With your attitude...you're better off staying where you're at

We have enough socially awkward people here to last us a lifetime, we're good, thanks though.

It's tough avoiding the temptation to 'win' discussions in an internet forum - most fail (to avoid the temptation), and I certainly include myself in that group. When this happens, all you can do is apologize and move on. There are a few people in this forum who I have offended at one time or another, and who have refused to forget and move on. It makes me uncomfortable to be so important to someone who I have never met.

I sincerely hope to meet a good chunk of you at the National, and to mend some of the past offenses.

I thought you were going to say there are a few people in this forum you "haven't" offended .

Because I want to respect the fact that this is a vintage baseball card forum, and really didn't intend to offend anyone here, I posted in the watercooler section of this board where off topics are welcomed.

Rather than starting a new thread, since what I posted was relevant to the conversation on the "assault weapon ban" thread, I posted a link to a video that I would hope anyone interested in "the Constitution" and "the Bill of Rights" would take a look at.

I doubt anyone can deny anything in that film.

Thank you for the open forum Leon

Sincerely, Clayton

That would probably be more accurate, but at least I'm good for increasing post-count

I can honestly say, with only one exception, everyone who ever thought they were an internet enemy, became a friend when we met. Of course, that might be due to the other guy's magnanimity, but it still counts.

There is one guy here who I am afraid might punch me in real life, but I'm relying on you to warn me if he gets too close

The directions this has gone reminded me of this........


Conan: What gods do you pray to?

Subotai: I pray to the four winds... and you?

Conan: To Crom... but I seldom pray to him, he doesn't listen.

Subotai: [chuckles] What good is he then? Ah, it's just as I've always said.

Conan: He is strong! If I die, I have to go before him, and he will ask me, "What is the riddle of cardboard?" If I don't know it, he will cast me out of Valhalla and laugh at me. That's Crom, strong on his mountain!

Subotai: Ah, my god is greater.

Conan: [chuckles] Crom laughs at your four winds. He laughs from his mountain.

Subotai: My god is stronger. He is the everlasting sky! Your god lives underneath him.

[Conan shoots Subotai a skeptical look. Subotai laughs]
