I thought he was behaving badly and therefore my comments were meant to provoke but they were tongue-in-cheek as well.
He could have had a sense of humor with his response but chose not to. My personal opinion is that he was drinking/drunk throughout this entire exchange.
I have plenty of relatives that have and are serving in the military and no one knows my views on that subject from anything Iāve said in this thread.
Sure, itās politically correct to fall all over ourselves to thank a veteran for their service. Itās kind of hard to do that with someone who is already patting themselves on the back, is angry, and sarcastic from the start.
I looked at what I wrote to see if there was something that I could or should edit. I see nothing factually incorrect so Iāve let it stand.
IMHO you shouldnāt cancel any post, just strikethrought what is wrong/off topic, and write edit when you add something, thatās the way to have comprehensive threads and if you can, learn the english if you want post in international forums, for experience not all are in the mood and your sympathy is ever appreciate xD
ā¦is also better read what you write first of Save it
funny that thread is all for kreisler I bet that he is pride of that not in guilty ā¦also for that he is funny xD
I get the impression Kreisler likes to stir up controversy with some of his posts... but he never lashes out when he is "caught" by using strong language, I give him that. On the other hand he made some nice contributions in form of lengthy,thorough reviews and tries to get us some good deals, which is nice. So far his positive contributions to the forum outweigh the "trollish/shillish tendencies" of him... but he is of a special breed... that's for sure.
The good ole Thorazine shuffle! I know a poor fellow on that shit & his steps are about 1 inch apart (quite the sad sight) takes him 15 min to answer the door. This is a flashlight forum? I see people talking about āpillsā I thought it was a drug forum. IāM in the wrong place.
āHe could have had a sense of humor with his response but chose not to. My personal opinion is that he was drinking/drunk throughout this entire exchange.ā
I donāt drink. The VA does not give me mind bending drugs and I donāt self medicate. There was nothing funny about what you said. Over 57,000 Good People died there for a cause very few of us have figured out yet. Glad you think it was funny and see humor in your uncalled for comment.
āI have plenty of relatives that have and are serving in the military and no one knows my views on that subject from anything Iāve said in this thread.ā
Be sure to thank your relatives for their service for me (seriously). You very clearly showed your āviews on that subjectā. As did I.
āI looked at what I wrote to see if there was something that I could or should edit. I see nothing factually incorrect so Iāve let it stand.ā
DITTO.
I am not reliving the 60ās. For the record, I was there 1970-72. I not quite as old as some of you seem to think. I turned 18 in Saigon. Iām not even 60 yet and still in excellent, butt kicking shape. I still cross lines many of you would be afraid to even approach. Keep on thinking Iām some doddering old invalid. You couldnāt be more wrong. I see where some of you trash me for the things I said to gcbryan and then proceed to do the exact same thing to me even though you had no skin in the argument. There is a strong smell of HIPOCRISY in the air. I hate hipocrites.
Please don't label people that have a different political view than yourself as hypocrites... in fact try to avoid political subjects as suggested by the site rules. We are a multi-national forum, so please try to remember that. I am sure that you have strong feelings and opinions towards this subject, but BLF is not the time or the place to bring them up... enjoy the flashlights.
āPlease donāt label people that have a different political view than yourself as hypocritesā¦ in fact try to avoid political subjects as suggested by the site rulesā.
Never once did I mention politics. Ever. Re-read my comments and get it right or butt out. You seem confused. I donāt care at all about anybody elses political views. Not even a little bit. Also, look up the word āhypocritesā. I donāt think you know what it means.
I love it when dummies talk about āThe Vietnam Warā. That comment alone tells me all I need to know about the person that made it.
Hereās a quick educational moment for the uninformed and misinformed. THERE WAS NO VIETNAM WAR!! The U.S. Congress never declared war on Vietnam. It was ruled to be a āconflictā. Get your facts right or get out.
Oh, and stop talking about politics. We have rules here Ya know!
This may, indeed, be entirely true, but the so called war had nothing to do with the differing view points expressed; it was initially mentioned only in regard to where Yellowhorse served. Only two barely related topics were being discussed in the last few posts, near as I can discern. The messy merits of free speech and whether societies owe debt to the members of the armed services which write blank checks and then do what is asked of them in our name.
It might be time to virtually hug it out and exchange recipes for baked goods. I know I could use a snack about now.
Vectrex - ālogical arguingā Hmmm. Iām thinking that to actually have a logical argument, the facts and truth must be in play. You have failed miserably to consider both the truth or the facts. Therefore, you are not having a logical argument with me. Quit whining. Again, I never discussed politics in spite of whatās rattling around in your head. Drop it.
but they were tongue-in-cheek as well.
