I run a large gay chat room on another site, and we always have to deal with a certain few who will bitch about anything. I have made it a point to say we do not check spelling, we do not correct grammer and we never talk religion or politics. It is sad that we have to remind people that this is only chat not real life (or in this case a forum) and they need to respect others here. Not everyone has a masters degree in english and is going to agree with you. It is ok to voice your thoughts and ideas but don't be rude. Just my thoughts. Great site guys too.

OK, me too. I was the primordial grammar and spelling freak. And just in general I can't help being sarcastic since it makes me laugh when I'm writing that stuff. And laughter is good all round if there isn't any animosity behind it, which there never ever is with me when it comes to you guys.
Apart from Dave and Mark, whom I actually think of as more than friends since we talk in private about stuff like proofreading the stories, I have three really really good mates on here. One is a sort of saintly moderator who always finds a way to conciliate opposing views, and is so ever present on the forum that one of the members mistook him for part of the organization in a post a few weeks ago. You know who that is.
Another of the three has unfairly taken all the flack for being the principal son of a bitch on the forum and has even been attacked for posts of mine, like the sarcasm about spelling and grammar. He can't understand why he's hit with spiteful complaints about his assertions since all of it is totally defensible when you look at the facts. He's terribly elitist in the eyes of most of the regular joesixpacks (christ, he's now got us speaking French for god's sake) although most of his barbs are retorts, if you look back at the posts. He's a sweet guy and is a firm believer and defender of all the old fashioned stuff that Americans ought to hold dear. You know who he is.
The other one is richardnoggin (dickhead, get it?). He's a mixture of the two, and a really darling guy. He's terrifically bright and interesting...and discreet, not like me and Robert.
I've had cool moments of coincidence with other guys too, mostly the big posters like bookse, and wanna make more friends in 2009. I'm not gonna change my way of looking at, and speaking out about, issues on the forum, but hereby want to assure you guys that there is no intention to wound in anything I say, even if it's a response to an attack by another member.

FORUM: a. a meeting place for discussion of matters of public interest or a means through which such discussion can be conducted; b. a public meeting or assembly for such discussion; c. a discussion of a public issue or other serious topic by a select group. < L: public place
Now we know what the actual definition of a Forum is. If I'm not mistaken, this forum was set up for an honest open expression of ideas and opinions. (Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one) We have a divergent group of members here on the Forum. Nitpickers, naysayers, second-guessers, one-line opines, anal retentives, and of course a cadre of sycophants, who wouldn't say shit with a mouthful. Through natural selection and the tenor of their posts, we all know who they are....but it makes no difference....it's an OPEN FORUM....that's the beauty of it.
The Forum is what a Forum is....open, free, and honest discussion of any topic, with other members allowed to express their opinions....good or bad.
This is how a Forum grows and matures....healthy, open discussion, without recrimination (or privates). I hope we all remember what a Forum is when we post and more importantly, when we reply to those posts.
Some quotes from Henry David Thoreau:
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Let us heed the words of Charles de Gaulle....
As de Gaulle put it in The Edge of the Sword,
"It is the worst of policies to exclude men of strong character for no better reason than that they are difficult. Easy going men are all very well when things are going smoothly, but in times of crises, they may well lead to disaster. Powerful personalities capable of standing up to the test of great events, frequently lack that surface charm which wins popularity contests in ordinary life. Strong and successful men are, as a rule, rough, disagreeable, and aggressive."
If you don't know, God forbid, who Charles de Gaulle was, Google him.

Also sprache Barack Obama. Or at least he has pretended to put together that famous cabinet of antagonists. Sorry. Let's don't go there. Politics is all we need in here to make this into the forum from hell.
Modern theories of the nature of "creativity" are basically Hegelian.

Thoreau's reality is so limpidly, transparently clear, and true. Thank you Robert for posting those aphorisms on a first of January. Material for a resolution or two.
Not an advocate of the First Amendment I take it? I have heard of "cat houses." Is your "cat room" anything like those places? "Cat houses" were famous in New Orleans. A lot of good piano players got started in those places.I run a large gay cat room on another site, and we always have to deal with a certain few who will bitch about anything.
