    NOTE TO EVERYONE

    "Idiot" and "moron" are insults that Brett has forbidden. The mods will delete them when reported. Please help us out by refraining. The clever ones among you can get your point across without schoolyard taunts.

    NOTE TO REX

    Compaints about Tigerforums, moderators, deletions, etc. must be handled by PM and email as stated in your user agreement. Public challenges of moderators will be deleted.

    Moderators are volunteers helping Brett out and we don't need a bunch of crap for doing it. We don't monitor every thread and we aren't on call 24/7. We don't work for you, hoss. We work for Brett.

    Remember when Howard Dean said Republicans don't work?
    I'm starting to think Democrats don't such as Rex, someone who hangs out here 24-7
    until they get mad and leave for a while.

    Or are you a communist Rex?
    Starting to think so, are you part of the blame America first crowd?
    Everything is our fault not anyone elses?

    BTW, You won't respond to my post.
    I saw that you were here and left.

    You are a crybaby, you cry about everyone that don't agree with you
    including the war in Iraq and this administration.
    Sometimes with absolutely no proof, if your going to do this you really
    should take the time to back it up.

    You cry when someone calls you a name because you can't take it!
    :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
    How old are you, really?

    If you do work for someone, do they know you spend company time here?

    I'm starting to think that maybe we should all just make a pact to ignore everything Rex posts. That way nobody's blood pressure goes thru the roof (except maybe his), nobody violates any user agreements, and eventually he'll just get tired of screaming at the walls and leave.

    Rex, the personal attacks will never fully cease. If they're not relayed in the 'you're an idiot/moron/assclown' capacity, then certainly they will be in the 'you're a whiny liberal/know-it-all/communist/bleeding heart/conspiracy theorist' version.

    While it's incredibly weak to think you're insulting someone by calling them a member of a legitimate American party, it is going to happen. I get called 'liberal' all the time, despite the endless threads in which I've fully divulged my political affiliation. Hell, it's even in my signiature. But you just have to take it in stride as part of the game. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I became a contributor (and thus, enabling myself to participate in FSA). I enjoy recieving the constant opposition that I do. How fun would it be to be somewhere where everyone agrees with you? What's the point?

    If someone completely dismisses your train of thought without consideration, well then that's their problem. In arenas such as these, there are always going to be individuals like that. So many people are just so hell-bent on the idea that any deviation from their own thought pattern is evil that you're guaranteed to ruffle feathers and push buttons. Be proud of that.

    Just accept the fact that most of the people here are going to condemn you as an irrational radical, regardless of how non-abrasive and logically you present your case(s). The personal jabs pose no real threat to you. If someone wants to disagree with you on a factual level, then recognize and retort. If not, to hell with 'em. I've found some of your post here over the last few days to be very good and would like to see you continue participating in discussions. But if you're constantly making a gigantic scandal out of inevitable occurences, that probably won't happen.

    Back to the subject...
    Why do people bitch and complain about the body count in this war?
    Why don't they just come clean and say they disagree with it and we should've never
    went in?

    Show me another war where we overthrew a government with such few casualties.
    In WWII we lost more in one training exercise but I guess that was justified since
    we weren't on the offensive.

    I think I know the answer, they just want to bitch and complain because they are
    against the war and their party isn't in power right now.
    Just shows you how sneaky some people can be.
    I personnally would give the other side more credit if they told the truth other than
    having other motives.

    Rex, the media is on your side mostly, don't think they wouldn't be glad to bump up
    the casualty count in this war.

    People,
    Don't tell me about how every life counts please...
    My brother served in the first gulf war and I have an uncle by marriage who lost his
    brother in Vietnam!
    Every life matters but sometimes you have to have some perspective.
