Thank you, joe. You're absolutely right in that we should just move on and ignore the loser. I can assure you that Murray will be reading the exchanges and he will act. I sincerely hope he does not decide to simply shut down the Board! He has considered this in the past as a direct result of this kind of nonsense and, quite frankly, I would not blame him. He is NOT a babysitter and I KNOW this kind of garbage irritates him to no end. Let's hope he does not act drastically.
You are all aware of my views on the treatment of women. I am a gentleman. Women deserve respect, period. If they are foul or disrespectful, ignore them. But never, ever resort to the disgusting behavior we witnessed this morning. It is simply not acceptable. A gentleman...a MAN, does not act in this manner towards a woman. Period. It was abuse. No different than hitting a woman. Abuse.
It certainly says a lot for our membership that we all come together in defense of one of our own. I do not NEED to know the "whole" story because this Board is NOT the place to air a personal quarrel of this nature. That is just how it is. My sincere congratulations to the membership of JP.com for our behavior. If I do not see you all again because Murray closes us down, know that I love you all!

I've never believed in attacking someone to that degree no matter what the situation that the attacker thinks that he has been justified in doing so. And to speak to a lady/woman... To speak to any fellow human being in that mannor and to show your "ugly side" with some of the posts made is just so awful. I've remained silent because I do not like to get involved in these squables on the board. However, I just can't sit here and keep quiet when watchng how a fellow board member is being so viciously victimized. First and foremost, I'm a member here because I want to be in the company of fellow Priest fans. I've grown to think of many of the people I've met here as a second family and it hurts to see the fighting going on.
I shudder to think of what newcomers like Udo must think of us. I only hope that he doesn't put all of us in the same class as the resident trouble causers here.
Might I suggest that we no longer fuel this individuals fire? Answering back and allowing him to ruffle anyone's feathers anymore is just giving him what he wants.
Susan, I believe that you are a respectable, articulate and very pleasant person. Do not let one person have such control of your time spent here. Pay him no more attention. You are a lady and you at least know how to act like one. Your friends will stand by you and support you.
Peace & Love

It is absolutely appalling that grown adults act in a manner such as we witnessed earlier. Someone even reminded me that these cretins have children! Can you imagine what kind of child a person like that raises??? Ugh.
This place is a public forum. I understand that. I accept it. As such, isn't there a level of decorum we should expect in the behavior of the people that post? I do not expect the younger set to follow this rule but, lately, the younger members of this Board have demonstrated FAR more manners and dignity than some of the adults!!!!!!
We have endured trouble makers and mentally deficients here in the past. I do believe we will again, someday. Murray does an excellent job weeding out the vermin and keeping them out but, as was also mentioned to me earlier, until the trouble makers themselves get tired of it and just go away, there is not much we can do to stop them. They will continue to post here, searching for the attention they cannot earn in the real world. These are the despised. The low-lifes. The diseased- of- mind that permeate our society, insidiously infecting us with their vitriol and spewing out offspring that continue their legacy of gutless, misguided bile.
I hope that all of the regular members will remember that we are united. We are a family. No one idiot can change that. In times of strife, we come together, as family should. We hold to our belief that we are one and we will not be broken by the babbling of an un-educated, spineless Neanderthal or three.
