Right now, your doing more to turn people away from your way of thinking. If you're going to preach it, you should live it too.
You are the only person to ever say that I was "preaching" anything. I'm opinionated. Does that make me a "preacher"? Maybe in your book, but not in mine. I've never looked down my nose at anyone, except for one person on this entire board that I truly don't like. That doesn't mean that I'm also going to sit here and let you or anyone else blast me w/o a rebuttal either. I deal with people the exact same way they deal with me. Ask anyone. If you come at me sideways, well then I return the kindness. If you come at me straight, I do the same. That's far from being a hypocrite like you called me, it's actually being the opposite.

You are the first and only person I've ever heard of that says that a comment such as "____ can suck my dick..." is a "figure of speech". If you didn't mean that, then say you didn't mean that, but don't say it's a "figure of speech" because we both know it isn't.

BTW, I don't come into these discussions looking for followers, friends, or converts. I voice my opinion and that's it. Some people agree, a lot don't. Such is life. I still consider many people, even those that disagree strongly with me, my friends. The only prerequisite of being a friend in my book is respect, not aggreance. I respect their views, even if they are not the same as mine. But if you disrespect someone, then it's a completely different ball game IMO.

So, if you think I somehow disrespected YOU, let me know and we'll see about that. If I didn't, then you were out of line for coming at me sideways like that.
