    Wow.

    I don't know what you're pursuing from me at this point; if you need to clarify what is being demanded, feel free.

    Ringo!

    Love how he went from Ray to Ringo.

    Kind of like how Gary went to Geddy.

    (and both have such nice warm energy, both as musicians and as people).

    To keep on topic! The two fellas mentioned above, though not official residents of the US (yet welcomed - come on in!) seem beautifully in touch with reality.

    They kinda sorta resemble each other a bit as well. An approachable, affable sort of look in a venue of hard-edge, serious folks among the rock world.
    My brain tells me his real name was Richard Starkey, did those close to him call him Ray?

    I can't find a trace of what you've requested of Hedonist anywhere in this eleven page thread. You keep reiterating "answer the question" and haven't even included the question.

    Rather than deflecting, why not just ask it again as Hedonist suggested?

    You're right - why did I think Ray? His son's name, I think? Either way, love him!

    And yeah, benjs - ain't gonna happen. Part of this ridiculous and pointless game, I suppose.

    From page 9.

    I wonder if your perception of other people "losing their cool" and "being nasty" is a bit over the top.

    Could you let this go already? That you don't like me isn't bothersome in the least; bringing it into various threads because I may see some issues in a different light than you is. Guessing our fellow members aren't big on it either.

    Back to out-of-touch Republicans!

    Not at all. You're not willing to cut the personal digs, I'll keep calling you on it. So keep it up, the mods are watching.


    I'm willing to stop the nastiness. But only if those who insist on the personal digs stop as well. I won't put words into your mouth that aren't there, and you'll stop taking everything I write personally. Because my words are just words, not combative, not personal digs, just words.

    That's my word, now what say you.

    I'm ready to get back on topic, but not until we stop this garbage. Because "letting it go" as you suggest only lasts until the next thread.

    Where the hell am I getting Ray from?! I give up =)

    bsL, I still don't know what you're looking for from me. You decry personal digs (which I believe YOU believe were said to you), yet..."cray cray"? From an adult, yet.

    As you mentioned earlier, don't waste any more ounces of precious time on this.

    Aaaand...again on topic, or somewhat related - the "Closet Conservative" term. I've stated many times how my views are tinged both with conservatism and liberalism, as well as falling in between the two.

    "Closet" implies a stigma, something of which to be ashamed. I'm certainly not. No hiding necessary.

    Labeling other's political points of view is a slippery slope because in the end it reflects more on your point of view than their's. If you are on the left, that doesn't mean everyone to your right is a conservative. Closet or no. Same goes for those on the right. Very easy to skip over all the moderates in between and focus only on two extremes.

    My post was a complete joke. I should've made it clear. RR knows I called him a closet conservative in a joking manner in a pm and should've realized the rest of you had no idea what I meant. But there are some closet conservatives in here, and that's ok to.

    Thanks for this. Never understood the need to constantly shout and point "you're a (insert implied insult here)!!". It's doesn't constitute an adult discussion.
