RE: “What on Earth am I here for?”
Jeremiah... exactly the sort of arrogance I am talking about. You, as a moderator, should be held to a higher standard than the general population that claims membership to this forum, yet you have no regard for who you may offend or otherwise provoke with your posts. In fact, you seem to enjoy antogonizing members with your condensending holier than thou attitude. It is really quite shameful and disrespectful of others, and does not seem to follow the attitude of grace and respect that you preach.
As for the rules.. yes, I have read them... over a year ago when I signed up on this forum. Thank you for the condensending remark about joining three days ago and being "really new" and advising me I best be reading the rules so I don't break them. Also newbie Yankee who has only been here since March of 2007 so you "understand him to be new" and consider him "warned". I would not consider Yankee to be "new" with over a year under his belt here. Really cool throwing your "moderator" status around to manipulate the rules and threaten membership just as I eluded to earlier. Nice work.
This type of attitude and self righteousness is pathetic... boot me if you wish, after all it would seem the only important members would be those who share in your beliefs and opinions... pathetic!
