Exactly who are you to advise me?

You don't care for stuff I post don't read it.

What I do with my time and my life isn't any of your business Sir.

Maybe you can buy a life from someone else?

If  you post a lot, you are posting about nonsense.  Nobody has that much interesting to talk about every day.

It basically become board spam.

I think Wrag posts lots of interesting stuff here.

(going by post count, and doing some basic math, it appears you post more on average per. day here than Wrag does.  Stop spamming the BBS Dago.  Go buy a life would ya'?)

Really?

You have over 4000 post and I have abit over 2000 so how you figure?

As to nonsense, perhaps you see it that way but not everyone agrees.

So perhaps you should stop trying to be a moderator and mind your own business?

They don't use the tax they collect now on roads..  what makes you think they will use the increase on roads.

The money goes into the general fund and about half goes to roads.   There is some slight of hand to make it look like more goes to roads but really... about half does.

We have more and more social programs and no money to fund em.   Every avenue is explored to extort more money from those who can pay to feed the machine.

Getting back to the original point:

There are two things you should realize:

1. 40c on a gallon would still keep US gas prices lower than most of the developed world. I'm not saying its right, but you'll be surprised by the ability of people to absorb the cost. Of course, all those F150's might have to be traded for for Fiats. :O

2. The quality of roads in the USA are shocking - a real eye-opener. Los Angeles freeways in particular are appalling.

I like the way they use time as a reason to increase taxes ie not since 93.

My thought is if tax was 99.9% and they hadn't raised it for 10 years should they? I mean it's been a full 10 years.

Since you haven't observed the obvious, post count is a combination of your posts, and all the replies to your originated threads.

Seems you don't get many replies when you spam the board with boring stuff.  Maybe I get more replies when I do post, because I don't post 6 times a day with nonsense?  And don't bother to take into account I have been active on this board at least 3 years longer than you.

Try not to let the obvious escape you.

Pyro used to enforce a "start one thread per day maximum" rule.  It was a good rule for obvious reasons.

OBVIOUS hmmmm here are some things that I think SHOULD be OBVIOUS to you Sir....

Dago If you have some sort of problem with me perhaps you should take it up with HTC.

OR

Perhaps you would care to explain what exactly that problem might be.

Is it that I post stuff that makes you angry?  Is that it?

Is it a political thing?

Are you trying to blame me for your boredom?  

Are you trying to say it's my fault that your life somehow makes reading my post a problem for you?



This, to me, is VERY OBVIOUS....

If the stuff I post is boring, or irritating to you then perhaps you should ignore them?


Here, this is also OBVIOUS to most people.........

YOU do know that you could actually say to yourself ... wrag has posted something, I don't care for the stuff wrag posts, so I'll ignore that post!

It really shouldn't be too difficult!



Isn't it also OBVIOUS that.....

IMHO Your view of what is and isn't interesting does not make everyones world Sir.



This should be OBVIOUS too.........

I really don't care what your opinion of my posts is.

IMHO Since I have no desire to POLICE your postings, or anyone else's perhaps you should reciprocate?  Perhaps you have heard of the phrase of live and let live?

A comment regarding what was posted is one thing, but complaining that the post actually happened, that it exist, is a bit much IMHO.



I also consider this to be OBVIOUS....

It's called free speech by some.  Don't want to read it?  Then by all means don't read it!   If HTC wants to police the post then HTC has the right, it is their BBS, BUT NOT YOU!


And of course I think the following is OBVIOUS to most people............

You do realize you could even ignore my post?

You do realize that it might even make you happier in the future if you did so.

Is that OBVIOUS enough for you?

Gee, sure sorry if I hurt your feelings, I take the above as a cry for help, or at least a textual manner of crying.

This whole thing started because I think it seems pretty ridiculous when I look at the list of threads and one guy has started at least 4 of the 10 newest, and he is basically posting links to other stuff.  

What enters my mind is "that geek needs to get a life".  And you do.  Now stop your whimpering and go meet a girl.

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Hurt my feelings?  Naw.

What you think doesn't matter Sir.

Your opinion that something seems pretty ridicules is just that, your opinion.

You are quite welcome to stop your whining and complaining and ignore my post in the future, and go meet a girl. :lol

As to 4 post out of 10, I don't post all that often.  But sometimes I see MANY things that SEEM to hit all at once.  On that particular day 4 things came up.  You might note someone else posted a duplicate post on one of those things.  This was called to my attention.  I didn't see the duplicate.  If I had I would have only posted 3.

BTW does it occur to you that some else ALSO thought the item linked was worthy of posting for discussion?

Further the post all had to do with things that can, and usually do, affect all of us now or later.

Politicians that want to increase taxs, ban things, make silly things a FELONY, and otherwise do what IMHO are stupid, or irresponsible  things, are NOT my favorite people.

When I see such things I call attention to them.

I get the impression you didn't even read the posts?

Or are you one of those people that think whatever a politician does MUST be for our own good?

You don't like it?   AGAIN ignore............

As to a problem, IMHO it's all yours Sir.  

As IMHO there was/is NO PROBLEM, but there is someone whining about too many posts.

A cry for help?  Me?  Naw.  Although I'm wonder if the reverse isn't true?

And I did try to do my best to inform you of a way for you to AVOID having this problem.

Apparently, it SEEMS, you prefer to KEEP HAVING THE PROBLEM.

I don't care if you like it or not, I don't care if you think there are too many post or not, I will post items I think are relevant, that may have a negative affect on our freedoms and liberty and income, and some times I will post stuff that makes me laugh with the intention of sharing the laugh with others.

IF you are having some kind of problem with that, then, I AGAIN suggest to you that you try just ignoring me and tend to your own life.

"The crisis is now," the report states.

Any report from any level of government that includes this statement should be grounds for taking the members of the panel and members of the body that requested the study to the nearest grove of trees and stringing them up. It becomes OUR fault they mismanaged OUR money and faild to uphold THEIR oaths of office to serve and protect the interest of We the People. So on the basis of misdirection of resposibility we get HOSED.

Wrag and Dago. Time out. Both of you.  To your rooms for 24 hours. I'll bring your dinner/breakfast/lunch to you when its time.

I like you both. I hate to see you squabble. Both of you add valuable content to the BBS. Now stop it before I ground you longer.

What I found odd rip was that they both post similar content.

Again, your hurt feelings generate a wall of text that can easily be considered indicative of a wound up cry for help.
