i wish i had more imagination when i picked my user name and chose something really cool that would generate five pages of response.

what i have learned so far is just what it takes to get the masses rockin and rollin and all excited.

my layout is a movie set, and like all movies what you highlight is what people see.

thank you beezlbubb for the valuable lesson. my artist license is more valuable than ever.

How is my name messing with anyones religion?? I did not choose that name to have anything to do with religion. Again, that is your personal opinion and perception and eveyone else in life should not have to change themselve to suit your personal opinion and perception. That's what is completly wrong with society today is that people expect the world to change to suit them individually of how they feel about things, what they do and don't believe in, etc... We have to be 'politically' correct. Someone mentioned above there is over 200,00 members here. So in essence no matter what I choose for my user name, someone can possibly be offended by it. Should I have to change it every single time for every person who dislikes it or should people take it for what's it's worth, stop trying to make it out worse than what it is. IT'S JUST A NAME!!! Yes you and many others know what the name is and what it is, but that's all it is. If I came out here with the name of Saint Matthew no one out here would probably even give that a second thought nor care nor even probably notice. Take a good *** look next time you type up a message to the smilies to the left of the message box that your typing in that there is a devils face. If my name pisses you off and offends you then you *** well better be ***ing and complaing to the moderators of this forum that there is actually a face of the devil out here....don't matter if it's cartoon like or not. Stop being a bigget and judgemental and stop being an***over something that means nothing personal to anyone. Stop blowing the sitution out of perportion.

I'm done with this rediculess thread.

P.S. Thank you for the Welcome,

I've already welcomed you to the forum via e-mail, but I'll do it again.

One of my forum rules is that we don't discuss politics or religion in the Trains.com reader forum. Seems either topic typically - no, make that ALWAYS - leads to an argument between people who are otherwise perfect friends. Your username is a perfect example. I understand that it seems like you're being singled out just because a few members don't like your username, but I'm sorry, you're not the first cases where I've had people change other usernames. No, I'm not picking on you either. I'm just trying to get this forum back to order. Again, sorry, it probably doesn't seem fair.

Also, since you're new, you may not have notice the lack to swearing around here. It's a strict rule. There are children who visit this forum, plus, there's no need to swear in a forum that's SUPPOSED to be talking about model trains.

Our swear-word filter catches most swear words... that's why you *** litered throughout the post above.

So please, no swearing. And that's written or implied... using symbols to mask a swear word is still swearing in my book.

No, gentlemen, can we get back to the reason we host this forum? [Locked]

Thanks,
Erik
