Ok, that will be enough trading of barbs on a personal level.

Larry, you got a bit heated and need to cool off, but as I see it EVERYONE who baited or continued on this track was off base. Take a break from this forum and get your perspective back, ok? [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you wish to continue discussing the PROTEST, by all means, do so. If you wish to discuss nudity, differing morals and hookers, find another thread on GD and keep the thing PG13 and flame free.

Everyone has issues that they feel strongly about. We all have hot buttons and we all have BACK buttons. It's easy to push someone else's buttons, but we don't like having ours pushed. I'm here to say STOP pushing the buttons for fun and sport and use your OWN BACKBUTTON when it looks like someone else is trying to get your goat.

I'm sorry, but I was not baiting any one or having fun at anyone's exspense.

Looks like no matter what I post is considered flame bait. I disrespect no one.

Larry, I truly felt your "questions" were extreme.

Looks like a majority here feel that I'm a troll and I really don't like that kind of accusation.

People have opinions and I have mine. I do try to respect that, but do I not have a right to post opposing views. If not I will try to stop.

Yes, Larry was a little over the top, but enough is enough- when you see someone going that way, adding more 'opinion' to the fire isn't a good idea.

NOW, I want to see the topic discussed or let it go, but I do NOT want to engage in verbal duels of 'he did this, she did that' here and now.

I was just curious who the 'we' in this statement was.. "you think we know nothing about," Who you are speaking for? we

sorry off topic .. just kind of like some kind of light going off in my head you know.. who knows what tangent that was on lol..

Cloudbringer! You have your work cut out for you the last couple of days in this board! Nice job moderating it.. you have performed admirably! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Djinn. I'm asking everyone over here to keep their cool as it were, cuz I'm a tired Cloudymod after chasing around over at GD all week [img]smile.gif[/img]

Besides, you have all been having some great conversations and debates without a whole lot of moderator input til now. Let's try and keep that up!

Back on topic, please!

OK, this has gotten a bit out of hand...let's take a step back and think before we post, eh? Larry, I know you didn't intend to offend, but there's no need to get het up over what is intended as a joke thread and not intending to offend anyone. Your comments to Skywalker and comparing him to a troll come close to being a flame. I don't think he was doing anything particularly wrong, other than question your opinion which he is entitled to do, if you decide to put your 2c in, people are entitled to question it - politely - whether we are mods or not does not make us immune. ;) Anyone who puts an opinion forward in a discussion should expect to have to defend that opinion, that's only fair - as long as they get questioned politely.

Hooking and nudity are two completely separate things, by the way.

Conversely, so that everyone understands, Larry has quite strong religious beliefs, so if he gets a bit heated up about these topics, let's gently remind him that it's all just in the name of fun - I'm sure no insult was intended by anyone participating in this thread. This is just a big misunderstanding. Let's all chill out and breathe...deeply.... :D :D :D

I'm posting this while completely nude! :D

Talk about your weapons of MASS destruction. One look at my nakedness, and suddenly, the French and Russians are begging the UN(Unsightly Nakeds) to take action! ;) [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

<font color="plum"> :eek: YIKES!!!! BE CAREFUL WITH THAT AXE, <FONT COLOR=DODGERBLUE>BMANN</FONT> !!!!!</FONT> :eek:

The pictures were in every newspaper, this time, my eyes say the bodies were mostly beautiful and nothing to be ashamed of. These people only want to make a difference, and in the end the only thing which really matters is what they think about it themselves.. a brave move, and I will support every anti-war move whether it really makes a big difference or not.

Well, I found out this was all a big hoax anyway. The protest planners wanted a
<font size=15> NUKE PROTEST </font>
not a *NUDE* protest, but some wayward kids got hold of the leaflets and - !viola!
