Sangraal and Hobie,
Then you both should have written your own comments to Mr. Roads as Oliver did. Mine ARE MINE and stand as written!
I can smell condescension a mile away. It has the powermongering odor of a nest of lizards. It speaks like this: 'I KNOW IT ALL; YOU KNOW NOTHING. Now just sit back while I TELL YOU HOW AND WHAT TO THINK.'
I'm not suggesting that Mr. Roads KNOWS that he is doing this, though he may very well. I'm just suggesting that if a Mack Truck runs over you, you ought to stand up for yourself, because clearly no one is going to do it for you. AND, you had best not be intimidated by the fact that the sign on the Truck says, "Nexus".
I too love this place. RMN allows us FREE expression. It is an incredible forum. If one of us had said to Rayelan what Mr. Roads said, we would have been all over him/her like a hurricane. And if any one of us had called all the rest a bunch of 'silly paranoids', the rest of us would have eaten 'em alive! I fail to see why Mr. Roads should be given special treatment!
