Sorry Steve H, I was too lazy to go back and look. It was Steve W's posts at 12:42 a.m. and 1:13 a.m. I apologize for the confusion. My mistake.

Sorry to disappoint you Jerry, but I do have a life, but Thanks anyway for your snide remarks. I don't need to explain anything to you and who is us? You know what you can do with your numbers and letters. I haven't yet figured out how Rush can post when Lou is out getting signatures for a petition. Maybe you can enlighten me. Also, no comment regarding stalking or threatening phone calls. Those actions must be okay by you and yours. Why do you hate me so much when you've never even met me or know nothing about me. Or isthat just your nature?

Kerry - Regarding your comment - I don't think you meant me. If you did, - I would be curious to know what namecalling I was guilty of. "I will admit that I have, in the past, been guilty of personal attacks. I have cleaned up my act and have refrained from such behavior for several months now. I will also admit that I think that Rush's and 'dylan's' comments have also done so. But, I will also state that namecalling and use of profanity by Jerry H, namecalling by Steve (H??), attacks against family members and religious beliefs by many others, are equally unacceptable"

You are right, it is a reasonable assumption but I was just babbling my opinion of what happens here daily. Sorry about that.

LL L, I assumed that your post at 4:12 ("Calling for peace on the board is one thing, calling people out and prodding them over and over again to answer questions is badgering. We are not required to go to confession here are we? Nobody is required to answer anybody else's questions. We are here on a comment board to make comments and give our opinions. Badgering is not making peace.") was referring to my pressing mike j to answer my questions. It sure seems to be a reasonable assumption. Sorry if it was an incorrect one.

Kerry, firstly I did not mention you by name. I believe I said that one side badgers and the other side refuses to be badgered. Calling you out, No, if I was calling you out personally I would do exactly that and name you. Would I defend Gretchen? Never is this lifetime. Would I defend Rush? Never in this lifetime. I have defended you and your opinions several times over the years. That Gretchen would use the fact that she has personal knowledge about steve w and his child and post it here is absolutely uncalled for and she deserves what she dishes out. The fact that steve told her she would get what she is dishing out is fair in my eyes. He would have to be a fool to allow her to continue while he sits and wrings his hands. Either stop it or pay the consequences. As for Rush, get real!! Do I think that everything Jerry says is innocent. Of course not. How they got there and who is to blame is not for me to decide. Am I at fault too, you betcha but I am not going to let any bully keep me from giving my opinions. My very first post on this board received an instant attack from Gretchen running down my post. I had a choice right from day one and that was to either dish it out or to let her s--t on me. I was not attacked by anyone else. Jerry did not attack me, mike did not attack me and actually Rush has not attacked me either but he says disgusting things to most people that don't belong here and I will not defend it. As for Gretchen, she has crossed the line with me time and time again. There will be no days that I will be defending her for any reason. I don't support any of her views, I am disgusted by her behavior in general. . Before this got totally out of hand I found Jerry's posts to always be informative and intelligent with a sense of humor. I found Gretchen to be copy and paste and any other comments were beligerent, ugly and accusing others of everything under the sun. She is only pleasant to those that back her in undermining Jerry. Presently that would be Rush

Mike, you have been one of the biggest instigators on this site. If not for you, I think Jerry would be a pretty regular type. Still, you seem to egg him on. Do you have some kind of 'control' issue? Or what?
