Do you think this is a "UPC" forum? If so you are quite uninformed.

....and I LOVE the Richard Bach quote. I wouldn't mind adding that to my signature quotes.

Not sure you are aware that you tend to provoke people, then play holier than thou when they respond to your provoking. Advice from the admin team, you need to IGNORE things you don't like rather than trying to start something in every thread you read.
There is a WIDE diverse group of people here and you are not going to agree or like every post or poster. Learn to post your opinion without going after others.
I "provoke" and then play "holier-than-thou"? Since "Admin" had made this accusation publicly, will there be a public posting of examples of these things? It's also been revealed publicly that I reported a post, which according to a PM I have from admin, is ALWAYS anonymous. Who can I talk to about this??

Would those who had a hissy fit over the pelosi underwater joke had been so upset had the name used been Bush instead of Pelosi?
I voted for President Bush twice. So....yes, my "hissy fit" would have been the same.

Wow....this IS a good reminder, isn't it?
Did you express your displeasure about all the just as hideous (and far more so) "jokes" made about Palin?

I wasn't on the forum at the time but I expressed my disgust with David Letterman in the middle of an illustration in a sermon. Letterman has always been my favorite, but what he said about Palin was indefensible.
Look, I know what you're getting at. It really doesn't matter what my political leanings are but since you're dropping the insinuations, I've never voted for a Democrat in my life. But I have befriended many liberals and was very close to the son of a major liberal congressman. As it turns out, he was a human being just like I was.
