And I responded, and as I expected, you couldn't keep an insult out of even a single post.''stooped to YOUR level in making belittling personal remarks''
By the way, as I understand it the Sandbox is not JUST a political forum, and is open to everything Hobby-related. Correct I don't discuss politics at all, as mine are my business and nobody's else's. Are you referring to The Monkey Pen as THIS forum or all of ECCIE? This forum. Read the sticky at the top of the forum. I think I have every right to be on ECCIE and not expect to be depreciated for my beliefs, Not in this forum. Ask JD or cutiepie, they have no trouble cutting down others beliefs. They think liberals are Satan. Fancy, if you are respectful to me, I will do so in return. My problem with you is your lack of respecting my POV. maybe for my looks or service as a provider, but that's a different issue. See we differ here. I never cut down a person because of their looks. Even though I realize what kind of site this is. I do not think it proper for me. I respect others if they think it ok for them but do not expect any negative comments from me on anyone's looks. You're right; I was raised to be courteous, and I treat people that way. I was raised that way too but I have sense changed it to folks that are courteous to me. Shallow on my part? Guilty as charged! I don't know how you inferred from my post that "I knew it all," as I obviously don't, but perhaps I am naive to expect boundaries and an exchange of ideas on a board like this with civility and decorum. Yes , I think so. What I have seen is that it is just to big. To many different personalities. Not only that, who decides what is civil and what isn't? It is different for each of us. See if you want to get in a respectful philosophical discussion on that, I would be happy to. It is an interesting discussion.
Whether you respect me or not is of no importance, as I respect myself, Good and I mean no disrespect when saying that and therefore do feel bad about my comment last night. I crossed my own boundaries and stooped to YOUR level in making belittling personal remarks. WTF? My apologies for that.Do not say you are sorry and cut me down with a belittling remark at the same time! The thing is, you refuse to understand my point. No I think I understood your point. You wanted to expound on my point. That was a whole 'nother subject. My point was very simple. Your question isn't the kind that can be answered with a simple yes or no, but if that's what you want, sure, treat everyone the same, men and women alike, be snide and derogatory to all creatures great and small. Happy?
I am not happy nor unhappy. But you have mischaracterized my question.
You see me a certain way. You then see more into a question than what I asked. IMHO

If you really want to have a respectful conversation with me. Listen to what I say. Do not twist my words. Ask me if there is some confusion and quit thinking you know me. You do not. We could have a respectful conversation if you will just open your mind to the possibility.
