Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[AKvetch]

Augie,

You have misread me and mischaracterized my message. I regret that I was unable to make my points more clearly or convincingly. I'm also sorry that you could find absolutely nothing redeeming in any of my comments, as evidenced by your dissection of my post and your line-by-line rejections.

However, you are indeed correct -- you are the board moderator and you have the prerogative to run the board pretty much as you see fit.

I don't see all of this as black and white as you do. Truthfully, I'm a bit disappointed, but I do wish you well in developing this thread as a place for dialogue and the civil exchange of disparate viewpoints.

Inasmuch as you have effectively terminated any further discussion by telling me you have nothing more to say on the subject I will not pursue this further. I do not want to be confrontational with you, nor do I want you to take my comments as annoying or insulting, which you apparently are.

Thank you for taking the time for your previous responses. I hope we can agree to disagree and let it go at that.

Regards,

AK

p.s. I see you have amended the thread header. Undoubtedly this will encourage the type of posts you desire:

ON THE OTHER HAND, ATTACKS ON PUBLIC FIGURES -- FOR EXAMPLE, THE JERK-WADS ON BUBBLEVISION, THE NITWITS WHO SUPPOSEDLY RUN THIS COUNTRY, THE WHORES WHO PREVIOUSLY RAN THIS COUNTRY, THIEVING CORPORATE EXECUTIVES, PIMPING STOCK ANALYSTS, AND, ESPECIALLY, THAT STONE-COLD B*TCH MARTHA STEWART, ARE NOT ONLY TOLERATED, BUT ENCOURAGED.
