Dave, is there a reason for your answere besides your hatred towards Chris. I know that you are being sarcastic, but I would hate to be the mod who gets out voted. Others are in my favor so I wouldnt mind those.

Tony,

I don't hate anyone here, I do dislike Whittington playing the majority of members here for fools. And yes, the sarcasm is apparent.

Dislike conveys almost the same message as 'hate' except that it is less harsh/ slightly more nice. I would hate to be that one mod who gets outvoted all the time though, since the security of the world isnt in the hands of a mod, I will get over the sour feelings soon.

Nice try Chris but not good enough.
This sort of technique is an adaptation of one used by people who try to sell you a time-share home in Spain. I have seen similar used to sell shares and encyclopedia. It is unlikely to fool the sophisticated audience that we have here.

Not good enough? You are being kind. It is the worst case by far of oral diarrhea i have seen in a while. If he had any credibility, which is doubtful, he long ago lost it.

Now Tony, don't put words in my mouth, I stated what I felt accurately. I don't sugar coat anything, if I felt hate, I would have said so. We have always gotten along well even in disagreement.

There must be a reason Czub gets out voted by two logical and factual moderators. Did you ever stop to think that maybe it's Czub who is the wacko along with his mouthiece?

:P :P
