What direction is this site going in? I have been a member longer than most. Scott and MC are 2 of the smartest people I have met. We disagree on a lot of topics but that is what makes this site so great. I hate to admit it but both MC and Scott have change my opinion on more than 1 topic. That's what happens when you shut up for a minute and post with an open mind. I respect peoples opinions on this site and think everyone should have the right to post. I just wish people would stop posting like my 8 year old. It's just sad that for the last few weeks the site has become a joke. I used to look forward to posting now I am considering quiting. I know that I should take things with a grain of salt. But too much salt in your diet is bad for your health. You know who you are, Senior Members, if you get an urge to post like a child try www.nickelodeon.com. You'll fit right in and I'm sure they won't care about your poor grammar.

Scott you have my ok to remove my posts."not that you need it you are the mod"Sorry I got cared away!Still a big TY to AW it was the best time I have had since my mom passed away,for the days leading up to mothers day.No more songs....Sorry once again
You apparently misunderstood my post ... and I appologize if I didn't make it clear enough.
The songs thing is okay ... cute even. Just don't do it on every post.
In fact, one of my favorite posts was started by you - the 100 reasons post. I thought it was clever and funny.
I don't want you to leave. I just want you to ... and others - this isn't solely directed at you ... JSpeer has his own faults and he knows it (Don't you jspeer ... I'm talking about the fat lady picture) ... Anyway ... I just want the board to be constructive.
Dovey, I don't know you and I don't know exactly what happened with your mother, but I'm glad that this forum was able to help you get through mothers day. I'd like it if it were able to help make every day more enjoyable ... for you and anyone else who likes to take part to.
So bottom line, don't be so quick to fly away Dovey. We need a little peace in our lives.
Than you Scott,I think I removed from the 100.The ditty thing.I will keep the songs in check.Both my parents went very close together for the same reason everyone else is here.So AW really helped out.Peace is always good .TY
Yeah, thanks Scott. Give Dovey a break, after all she's a good egg! At least she was ... LOL!
Till she hatched over here :*) But we don't want her to fly away as ScottDude said. OK,ok Dovey that's supposed to be funny. Take no offense... K?
Any time you need a distraction, you just come on over--There's always a keyboard to lean on here!
Cheers,
L

I guess this would mean more if you were MR Maturity your self. You jspeer have no room to be tossing stones. You tend to attack any who disagree with you. It would be wise for you to grow up a tad yourself.

Some times the songs are very fitting. Just take a step back and think about it.

I guess this would mean more if you were MR Maturity your self. You jspeer have no room to be tossing stones. You tend to attack any who disagree with you. It would be wise for you to grow up a tad yourself. This forum is for posting and debating your opinions. And yes I do strongly believe in my opinion. I think quoting puff the magic dragon and tying all the topics to chemical waste is stupid and I think posting the words to a song that has nothing to do with the topic is very ridiculous. And for a couple days, I did post off topic to try to give AW and Dovey a dose of their own medicine. I am not alone on this. If you like playing with them then perhaps post a topic....call it FC's Useless Info Post. And then the masses would worship you for being the smart one and starting a topic they can relate to. I'm not trying to be mean.....well I guess I am in a way. I have never been one to hold my opinions back to spare someone's feelings. With me what you see is what you get, no sugar coating.

Do you want to explain what FC's Useless Info post means?
It is with great regret that I am forced to say -- OK. That's it! You guys were just too much!
It looks like I, Scot Lefler, am going to have to shut down this whole thing. Everybody out of the pool. You can all go home now, little Jimmy, Susan, Harry, Billy and Sally, your mother's calling you, and, little Scot has to come in to dinner. SO you all will have to go home for now. Since no one seems to be able to play right, and since the parents are letting the kids hit each other and throw stones (stop that! before you put your-his-her eye out!), I guess I have no other choice. Can't let a GREAT GUY OR GAL get stoned in my blogspot--what with all the smoke, smell, or blood and all that yucky stuff (hey, put That out--this is a family show!)
So we're closing up shop for a while and you'll just have to live and talk with yourselves, to yourselves...
OK, ok--JUST KIDDING. Go ahead and bash & trash each other all you want...I just think you are going to loose a few of your war buddies. Remember, first strike all you want--And always draw first blood.

We have a new fake in the game. Scot meet jspaer, jspear meet scot. Welcome Scot, Dovey I think we have been topped.

Ok Scott-dad, I get it but have to say 1 last thing to js. Once again you have stated on this board that your opinion is the right opinion and is the only opinion. In no way, shape or form, have we posted about chemical waste on every topic. Your comment suggesting as much shows your narrowmindedness about issues you don't feel belong here. What issues do you feel should be posted js. From my seat, it looks like you just want to poke fun at people. I think if you go back and read my posts, and off track again I've been here longer than you (sorry all couldn't resist that one), I have not attacked posters opinions just offered a different point of view. You however, have made a sport out of putting posters down. Last week you attacked all of us that didn't like bush. I need to point out that you did so after I backed up my posting with facts. When I called you out on it, you back tracked and tried to play nice for a day or so. But then you were right back at it.
You say that others agree with you point of view, but remember the same can be said for me. Yes, Dovey and I spent the week end yanking your chain, I can't say I feel bad about that. If you are going to dish it out, then you better be willing to take is as well. If you can't I will be right there to point it out. We chose to use humor in a poor attemt to get you to lighten up. But you don't want to hear that, because that might confuse your misdirected anger.
To those of you that don't want to hear about chemical dumps. Thank you for allowing us to speak our peace without comment. And for those of you that watch this board but don't post, we hope the information has helped. But for you js, practice what you preach, and yes grow up.
I am sorry for any posts that may have offended some of you. AW
Ok Scott-dad, I get it but have to say 1 last thing to js. Once again you have stated on this board that your opinion is the right opinion and is the only opinion I never said that my opinion is the right one? I said I believe strongly in my own opinion. What issues do you feel should be posted js
I think all topics belong on this site, Variety is the spice of life. I enjoy different topics and try to keep my posting related to that topic, out of courtesy for the the people on the site. I know you feel strongly about your cancer and chemical topics. I know you wouldn't like it if someone started writing nonsense and making jokes of your serious topic, would you?
I think if you go back and read my posts, and off track again I've been here longer than you (sorry all couldn't resist that one), I have not attacked posters opinions just offered a different point of view. You however, have made a sport out of putting posters down.
Yes Aw, you've been hear longer and used to make good points. You and Dovey are like vinegar and baking soda seperate they are fine, but together they explode. And you do attack people and post way of topic. And as for my debating my point with others....yes I do and sometimes I do tell people how back asswards they are.
You say that others agree with you point of view, but remember the same can be said for me. Yes, Dovey and I spent the week end yanking your chain, I can't say I feel bad about that. If you are going to dish it out, then you better be willing to take is as well. If you can't I will be right there to point it out. We chose to use humor in a poor attemt to get you to lighten up. But you don't want to hear that, because that might confuse your misdirected anger.
Most people on this site agree with me, that if they post a topic they don't want the topic destroyed by nonsensical answers. Look at the numbers they speak volumes....the 2 of you have posted about 400 times in less than a week. And as far as me being able to take it. I can easily take it from a couple of middle aged broads. I never cried that your posts were out of line. I do like adult humor. I have no anger towards people debating my opinion, I do have a problem with uneducated stupidity.
To those of you that don't want to hear about chemical dumps. Thank you for allowing us to speak our peace without comment. And for those of you that watch this board but don't post, we hope the information has helped. But for you js, practice what you preach, and yes grow up.
Aw, you want people to take your issues serious but then you destroy your credability by acting like a child. It's nice to come to this site and vent out, but your problems won't solve themselves. You need to gather the numbers and do something to help your cause, otherwise you get perceived as a blowhard.

Jspeer ,My daughter signed herself on this site,,,,The Fc thing was uncalled for.Time to take a look and see if this is the right place to be,You shouldn't have so much hate for people you do not even know.Like AW said if I have offended anyone here sorry.

Wow, you can't help your hate can you? Dovey I think he means "forgottenchilds useless info post". God forbid he ever has a real issue to fight for. js please tell me what the children of middleport ever did to deserve your contempt? Because I said you need to mature a bit, you take it out on the cause. nice
FC, tell me what is your cause? FC Useless Info Site, that was not meant to be pointed towards any issues. It was a shot at you supporting the nonsense. I was trying to say put the stupid stuff in a stupid section. FMC polluting the town is messed up. What was there first the school or FMC? I really don't know. If it was FMC.....maybe that wasn't the smartest place to put a school. And if it was the school, then who was dumb enough to give a chemical co. permission to build next to a school? I think Middleport thought of the tax revenue and not of the children. The average person in Middleport supports FMC from what I've read. How sad is that that, you people are fighting an up hill battle, good luck. (not sarcasm)
