Listen, Smoke, you arrogant little twit, you've been bashing away at folks who're nearing retirement age, some in their thirties, some in their forties...........you get the picture. You wanna wage a war of words and (supposedly) wits with people who've truly "been there, done that"? I'd think twice, if I were you.
These folks are truly some of the best friends you'll ever have, unless you manage to alienate them. I think you're awfully close on a few fronts. I have witnessed the ban hammer coming out, and it sticks! Doc knows his stuff and when he says he'll keep you out, he ain't whistlin' in the wind. Big Dog and the other mods are as savvy as he, and not nearly as forgiving either.
You've managed to insult people's intelligence, you've set yourself up as superior to them, expertise-wise, which you are not.
Let me give you some friendly advice; Quit being such a smartass and settle down for a bit. Talk with these folks, yeah, even debate with them in a civil and intelligent way. You'd be surprised at how willing they are to hear your viewpoints and reasonings, as well as expressing their own. At the rate you're going, we'll be here long after the dust has settled from the ass paddling you'll get and your whimpering has calmed down to a sob.
These people are friends of mine and if you screw with them, you screw with me. What's that mean? Well, Mister, if I ever see you stranded beside the road because you thought the "E" on the guage on your mom's Pinto meant "Enought", I'll just wave and drive on by.
Now, when you've grown up and actually gotten some balls, take us on again.
Should you decide to change your ways and be a contributing factor to this forum, forget everything I've said and enjoy a warm "Welcome" from me.
It's your choice.
The bann buttons work around here!
