Hey there JD...I know you mean well, never thought otherwise. I'm just flabberghasted by all of this. At least you feel tremors b4 an earthquake, I never saw this coming and it was over just as quick...devastatingly over...just kind'a tough to wrap my mind around it all...hopefully ppl will chill out and reason will creep in and make things better in time...as I posted, I'm getting tired of losing my friends over stupid shit!!

I am no important than any of the newest member here. I have a "passion" for this website and all of you(except for the trouble makers obviously) in it. I have no "ego" and I do not think that I am some "cyber bully" here,I just want to make these trouble makers aware that if they cause trouble there will be a response from myself and that alone is a consequence without "ego" if you will.
If that makes me look "egotistical" than that is the risk " I " take for a sacrifice for all of you...my friends. That is why I have such a passion for all of you here at J.P.com...I read everybody's posts...not one I skip..ect...I may not respond to everyone but that does'nt mean that I don't read them and most of all "enjoy them".
I know that there are some that quietly do not care for me,and that is the sacrifice that I alone chose to uphold. I sacrifice myself for every one of you...even if I have not yet spoke to you out there...I care about everybody here.And if I am at fault for something,I will step up to the plate and I will issue an apology without question. If I caused anyone to "leave" here,I am sorry for that,but you must understand my passion and philosophy for the integrity of this wonderful place. I thank each and every one of you for putting up with me,I am your family here and I will back up and defend each and every one of you without question,even if I have to take a beating for it. You guys make my day...every day.

I completely agree that we should simply ignore idiots. Absolutely. But with J.D., we have a LONG time member that will step in for any of us at anytime and, sometimes, that is even better than an ignore..... | | ronhartsell wrote: | | Why do we need a resident pit bull when we have an ignore button? I thought that it was wiser and more powerful than anything that can be said (posted)? And if things get that messy, we've got the report abuse button, eh? | | Deep Freeze wrote: | | Well now, who says you can't hide from your problems??? HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gave up and went to bed and this morning I see everyone made nice!! WOOHOO!!!
I hope that my ranting of last night was taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Nothing upsets me more than seeing needless bickering amongst our membership...especially because of a person that does not really even exist in our world any longer!! Man! I will say this, IF I ever decide to leave this place and not return, I hope I have even half the influence this guy appears to have!!! WOW!
Allow me to say, for the record, that I know J.D. personally. He is not a trouble maker. He is a valued member of this Board. He can be a bit "edgy", but that is his style. I like to refer to him as our resident pit bull. If there are trouble makers lurking, he is "sitting on the porch" waiting! WOE be to ANY idiot that comes here looking for a fight! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course, with such a beast at our disposal, there is always the chance he will growl without realizing it is a friendly hand petting him! That is the price we pay for such a dominant guardian!! It is well worth it!
I am so thankful that all has settled down and we are back to our "loving" selves. Do not forget that there really are those that lurk, waiting to come here, create false identities and try to manifest the events we witnessed last night. They are a reality. We must be prepared. We have our "guard dog" and we have one another. Let's not forget that.
