After the inauguration, you will be required to read every thread started and sign off that you read it all and understand the points being made.

Sorry, out of our hands......Washington is mandating this.

I view you as a source of entertainment. I could put you on ignore, but frankly, yo like a car wreck. I just have see how stupid you get day by day.
So far, you are amazing me!
I actually agree with you. I'm not sure why he feels the need to protect you...but he clearly was yesterday, no?

In fact, he seemed more upset about it all than you did. Weird...

Oh, when the polls were rigged to favor Hillary, we had plenty of libs posting here. Funny, after Trump! pulled down their pants, most disappeared.
We will see who is laughing in about a year when you all realize you got sold a lemon.

Naw...I think I might be able to come up with something that will suit me a little better.

Good idea PA....delete the evidence of all you were saying yesterday to me privately.
I didn't delete a thing. I just banned your access to PM. Anything you have to say, you can say out in the open. Wouldn't want you spreading more lies.

And speaking of PMs, you told me after your last PM to me to not bother responding, since you won't be back to read it.

Didn't take long for you to backtrack on that promise. Good boy. I need the hits to keep cashing those monster checks.

You altered my posts to fit your agenda and protect your lies and disabled my pm's. Yeah that sure is fair

People know the truth, which is all that matters to me.

I know, I know, you won. I get it.

But if your life does not improve. If things become worse. If he doesn't fulfill his promises will that be worth it?

Are you guys that far gone?

I said that up front - expect nothing, just keep Hillary out.
Anything else is gravy.
Worst case, nothing changes.
That is still better than Hillary.

I altered your post to troll you, like you are trolling me, which you admitted to doing in one of our various PMs to each other yesterday.

You're a self-described troll.

That's the only truth to come out of you lately.

We don't agree on this and that will always be ok. We have some excellent writers here at Pace Advantage. Class, as I mentioned is one, Thask's fine writing skill was established long, long ago and Rich Halvey is every bit equal to the aforementioned two, as is Boxie. These four, along with others that don't just write, with every reply, a three sentence "drive by" with little to nothing to support their points? They are valuable. Rich and Boxie may be retired, I'm not sure; though, I'm pretty sure Class and Thask are not.

I understand what you're saying about full work loads of 40 to 50 hours a week. I get that. Too, this can be easily seen as another place solely for entertainment. Yet, even in the realm of entertaining ourselves, we usually take time for what matters to us. Some of us do a better job than others, some of us can commit more time than others.

I don't want to term anyone as going on and on and on. Not when I've gleaned something from their efforts, and the majority of the time, I do.

There is one other thing worth noting. I pay attention to the number of posters/guests online here. And, as well, to what they are reading, where they are reading. It is rare that the numbers in Off Topic stand at 130 to 150 as it has in recent weeks. .... There's a reason for this, Elka. Much of what is being written is more than worthwhile. And I thank each one who shares their thoughts. If they were on debate teams in school, they had to have fared well.

The internet, whether here or on social media, is what we're stuck with today. It ain't like we're all gonna gather at a symposium. So, we do the best we can at our favorite hotspots.

Edit to add: How could I forget JohnHannibal !!! Another great writer.

*The Internet is NOT the proper vehicle for a lengthy serial monologue on political subjects. Face to face discussions are the best way to get points across in a calm and friendly manner. The Internet (forums and such) are best used for brief comments or linking news items. This forum and others are best served as such. Again, the Internet simply isn't the best vehicle to carry on lengthy posts.

You and SoCalFan (Diane) are pure gold. I couldn't get mad at either of you even if I tried. Only woman I respect more than the two of you is my wife.

We'll agree to disagree on lengthy posts, for sure. A PA poster here locally that I met at lone star is as liberal as it gets here. We used to spar online over politics during the week, then see each other at the track. Talk politics for maybe two minutes max, our positions were covered in a civil manner... Then we'd go about betting and talking horses.

My experience (just my experience) has been nothing gets resolved in online forums, be it politics or football... But once a real conversation begins, people begin to see the other side of things.

But I do love this forum. JR's links, NJ Stinks non emotional comments about the left side of things..., it all makes for a great board.

There are several people on this site that you could say that to. Why are you singling one particular person out?
