Personal attacks MUST STOP but personal views cannot be taken out of the forums and still maintain a vibrant lively place to intermingle. Our personal views make the very idea of a forum viable! If only the public or generic views were being aired then what would be the point? Everyone would post exactly the same. To disagree vehemently with someone else's pov is not a personal attack. To reason and offer opposing views is not a personal attack. I will give an example, and bring up and old thread to try to clarify my point. I have a very strong opinion of what actions make someone a racist, and was debating whether my view is the correct view. That conversation included many opposing views, including Andres, I still disagree with him but none of us got personal...we were agreeably disagreeable. I personally always refer myself back to that thread to make sure I am comfortable that I am not getting personal. I have a discussion in mind that i check myself at the door because I did once get personal with another member while stating my pov and am careful not to cross that line again, even when innuendo and outright rudeness rears its ugly head.

And I believe I was talking to Brites, trying to keep her out of trouble, so to be honest you're attacking me right now. I mentioned no names but brites because I was speaking to her. Hmmmm........

@galonely23: I've not referred to Brite, only you....and yes u did mentioned my name when talking abt "groups". So, if u go back and read that, you'll see it is true. If u wanna discuss FACTS, I'm here....but don't bring me into your games. I don't give 2 sh*ts abt brite and whether u 2 are bumpn uglies or not. If u wanna discuss mine and your problem, u know where I am....but don't bring ups Brites ass again, cuz l cld care less abt her.

Ram, where in THIS thread did I say anything about you or anyone else? So yes, you are personally attacking me. Not one time did I say @ram/ram or anyone else. Nowhere in this thread have I started anything with anyone.

@galonely23: I'm not attacking u in this thread, I'm just passionately stating my opinion. And sorry if I wasn't clear, I was refering to u calling me out in your suggestion thread...when u mentioned my name in response to Jladawn abt "groups" THAT is the issue I have with you, nothing else.

agree 100%

@Ram, yes, you are attacking me. Not once have I mentioned anything HERE about you at all and that discussion is over. And btw, I don't take kindly to threats. Gonna "take things in to your own hands"? I have 2 kids so that will not be taken lightly.

@galonely23: Oh geez, lighten up. You've made my point...can't even admit your mistake....Someone doesn't agree with you and u say Naa Naa na boo boo....You STILL haven't answered my question...why did u bring my name up when talking abt "groups"? All I did was say, passionately I admit, that I didn't agree with your suggestion.... And u keep sidestepping that issue. THAT is the only problem I have with you. And u attacked me at least 3 times in that thread because u didn't have the verbal talent to defend yourself any better than what you did....on top of that, you brought your "friend" in to help u out. As far as taking things into my own hands, I meant out here, so here it is, explain yourself, if you can.

Ummm excuse me....im RITE here people...noone wants to see i dont give a **** about Brite's....im not even in this convo

No bud, I don't have to explain it to you. It's dropped. Was discussed between both me and Andres and I got an infraction for it. Now you're trying to bully me, and the "take things in to your own hands" is indeed a threat. No worries, I'm having it taken care of.
