[TheForge] OT Freedom

[Blake Williams]

I dont claim to be an expert on topics like this but I will give it a shot.  
I love reading posts everyone, thats EVERYONE posts on here on OR off topic. 
  In my personal opinion someone can come on here and butcher, dis, put 
down, trash talk anything I believe in and its not going to get to me.  Why? 
  The only way I would let it get to me is to try to justify or change the 
views of the other person.  I.E If someone says colored people are worthless 
bums and I were colored, I would let it fly but once I say 'I am colored, 
whats your problem buddy' thats when problems arise (hope I did no offence 
to anyone).  I would rather let someone speak their mind about anything and 
keep my peace, respecting their views rather than start a war.  Its too bad 
we had people leave the list but I agree with the last post, perhaps they 
are too 'thin-skinned' and let things like this make a mark.  I took this 
contraversy as a learning experience myself and hope others would do the 
same and try not to turn good intentions into a fight.  And that is all I 
have to say about that.
