Answer:In a language no one understands.
Across the evening sky,
all the birds are leaving,
But how can they know,
it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
I will still be dreaming,
I have no thought of time.

It violates free speech when the Government pressures a social media site to cancel you.  It's a violation of free speech when the Government pressures banks to close your accounts.  The Twitter files proved both happen.  Wink 

Hi,

Yeah, but nobody reminded Mr. Trump of that and took action ...!!! And the media predilection these days is throw stones until they are dead ... guilty or not!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ I’m not complaining because I’m “getting abused” - I’m complaining because the discussions degrade into name-calling and trolling. But I do not expect anyone to change - we all do as we please, which is as it should be.

Nonsense.

Mike posts things.  Mike gets commentary on those things.  Mike doesn't like the comments.   Mike gets into an argument.   Mike doesn't like how the argument goes.   Mike then complains he's being abused.

No one's buying it.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Free speech necessarily has its limits.

Hi,

I think the American founding daddies had the right idea ... but they did not exactly follow it and eventually it all led into a Civil War of sorts, which was blamed on such ideas as "slavery", and not the Constitution at all. It's been said that it was, in many ways, very naive ... which I don't agree on, however, in this day and age, with 1 million lawyers trying to break the law and the Constitution, I'm not surprised that it's almost impossible to define and specify what "free speech" means ... not to mention that for the last 75 years the American Supreme Court has fiddled and distorted the Constitution left and right, making it even worse and more difficult to interpret. 

Makes one think that the Supreme Court lacks the moral ethics to even consider the issue, is my thought.

^ Constantly nagging other forum users when they 'dare' to talk about a non-prog act in a prog thread does more harm to these forums than someone evoking Tears for Fears in a prog thread. Please stop it.

I agree, there's been too much drama, and I'd say, that's not least due to too much violating of various PA rules which is of course a problem for different reasons, for instance not good for PA's reputation.

^ Apology accepted - but I seriously did not take it personally. I wrote an exaggerated response to make a point, but I wasn't entirely serious there even, since I know you're a bit of an anarchist. Stay out of the thread if you like, but you're welcome to occasionally add some avant-garde banter-in-opposition. LOL

Weren't you the one preaching about not taking things personally?

Better practice what you preach LOL


I’m not taking it personally, I’m just pointing out that your post was disrespectful. I don’t really mind you goofing around here, I’ve gotten used to the trolling and typically just ignore it.


NO, you  took it personally otherwise you WOULD HAVE ignored it. OK, since it bugged you so much i apologize. Obviously you don't like bugs. However i will say you're friggin' wasting your time and spinning your wheels. Nobody will adhere to any rules or respectful dialogue because that hasn't been the pattern so far. Good job trying for sure. You have more patience than i do. I never considered myself trolling but rather showing irreverence to the drama that haunts these forum threads much like progaardvark. I'll tread on your thread no longer, my friend! Cheerio.

I know that you know that you are a smart man, Silly Puppy.  You know how to craft a post-breaming with plausible deniability.  What bugs me?  I know you're a good man Silly Puppy, and you know what you are doing. You know that you put a bug in Mike's ear.  You know Mike knows what you mean.  Now you know that I know you know. Do know what I mean? Wink 


I was testing his reaction to see if he practices what he preaches. He doesn't!

I must be missing something here, as I've really no idea of what Silly Puppy's mention of "E" numbers is supposed to relate to. Confused
