I have never changed that I am aware of Dwight, I just get tired of your insults to me and anyone else who doesn't agree with you. Maybe you think it's funny but, as is evident here, many that it is directed at do not. You are the only one who does it and it is not funny. As for not being able to take a joke , I very much can when it is good natured and yours are not. I often poke fun at myself even. I chose not to ignore you yet but you really need to consider what you are saying and how you are saying it before you post it. Maybe had you put that differently I may have laughed at it it said something in return. We have had a laugh back and forth in the past when it was good natured and I am OK with that. When I first joined it was the good Friar and I going at it mostly with Moe jumping in here and there. I miss Friar John, I enjoyed talking to him once we got past the arguing.



I understand all this Ian, and MAYBE I COULD have tweaked your nose in a "more gentle" manner.

But, what REALLY got MY ire up here was when Keith interjected his whole "Dwight is so negative all the time" CRAP!

LOOK dude, in THIS thread in particular, I was STRICTLY ON-TOPIC(except for my little "Lucas Electrics" joke reply to moe) and presenting MY opinions about this Harley ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE and until YOU felt the "need" to bash Harley-Davidson in it, and WHICH was not ONLY "negative" but OFF-TOPIC TOO!!!

And so YEAH, I made fun of you a little and JUST like I USED to do in ANOTHER "particular" forum around here whenever I read ALL THE FREAKIN' NEGATIVITY(and often times a LACK of a balanced viewpoint) that you and few others constantly post in the aforementioned forum.

BUT of course, all "Little Pollyana" KEITH ever sees is evidently MY so-called "negativity" when I laugh at some of the people around here who POST some...yes...INCONGRUOUS THOUGHTS!!!

And sooooo, I'm SORRY if YOU can't see how you OCCASIONALLY state those thoughts and then get pissed-off when it's called to your attention and INSTEAD of replying with maybe a knowing laugh and then possibly in a pointedly humorous reply in defense of your initial statement and maybe THEN in a more moderately stated tone that's NOT so freakin' DEFINITIVE as in only YOU know "The Truth" of any given situation or idea.

Ever notice that I seldom "laugh at" or "make fun of" people who state their opinions in a more moderate tone, and who are not so cocksure of themselves and their opinions???

(...and so in closing, if you and "Little Pollyanna" think that THAT'S being "negatively disrespectful", then sorry, but THAT'S just ME...and so MAYBE your AND his best move IS to place me on your freakin' ignore function!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
