Just to let you know that I am permanently signing off of Swaylock’s. Unprovoked invective and insults are totally unacceptable in any arena of my life.
The vast majority of you have been really enjoyable. Live Aloha.

You’ll be missed mate.
Seems no matter where we go there are trolls. Cyberspace is full of them.
They sure get in the way of straightforwardness.
When it gets crazy I either ignore the idiots, but sometimes I just paddle away.
Pissing matches do nothing but foul the water.
Thanks for all your insights ~ hope you change your mind.
Mahalo, Rich
Jeff,
cmp is playing the part of beer swilling devil’s advocate. I have talked to him, one to one, and he, like some of my posts, must be taken with a grain of sand, or is that salt?
I won’t accept your decision, unless you have no stomach for the leading edge of the revolution. You are needed at this time for clarification and reiterative strength of resolve.
Just leave names of current politicos and policy makers and other hot buttons out of your posts, instead refer to a historical/recorded/acceptable but similar situation/example…

Wha he say?
Its a fine line deciding what is appropriate and what is not. Looks like the moderators missed it on this one.
Hopefully the parties involved can shake and come back smiling.
TTM, don’t go. I need you to translate. I don’t speak Ambrose all that good jist yet.
You and he play this marvelous peotic volleyball game every now & then. He posts his cryptic observations and you punctuate them with a bit of brevity.
If you thought those few words of yours were floating, unappreciated, in the ether of Swaylocks, they are not.
Your voice is, unfortunately, one of the few who are truly tuned in to the beauty of stopping to eat the roses.
you sound like me a few months back. The others helped me process the wierdness to the point that I paddled back out for a few. It is sill sketchy sometimes, but I figure it’s a big world and it’s not that bad if all we have to worry about is a few shoulder hoppers here and there.
I figure both of you guys a smart men
Speaking of epac, and a few months back:
Never in the history of man have we had so much exposure to others’ state of being. - Ambrose
And forgiveness is the forward motion of the soul. - Tiki
And, my god - the words-o-wisdom you used to still my beating heart in the “Philosophical” thread, priceless…
I agree…
Stay…It’s a lot more fun having you here than there.

If all were in agreement on all matters, this would be a POS site. Everyone, including your “antagonist”, has a right to be wrong in either an absolute sense or in a subjective, defensive, misinterpretive sense…and, often enough, they are. You can ignore the misinterpretations…or waste your time in attempting to more fully explain what you believed to be sufficiently clear to begin with…or cast aspersions on their intellectual/comprehensive faculties. Any…all…would be valid responses. YOU are neither responsible for, nor diminished by, their ignorance or stupidity…except, perhaps, if you choose to withdraw from the battlefield. This, while righteous, could, would, be subject to misinterpretation…
Choose wisely, for YOURSELF…EFF everyone else!
This post has 551 hits so far.
That means that some of us are interested in what you have to say…

Bye , next better player pls …
Gotta say… I have mistaken posts on here for trolling and, even abuse.
But then, some have probably mistaken some of mine for the same.
How you choose to interpret things is key in this medium. Which lacks tone.
I choose to believe that miscommunication has occurred. I choose to apologise immediately and unreservedly if minunderstood.
“I reject your reality and substitute my own”.

Too many morons in the world to check out whenever you come across one. Better to employ the Yahoo method and hit the ignore button. Too bad Swaylocks doesn’t have one, but it’s easy to just form a search pattern for the icon of whomever it is you can’t stomach and just ignore them.
Yes - ignore always has been a powerful tool.
The more places that implement it the mroe polite people are forced to become.
But it doesn’t really bother me.
My mind has its own inbulit “ignore”
