Begsu1013 A good man

Wow, good thing no one posted a pic of someone beating a dead horse. Either that or people on message boards hate horses.

Get over yourself Barry. You two cents are not asked for nor needed here. All you ever want to do in your life is cause strife. Let it rest. You won't win this one. Leon is a fair man, and IMHO made the right call. He (begsu) will probably be let back on if he even wants to be. Hopefully he will be more considerate next time. There are alot of animal lovers in America. Why do you think there was such an uproar when Michael Vick engaged in dog fighting? When a gorilla got killed in a zoo?

Follow your own advice, Bobby. Did I speak directly to you? Why are you trying to start more of your drama with me? I think it's you who needs to get over himself. I directed nothing at you so why are you coming here directing at me? And why is your opinion worth more than mine?

Are we in some sort of a competition? I'm not trying to win anything. As usual, you can't see the humor and purpose in irony. You just want to bait me into your drama.

I hope you are not trying to insinuate that I support any type of animal abuse because that would be absurd.

Also, I never mentioned my opinion of Leon's decision. I think Leon can speak for himself about my posts. I don't think he needs you to speak for him but Im sure it fills him with joy that he has your full support in these matters. If anyone else wanted to know, I have no problem with Leon's decision. His playground, his rules.

All of my questions to you are rhetorical. No need to answer them because I have no interest in a back and forth with you. I avoid conversation with you so I think a good suggestion would be you do the same with me. But there is no way that Im going to not post just because you wont like that Im in a thread giving my opinion. Now settle down, Fabio.

It is perfectly acceptable when a thread is titled "I popped my cherry". It can't get much more sexist than that, but everyone seems to think that is ok.

Edited to add: My wife and I have had cats for over 40 years and we presently have 3 beautiful cats. I also have 2 daughters and a granddaughter, and I am much more sensitive to thoughtless sexist comments than to jokes about cats.

Personally I agree with you on this one. I think political correctness has gone way overboard on this one but I do find it to be quite vulgar. I chose to ignore it and not read the post because not worthy of my time.

The cat post was disturbing and not funny at all. Like I said before, I am a veterinarian and know how attached people are to their pets. Both threads had authors who didn't think about their choices. No wonder our choices come down to the Donals and Hillary for president.

Moving forward, if this forum stuck to baseball cards we wouldn't run into these issues.

Some bad decisions were made but its too late to do anything about them. Let's try and move forward and use this forum for what it was intended for.

There are many people on Facebook who would love to hear about your cats, horses, dogs, wives, etc. Lets discuss cards here.

It will continue exactly the way it has the last 14 yrs. thanks

ps...Bob was un-suspended this morning.

As a father of two young adult daughters, I agree. Sometimes we as a society take animal rights more seriously than people rights. I was also offended by that post, but chose to ignore and move on to more information about my favorite hobby.

We have more outrage on the posting of an old photo than is really required, especially in a hobby forum.

Where is the outrage over Hande Kader? Google her if you don't know the story, and try not to throw your Cheerios up.

Not real sure what this has to do with the topic of discussion, but let me give you a little biology lesson. Women have 2 X chromosomes (XX). Men have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome (XY). Taking hormones to grow breasts and/or cutting off your penis does not change a him into a her. Now, there are chromosomal disorders, but that is not the case here. Not trying to take away from the disgusting event that happened, just clarifying a silly comment.

Wow, thanks so much for the Bio 101 lesson. You must be a really smart man.
I guessed "man", as I do not know what your chromosome breakdown currently is.

And I apologize for personally derailing this thread. Me bad, as it was so focused prior to my lone post.

Now I'll type very slowly so you can process and understand my point. Sometimes people seem to get much more upset at abuse of animals than abuse of people.
This thread seems to support that theory.
