Public Apology

I received a private message about my vulgar language in a recent post. I think I have become a victim of modern media. I'm very sorry to offend anyone. I was totally out of line. Instead of saying heck, I came off with Edit I must have been in a fit of rage. So please accept my apology. I did not mean to offend anyone.

Yeah, pay attention to that "partially spelled word" part....it can bite you in the.........behind..... Just go on as normal, you just have to stop your thoughts before they reach your fingers, then make sure nothing slips out. If it looks questionalbe...use something else. Take it from me, I have learned and found notes in my email from Top explaining this to me. I think he has finally beaten it through my thick skull!! Thanks for not kicking me off the planet Top!!!

I applaud you and the rest of the admins for enforcing this Top. I like a site that is OK for my 7 yr old son to sit and look at with me.

Thanks Mike, thats the reason we do it.

This site is getting 2 million hits a day world wide and we have many women and children as members. We just want the place friendly for them as well.

Nah, it's okay. I have written permission from the website owners that it's okay to reproduce information.

So, all this began with what is just one the latest wastes of taxpayers dollars - legislation regarding fake Bull's Parts on trucks in MD? Just a week or so ago AZ failed to pass similar legislation, their debate was quite lengthy, and included more than Bull's parts, chrome pieces forund on mudflaps that were sexually suggestive, bumper stickers with suggestive pics and phrases, flags other than our national symbol - to include confederate and Mexican, etc. Here in NM our legislators spent tons of legislative time AND tax dollars debating/declaring our state tie - the bolo into an official declaration.

Wouldn't one think that there might be more important issues for our states to be pondering? They should leave all the other less-important things for us to ponder (like the fake Bull's parts maybe). I get it that we ae kind of like the family channel on this site, and I further am very happy to see so many people enjoying this site-adults and children alike. Maybe we need a single topic area-with a password protection-just for these type of adult topics? Also, rather than get in some kind of copywrite issue, why not just post the link to the article? If it is one of these 'testy' type issues, make a reference that it is. By the way, the Bull's parts stuff made a front page picture on one of the MD papers, really stirred up people, so I can see where it is truly a 'testy' topic, but a funny one none-the-less.
