@ponderable saidThat's true, many posters have their moments of wit, humour and wisdom, and for that I like them.
I like hakima, drewnogal, Torunn, Great Big Stees, Ghost of a Duke, moonbus, Kewpie and probably some I have plain forgotten.
And for all is valid: There is noone (including my younger self) with whom's posts I am entirely happy each and every time.
@ponderable saidPeople who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones eh Pondy.

I was, of course, not referring to just you, but all of us...on occasion. 😉
@very-rusty saidWell for someone avoiding it you post a lot...
It is a popularity contest pretty much that I try to avoid as much as possible!!! 😛 😉

@torunn saidWe have all, at some point in our responding to the threads, have made some things we probably regretted saying. I know I have, though I must admit those responses have secreted themselves deep within my brain, though I'm sure if I just let time pass, they'll come to mind. Likely in the middle of the night and that's why I have a pen and paper on my bedside table.

@great-big-stees saidI can't recall you saying anything offensive, or things you need to regret, not at all.

@ponderable saidI never or rarely kiss butt, which the posters listed do, no offense of course intended! ( of course I would have to make an exception for duchess64 in this case who I've never seen kiss butt! 😉
Well for someone avoiding it you post a lot...
Just a FACT!

@very-rusty saidNot sure I'd call it "butt kissing" but, maybe, just "agreeing with"? 🤔

@great-big-stees saidYou can use the word you want gbs...I call it butt kissing. Note: the names mentioned with the exception of a few butt kissers! 😉 So I call it more a popularity contest! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, although most don't say what is actually on their minds unless of course it it directed towards yours truly who it takes more than one to give their opinions, never argue with one another so apparently agree on everything the other person says at ALL TIMES!!! 😉 OH wait........There was that last time I took a break that they did start to argue among themselves, that would be the exception because yours truly was not here! 😉

@very-rusty saidOften arguments tend to be like, "I know you are, what am I" and they can go on and on with no real resolution. When I get into adult discussions and neither party is going to change their point of view I am of the,"OK looks, let's just agree to disagree" bent not the name calling kind that often occurs in some of the threads. Come on...we're adults right?

@great-big-stees saidgoad and Andy are two prime examples of name callers, then there is kegge who comes in a close second. Suzie Q has cut down quite a bit now that she is a clan leader, but still does some name calling. They are suppose to be adults but do adults call names all the time? I can see the slip up once and a while but not every post or every other post. IS that acting like an ADULT? You answer the questions and tell me what you think. OH....I might add it is all supposedly against the TOS of this site!!! 😉

@very-rusty saidIf I ever call you a name sir, you deserve it. (Like you referring to non-subs as 'scum' which you apparently do not consider name-calling).

@very-rusty saidThe TOS rules are to be dealt with by the admin and their "helpers". Nobody, other than the aforementioned, has dominion over what any of the people on here say. Opinions, can and are, given and those which offend are usually dealt with, when Admin deems it necessary.

@great-big-stees saidRusty asks, "do adults call names all the time?" while simultaneously forgetting he has referred to non-subs as 'scum' for well over a decade.
