Moderators here can learn how NOT to insult posters.

Not that moderators would ever insult posters.

I kind of feel sorry for your for posting this thread. I mean it's not even close to being clever or threatening to the person its directed at (me). I'm just not feeling the pressure at all, dahermit. Maybe you can try to catch me doing something else like running a red light or something, cuz you got nothing here.

Feel free to include YOUR comment that I was replying to. Pretty dishonest to not put that in there, man.

All this stuff starting with my question was just a lame attempt at humor. As was the posting of this latest thread. I was not meant to be taken seriously. If I offended you, I offer my apology. I just like to see a little humor now and then. Nevertheless, my sincere apology.

I'll put my cards on the table for a second here.

You asked me if I consider myself black because it is en vogue, or something like that. I don't know how I would normally receive that sort of question, even from my friends. However, I took two things into account when I decided what tone to reply to you with: (1) your comment that seemed to support segregation in high school proms on another thread, and (2) the fact that you used this

instead of this

when you asked the question. That's what I took into account when I made my reply. I was not certain whether you deserved it or not, but I didn't think that I should have been put in that situation anyway.

Water under the bridge though. We can just call it even.

You are right. One of my faults is being impulsive. I should not have interjected an attempt at humor in a serious discussion. No offense was intended.

It's OK. I'm also a bit over-sensitive at times. I guess we all have our character flaws.

Yaaaaa - I just got demerits or whatever from DeBois for a little good-natured teasing. Who made him a moderator, any way??

Now you know that what you consider good natured teasing is against the forum rules. The admin appoints all mods.

Good lesson for all. The internet is a dangerous place to try humor.

I suspect that Aegis didn't catch the humor in my posts. His are hilarious however. He still has not realized that the central bankers are in the process of running the world table.

Pretty hopeless if you have not figured that out yet.
