining what is fitting for eveyone fail to appreciate that not everyone shares their fringe and varied interests either. As a non christian, I actually do find offense in the flowery "GOD BLESS ONE AND ALL" evangelism that some people feel oblidged to peddle to anyone and everyone around them. But I try to be tolerant, and just not let it bother me...Till that is, they see fit to not return the favor, and start calling me a stinking liberal for making a crack about our president...and that I should take my garbage to a political forum, cause this one IS TRAINS ONLY, yada yada. <br /> <br />Just wait, with all the sincere sentiment expressed by others in this thread about "keeping it just about trains"...come Monday there will be threads titled- "SUPERBOWL!!! Yeeeee Hawww!" -etc despite the fact this is a "trains forum only". They simply don't see it when the shoe is on the other foot. <br /> <br />And it was THAT which I was satirizing with sarcasm. fair enough? [8D]
