Is this a hold up?

It isn't a new thread. A response to this thread. Lest it is lost on you. It is common curtesy.

BTW this is the this is why I'm in the doo-doo. People who don't know the difference btwn a thread and a response to one. Why do I need to lay back when others don't? I think P-Funk asked the same question recently. When you attack my judgement, opinions, or beliefs I think I have every right to respond in kind.

And you're missing my point. I'm saying why even bother posting on the main forum when you only value Neals' response?

We do have debates and sometimes it gets heated but we all have to practice a little restraint and not beat each other up over a difference in opinion, or try to convert each other. What the moderators are watching out for are people who come here with the intention of setting the world straight. There are other forums for that.

"My 80% ally is not my 20% enemy" a great man once said.

I understand your wanting to be free of the BS for awhile. I sent an e-mail. Look for it if you will.

Thank you again

No, the reason you're having problems is - as the link I gave above to the definition of personal attack suggests - you attacked the people who attacked your opinion. There is a very definite difference between these, and like most good forums, there is a very good reason why Subsim disciplines severely for personal attack.

My judgement or an appeal for other input. Take your pick Kapitan_Phillips.
Either way the responses were forth coming; most of them negative towards myself.
That should give you some rest.
