No, it's not that I'm offended, not at all. I actually like a good tirade at times. It's more that I think you have some good points to make and imo they hit harder when brought in a calm and confident way. But no need to apologize at all.Quote from ratboy88:
i apologize for my language, it was in direct response to neophyte's chosen "curse word." but if it is offensive to you i will make an effort to avoid doing so in the future.
I dunno, in my experience anger is always connected to fear somehow, just like old Yoda said. You know it is irrational to be angry because it won't help in reaching your goal. Find out why you are willing to take that risk.honestly i dont think it has anything to do with fear on this board. anger may be a response to fear in a star wars movie according to yoda but wanting the truth to reach the people is an honorable pursuit. if i dont come across like Mr Rogers it is because the stakes are so high now. little babies have their limbs ripped off their bodies over in the middle east while pseudo liberals and neocons yuck it up at the local starbucks arguing about arcane issues regarding nothing that makes a *&^% bit of difference.
Again, I don't mind, it's just that your arguments would be much more powerful, like a real Jedi
. Btw. I think the pursuit is very honorable indeed and the stakes are high. Let the blows not miss their target.Ursa..
