    Jeff, I wasn't referring to anyone being a "dillweed". I was referring to the secret society which he belonged to which could possibly explain his secretive and "covert" behavior. Nothing more. There was nothing offensive intended at all. Unless you are a moderator on this forum (which I don't think you are) please sir, mind your own business, You have no right to dictate what other people say or don't say on this forum. The response wasn't even to directed to you anyway.:-D

    Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Jeff wasn't dictating anything, he was requesting:

    Lets keep such groups out of this conversation please.

    Emphasis is mine.

    The fact that Jeff isn't a moderator on the forum is irrelevant. We all have a right to speak our mind, or has the First Amendment to our Constitution been suddenly revoked?

  • We all have a right to speak our mind, or has the First Amendment to our Constitution been suddenly revoked?

    I totally agree. That applies to all of us though, not just the few who don't happen to like what they hear. Request all you want, it is a fact he (Chase) was a Freemason and I was trying to explain a possible reason he acted that way..which I have a right to do. Besides, I wasn't responding to them anyway. 😀

    Doesn't matter... you're blaming some very faulty traits of one individual (heretofore known as a "dillweed") supposedly because of group membership. And it doesn't matter if I'm a moderator or not... I'm requesting that you don't specifically cite a group of people simply because it's not nice. If you had included a religious group as the name instead of Freemason, you would have offended them. Being a member of any group doesn't make you a dillweed... being a dillweed makes you a dillweed. It would be like me saying that I thought Travis was an insensitive jerk because his avatar is of a black and white dog. 😉

    If Chase (whom I don't actually know or give a hoot about) is actually the way you say he is, it's not because he's a Freemason... or a follower of any particular religion... or of any race, creed, color, ethnic background. There are huge number of Freemasons who are diametric opposites with who you say Chase is.

    Request all you want, this is still a free country and I or anyone can give my opinion if I so desire. I did not mean to offend anyone or any group and I made that very clear. I simply made an observation, and last time I checked I am entitled to do that just as you are to say anything you want about me. Besides, I wasn't responding to you anyway. This is a FORUM Jeff and we are entitled to our opinions no matter whether you or anyone else agrees or think its "nice" or not. Besides, the defintion of "nice" depends greatly on who you ask. You or anyone else for that matter, is not going to muzzle my right to have an opinion on anything. 😀

    Okay, in my opinion, you consider all Freemasons to be dillweeds because Chase is a dillweed and he was a Freemason. Simple association.

    People like Chase are always scheming and trying to create trouble through covert actions..

    Agreed, but since he was a Freemason that should not surprise anyone. 😀

  • No body has a right to free speech here. This is a server laying around in some cold dark room, not the government telling anyone to shut up. All of this is what G-Squared was trying to tell Lynn about a few weeks ago. Travis is a troll and proves it all the time. Ignore it(him).

    Meaning that freemasons are a secret organization. That is my opinion. I was referring to the word "covert" that was used in his post, not that freemasons were dillweeds. Big jump. Look up the word covert in dictionary.com. 😀

    Travis is a troll. On every discussion I've ever seen him in. Please stop feeding him.

    Allow me:

    I don't like the idea of being surrounded by 'Yes Men" as you don't get the input you need to really make the best decisions.

    Agreed.

    After the raid that killed bin Laden, I heard an interviewer ask President Obama, 'did anyone disagree with your plan?' He answered something to the effect of: 'Yes, and I wanted them in the room with us. We wanted to make sure all options were covered.'
