I'm done with this site

Bad enough that Kim allows MN Joe to insert his bigotry and hatred ad anauseum and unchecked, even upon a five year old boy (my youngest son).
And his crime? Long blonde hair. Guilty as charged.

That does not bother near as much (considering the source) as a comment that Kopeck made that seems to be focused on me?

It's Kim's Site, and she can do as she wants, as I can also.

Respect, something lacked by the contributor of rude, out of line, and insulting comments.

Judgement: passed by the holier than thow contributor of rude, out of line and insulting comments.

Arrogance: exhibited by holier than thow..... . do I need to repeat the rest ????

Religion: Sometimes a private and deeply personal affair for some. Something best left alone on a forum like this.

Hair: a personal appeareance feature, determined by the preference of the person it grows on, parent/guardian thereof.

Respect, once again, the contributor was disrespectful, impolite, insulting and rude. There is kind of a setting here, most are polite and friendly, most pick up on that and are that way too, but then you get those who like to disrupt the way things are, for no reason. That person draws attention to themselves but what have they actually accomplished, dominance or becoming the self annointed presiding tribal elder of YT RELGION AND POLITICS ????? They sprout up like a mushroom in sh$t after a rain to become the know'er of all, to cast prejudice of those who do not appear as pure in their religion, on a forum ??? LOL ! Keep up the good work ! PS, get away from the PC, it'll do you a world of good !

JD, it kinda ticks me off that people do things like this, and are so rude to others like yourself and it's a shame this becomes so distasteful making a person withdraw from something they belong to like a forum.

To the person and or person(s) involved you don't win, you don't gain anything at all, you don't have a darned clue....really !

I do hope you stay on this site as I feel like your a friend of mine and I dont even know you! I joined this site about a year ago and alway's enjoyed you're contributions! I know you truly love your family and that is why you feel hurt, I dont blame you...But F these mean spirited people. You're a friend of all the Good people on this site!!

Take a break for awhile and stay with us.

No president in history has been more vilified or was more vilivied during the time he was President than Lincoln. Those who knew him, his secretaries, have written that he was deeply hurt by what was said about him and drawn about him, but on the other hand, Lincoln had the great strength of character never to display it, always able to stand tall and strong and firm no matter how harsh or unfair the criticism might be. These elements of greatness, of course, inspire us all today. (A quote from Richard Nixon.)

Stand tall, stand firm.

When you were in school did you let the bully pick on you or did you go to school the next day with a 12" piece of lead pipe in your coat pocket?

then the laugh will be on you,,,,,

That leaves you in desperate straits.

and that my friend, it seems == your guilty of...

of course it turns them off, that's quite normal, becaue they (think) they have done the right thing and believe that the problem was a cause by others in thier life,

I direct them to what the Lord says, and that really gets them angery, because agerage folks (think) God has nothing to do with them / or very little, He who is good for making excuees is seldom good for anything else.

Our senses don't deceive us, our judgment does, all one needs is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Never mistake knowledge for wisdom,,,, one helps you make a living, the other helps you make a life, to live a life for God is the key to eternal life, Most don't know that, and will be doomed to damnation, and most don't really care, that's just choices we make,

It turns out,,, I give them a choice to either take it or leave it, most will leave it, (( Please understand, it's NOT UP TO ME, if they listen to me )) because that seems to be their destiny, at least, I have offered the other side to turning around their life, but it's NOT up to me, I'm JUST a messenger.

The evil ones want me to stop, because misery loves company. ((((Does that help ???)))

you like being a trouble maker don't you ?,

• MN JOE at work

I just about broke my 'no response' vow and tied into Joe when he was so inconsiderate of you and your son, but I managed to stay quiet as I hope I always will when someone starts spouting insane garbage. Respectfully, Jim

I strongly urge you to take a break - a day, a week, whatever works for you, and then continue to be a part of this on-line community. You are a positive force on this site.

I'd sure like to see you step back from the fire for a little while and let things cool down. As you'll see above, many of us are agreeing to ignore any comments made by the individual who started this whole mess. When you're ready, I for one hope to see you rejoin the friends who are still going to be here in spite of one person's attempt to ruin this forum.

Brokenwrench has what might be the only solution... Just ignore him. I promise you will not see me reply to him.

Who would of thought an innocent picture of a truck,bird nest and a little boy could of caused all this uproar ! Just shows what a mess this world is in.

If there's anything I've learned, the internet brings out the best in a lot of people, and the @$$ in others, even those who are nice guys in real life.

Thick skin goes a long way in computer land.

I, too, encourage you to stay.

Hey JD -

I have really appreciated your posts and info and pictures!

Everyone sees him for what he is.

And I think the vast majority of folks that hang out on these forums really respect you.

I sure do.

The other guy is just a sad clown that must not have any sort of life at all...

Howard

I got ran over by a mad bull the other day too. No use getting mad; he doesn't know any better.

Just blow it off,

Allan

I, too, am sorry to see it come to this. MNJoe can believe whatever he wants to believe, but when he starts picking on 5-year-old kids, I believe he's stepped out of bounds. While I, too, have strong religious beliefs, to apply the same judgements to a child that one would apply to an adult is the "wisdom" of a fool. What in the world is wrong with allowing a child to act like a child, and to look like a child, while he's a child? Hopefully, he'll have 50+ years to BE an adult, once he becomes an adult; and once he becomes an adult, THEN let him be judged as an adult. Prior to that, a child is still a child...and, as MN Joe has demonstrated, an azz is still an azz.

Keep on braying, Joe; we all recognize you for what you are. If you'd spent more time praying, and less time braying, you'd actually be apt to influence people TOWARD Christ, and not AWAY from Him.

Just take some time off the site and come back like cj in wisconsin suggested. Many of us appreciate the tech knowledge and parts # you've doled out over time, and many of us would hate to lose you because of someone with biblical Tourette's Syndrome.
