Many people are convinced of their own invincibility well up into their 40's or 50's. Yes, they know that they will die, eventually, but they believe that it's not possible for a young death to be their fate. Are they wrong with their belief that it's impossible? Sure they are. Anything is possible. That doesn't change their belief, and they make their preparations according to their beliefs.


I had mine prepared at 29. Why? Because I had kids and wishes I wanted respected.

If you want something taken care of, you take care of it.

If someone else is paying for it, you deal with it.

I have answers for some things. This is one of them.

It isn't rocket science.

You want something. You make sure it happens.

Wish in one hand and spit in the other. See which one fills up first.

IMHO, the family should have had a closed casket. The busybodies would have had nothing to talk about.
Good grief, it was the families business, not the friends business.
Do the friends think their opinions are going to matter? No. End of story.
Besides, you (general) choose how to remember a person. Leave it at that. Leave the drama at home.

Hmm, Klingon.  biggrin

 Should I spit in my right or left hand? I'm so confused...

You two should really just learn to ignore each other. Of course it wouldn't be so entertaining then...lol

 Exactly.  These so-called "friends" have nothing to do with anything.

"Or, here's a thought--you could actually contribute something to the thread rather than just attack other posters." - huskerbb

So, as long as a member contributes to a thread, it's o.k. to attack posters? That makes sense, and clears up a few things.


 Except he didn't attack anyone on this board in this thread until he was attacked.  Your high horse needs some air.


 But his posting history, as we all know, is another matter altogether.

flan


 So what?  That does not excuse any of you for this thread.  And YOUR posting history is not exactly all nice and pristine either.  What does that have to do with anything here?  Just because you don't like his blunt opinions does not mean that it gives you license to attack him.  You talk about lazy, but the only lazy ones I see are the ones who can't be bothered to intelligently attack his opinions, so you start attacking him instead.  And you think it's OK simply because you don't like the way he posts.  People call him childish while being childish.  It's ridiculous.  Bitch, bitch, moan, moan, while you are doing the EXACT same thing and don't see it.


 I wish I was wise...

Tiny Dancer has said nothing about husker that hasn't been said before. At least Richard could argue endlessly without resorting to insults.

flan


I'll bet you wish you were wise.

 

Oh, and Richard was banned from the previous forum for using insults--which I was not.   


No. I wasn't.

Quit trying to re-write history. I was banned (unjustifiably) for daring to disagree with a moderator when she made a bad call (she warned me not to break the rules, when I wasn't breaking the rules, and I said "please warn me when I've actually broken a rule").

 

Moderators: Feel free to ban this account, now, because I know that LL in her lack of civility and fairness has carried all bans from GT forward to this spin-off... even the unjustifiable ones.

The newbie is Richard, so not a newbie, and this is one of the reasons I started the other thread asking about people who don't post. I see my thoughts were justified.

For the record, I made this account AFTER seeing husker's BS post, and ONLY made it to rebut his falsification of history.

I have not used it to "peek in" on anyone or the member's only area.

I expect it to be banned soon.


IF LL comes to her senses and lifts my unjusitifiable ban... I'd love to be a member, under my "regular" name. But that's for her and the other moderators to decide. Enjoy your new forum.

Honestly, you sound like a brat. Are you stomping your foot too?

A lot of us here are well aware of the boards history.

It is apparent you haven't learned anything while exiled.

Time to grow up Richard.

LOL. No. Childish would be LL's carryover of my unjustifiable ban... or husker's re-write of history. Those are childish.

This was just clearing my name.

There was nothing TO learn.

I'm fully grown up. I just don't like my good name being dragged through the proverbial mud.

Also worthy of mention, this account may have appeared as an account a few days ago, but it was only "activated" today or late last night. This was my first chance to post since it was activated.

Really? You waited for three days just to get into a spat with husker?
Wow. That is a new low. A very low low.
And if I recall correctly, you were banned for disregarding repeated warnings to stop calling husker a idiot, or something of that ilk Which yeah, is an insult, and will remain an insult regardless of how you try and justify it.
It was a justified ban at the time, and still is, and this whole thing does not help your case. It just makes you look bitter and obsessed.

Waiting three days wasn't by choice. If the account had been approved that day, I would have done it then.

 That is kinda my point. The wait did not deter you. You resurrected a  dead thread to fight with husker

Honor and integrity has no time limit, and besides, as I pointed out, the wait was not of my doing.

Well. Normally I would agree.

But here he has used a new SN to gain access to basically pick up where he left off.

If he wanted a 2nd chance, I would think busting out of the gate and going after another poster on a dead thread is not the way to go about it.

 I really think the behavior exhibited here is enough to show what his intentions are.  He knew he wasn't supposed to have an account and yet made one anyway just to start a fight.  I hope this isn't open to a vote.  I hope that LL will deal with this.

I take responsibility for my posts. That comment of husker's NEEDED correcting. I wasn't going to correct it without owning up to the fact that it was me doing so.

Worthy of note, I tried signing up "for a second chance" using my "real" name (RichardInTN) when this forum opened... LL banned it immediately upon seeing it requesting approval. So, you can't say I didn't try.

Apparently you don't know my "forum wide" intentions. I know that anyone that hasn't broken any rules should have an account.

Yes, I admit my intentions on THAT post was to call out huskers re-write of history. But how is that any different (generally speaking) from anyone else's rebuttals when they disagree with someone on any thread?

It wasn't to "start a fight" it was to put history back on track.

Richard is not going to be given a second chance, especially since he still thinks he did nothing wrong. He was officially warned by Fort Worth Mom and basically told her she was wrong, he didn't break any rules, so he wasn't going to listen to her. He had already had a temp ban for disrespecting moderators. So, he had a second chance, and just got worse.

His continued attitude is evidenced on this thread. He thinks the rules don't apply to him and therefore he is not welcome. Period. I will not, under any circumstances, change my mind. He has his own board - he can whine there.

 I like Richard, and have no love for husker, but after I read the thread in question, it was obvious that Richard deserved his ban. That YEARS later he still can't see that is staggering .
