sure. let's accept Hitler as he was and focus on his improvement of the German economy after taking office, and "ignore the negative".🙄
I'm leaping out here, to asume your point is you can't find a positive in VR's posts/threads? Then I guess it takes a very big person and you're just not big enough 😛

anyway, i have not expressed a problem with VR's threads (in the past several months). so, your big leap was a big leap over a cliff. i hope the impact at the bottom knocks some of that woolly-headed hippy-dippy feel-good bs out of you.

I don't really have anything to say to that.
If someone's hurting someone, then obviously it's not good to ignor the behaviour, but this is the internet people!!

RN would not fall on the wrong side of the criteria as he has proven that he has a sense of humour and he has contributed value to certain forum discussions, GB would also not warrant a serious judgement as he certainly has conversational skills and is not openly hostile, while VR does nothing but argue incessantly over every stupid little thing and adds nothing of worth to the forums or the community as a whole. If he behaved in real life as he did on these forums then he would have absolutely no friends and his family wouldn't go anywhere near him. Why should we have to put up with it?
Let's assume VR, RN and GB are substandard human beings (falling short of all consensus driven criteria, lacking in conversational skills and social graces). Does the spectre of that sad premise determine and dictate an ipso facto peer decision that there's no room for them in The Red Hot Pawn Inn?
Originally posted by yo its mewell, i think you do have good intentions, like VR, but i think both of you are misconceiving Grampy as some kind of hapless picked-upon victim, whereas there is ample evidence that he deliberately antagonises people here on GF, both via mealy-mouthed backhanded insults and by indulging in behaviour which he knows antagonises people, such as creating huge numbers of threads, bumping his own threads etc etc etc. he deserves what he gets.
Aww!

shadows on the broad lawn, canopy of trees
sometime after midnight, the ground is gonna freeze.
birds in the frosty air, what are they doing there?
greenhouse full of butcher's broom, breezes at my back
some time before the sun comes up, the earth is gonna crack.
I look down at my hands, like they were mirrors.
fresh coffee at sunrise, warm my lips against the cup.
been waiting such a long time now, my number's finally coming up.
all the neighbors come on out to their front porches, waving torches.
