Default Decorum and respect on the forums

Except you, James. You erupted at me with a string of name-calling that added nothing to the discussion except to demonstrate your inability to communicte intelligently.

Why do you have to take peoples words and twist them around and make them sound like they dont know jack?
It's called: 'deconstructing your opponents argument', James and it's a standard form of debating. Chris uses the same tactics so there is no inequity.

Always have to be the know it all of this forum ever since I got here. I got to admit, Chris and others did a wonderful thing by creating RHC. I don't have to deal with a tool like you Jim.
Still name-calling in lieu of an intelligent response, I see. Ah well. Some things never change. If you love Chris and RHC so much, why are you even here? To whine? You claim to be so annoyed with me yet you continue to reply to my posts, even when they are not addressed to you. Interesting bit of schizophrenia you're demonstrating here.

I stood back and watched for awhile now and then you have the nerve to attack Chris's post being that he is a very helpful person to this site and still is, you treat him like some newbie or an idiot.
I 'treat' Chris like someone I disagree with and I reject most of his arguments for 'gay marriage' with my own cogent points. Guys like you personalize everything on the internet and get bent out of shape when you can't sustain an argument. Chris is more mature than that and understands that we're just two strangers on opposite sides of the country posting messages on a Mustang messageboard. Neither of our reputations, friendships or self-images are in any danger if we have a disagreement over some culture-war issue and whether we agree or disagree, we are not changing the course of history here, just exchanging our views. Sarcasm is the coin of the realm on the net, James. Get used to it.

Although I find his liberal, anti-religion, hedonist attitudes to be sadly typical of many today, I do respect Chris' mechanical talents and his years of help to others on this site. You apparently forget that I also spent over five years here as a moderator and administrator and answered hundreds of questions as moderator of the Windsor Power forum, helping many in the process. I gave many hours to this site as a volunteer and whatever respect I've received from anyone here, I've earned, as has PKRWUD. We are quite equal there, too. You simply don't realize that. Your loss.

Does gay marriage "effect" anyone here in any way, shape or form? If it does, explain

I already have, in detail. You are apparently unable to grasp it. Your loss, again.
