I think Viking got the PC ban for too many :bash :bash :bash :bash
Seriously, I was so bummed to see that they banished the Viking. no one should be banned from a community website for voicing his/her opinions! I love to see people get passionate about things, even if i don't agree with them.
So i am really happy to see so many familiar avatars here on 285Bound!
(and yes, i've had several moderator spankings over there at that other site : Embarrassed: )

And it was awesome hanging out with everyone else too - it did feel like a group of old friends and the future looks bright! Lunch next week?!
Yes I ran to the chiropractor and the bank after you left, then I went back to meet a client and couple others and sat and visited all night. That place is really growing on me. And FYI, we had a long talk and the owner knows a few of the kniks he has to work out and loves our input. He is fixing things daily and it has only been a week. So I think that will be a great place for a long time to come.

This cannot be accomplished with name-calling, sweeping generalizations, demeaning attitudes toward others, or without being backed up by independent, credible data (in some cases) and this is where I saw a lot of the modification coming in on Pinecam. I've seen much improvement in the posts of some who used to just outright dismiss me, and others, and/or my/their views, but I see room for more improvement too. My goal was a subtle attempt to get y'all to be a little more like me in your postings - without them being as long as mine cuz I hate reading that much! Then we can really have some fun!
LOL, But Viking does use name-calling, sweeping generalizations, demeaning attitudes toward others, and does post without backing up it up with independent, credible data (in some cases) but we love him anyway. That is no reason to get suspended or banned. LOL
Just kidding Viking. I am sorry I could not resist.
Hey!! What you singling me out in that one for? You need to meet us for lunch next week when we get together again.

Yes but the real question is.........did you like it?

Do they have good fixins for football lunches, say when the Vikes play the Pack?

I know!
And I told him flat out that sometimes I want to chuck something at his head when he does that! lol He has improved a bunch though and I gave him credit for that, but here's my new emoticon for him when he pulls that crap again (cuz I know he can take it without getting his panties in a bunch!)

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
