I'm not VL and I actually take Outdoors comment "Still want to meet next week, have several that would love to meet you" as a threat. I go to almost every VFW breakfast, and I'm very pissed off that he should bring discussions that are on here into the personal arena, especially something as fun and community oriented as the VFW breakfast. What does he intend to do, have a mob waiting for me when I show up with my family. I've asked Science Chic to PM him and explain to him that I am not VL put other than that, I don't know how to make him see the truth.

+1.
I read today in the Week that the DEA was doing something similar to the ATF. They would take bundles of laundered cash into Mexico and deposit it in drug kingpin's bank accounts. If you know the drug guy's bank acount, why can't you just arrest him? Instead, typical goverment logic, they are giving taxpayer money to drug dealers. Whose side are they on?

GOP, do you feel that people want to hurt VL? I sure don't. Is VL a clown? Have you ever taken him seriously? Just consider you learned a good lesson in humility today (I will explain that in private), you can buy me breakfast next Sunday when we meet. GOP, SC sent me a PM explaining that you were not VL, I owe you an apology, now we can be friends again! :notworthy: :hands:

Apology accepted. But I didn't learn anything, you don't have to explain it to me, and I'm not buying you jack. But I will buy the whole family breakfast, like I usually do. See you there, Maybe you send me a PM and I'll give you some info to identify me.

She is well aware of which users are who on 285 Bound and she can inform you privately or publicly to the fact that I'm not VL. I expect a public apology when you get your facts straight.
No, unless someone tells me themselves, or their posts are obviously the same as someone else's, I am not "well aware" of who is who on here - everyone has a right to their anonymity. As you yourself have explained, you are Dr Fill on Pinecam, but there's no way for me to know for absolute sure that you aren't VL who started that nic 2 years ago. However, I am sure that you aren't him though, because VL has never privately whined to me to fix his problems that he's gotten himself into, he takes it like a man (a narcissistic, fake-outraged, button-pushing man, but a man nonetheless).
I find it very interesting that almost all of the recently locked threads in the Study were yours...how is it that they haven't banned you yet?
The mods here don't operate the same as Pinecam, if you want people to give you credit and treat you nicely, be civil yourself or expect to get called on your behavior.

Simple. Because most of the time I'm being quite civil on Pinecam. Most of the threads I have started and then have been locked has been due to two Pinecam users that actually make a concerted effort to get my threads locked. Since Pinecam takes a zero tolerance policy to taunts and uncivil conversation, it doesn't take more than one or two snarky comments to get a thread shut down. Other than those two mentioned people, most of Pinecamers are very civil. More like drugged, but civil, and my conversations are productive. Unlike here, where you allow a more feisty blend of commenters. And unlike here, where I will respond in kind to those feisty comments.

Got it sweetheart?
You mean civil like you've been on
here
? The posters in that thread made neutral comments and you called them stupid for not reading your linked article - yeah, that's civil of you.
I'm often hearing from conservatives that they, and not liberals, are all about personal responsibility and not blaming others for your woes (which I think is total bunk, BTW)... You have a free choice of how to respond to others; I'm guessing, based on your tone here, that you played a part in those threads being locked since you've stated quite clearly that you "respond in kind". Hell, you even insult those who reply to you civilly, claiming they must be drugged - you have such a high opinion of those who live here!
This sweetheart has definitely got it! :thumbsup:
