***The post and poster deserved to be permanently banned from this forum. If not I am off of here for good. Disgusting!!***
***Yet, how many of you giggle and titter about and encourage this person when he makes his misogynistic jokes, talks continually about body parts, fluids, noises, etc. I see some of you posting in this thread - those that laud his crassness as funny, cute, etc. - "You're just so funny".***
I'm going to respond to this in a way that does not offend the forum rules; in other words, I'm not going to be expressing any political opinions. If anyone wants to get into that, let's take it to Just Politics.
1. Quite a few of the participants, Julie, choose to find some amusement in my postings. They far exceed those who publicly post in support; I do not share the PMs I receive that ask me to continue to try to enliven the forum.
2. I defy you to find misogynistic comments with my name attached. My only child is a daughter. I would be gravely offended if I was ever told that she could not be president -- or Pope, for that matter -- because of her gender. Conversely, I note that you have never complained when some of your political fellow travelers have posted male-bashing jokes in Leisure. I detect some selective distaste.
3. You may have misconstrued my quite blunt humor about my ex-wives as misogynistic. That could hardly be further from the case. I regard them all as sort of androgynous, much like demons who are sexless. Well ... exactly like demons, in fact.
4. I plead guilty to enjoying, and propagating, edgy, even ribald, humor. I attempt not to cross the line, but if you juggle a lot of oranges -- and I do -- occasionally you're going to whiff. Only once have I really transgressed, however, and on that occasion I got roundly trounced, as I should have -- you were prominent amongst the trouncers -- and I apologized. Conversely, check out the jokes others post in Leisure, then talk to me about body parts.
5. My personal opinion is that your disdain for my participation on this forum, and similar distaste by others in your clique, stems primarily from the fact that I am a vocal, vigorous and even vociferous advocate for a political viewpoint on Just Politics that differs from yours, not to mention an effective advocate. JPol is overrun with adherents of a political point of view; there are only a few who share my views. I think you really dislike getting your ears often soundly boxed on JPol for your views, and it colors any judgment you might have of me or my postings.
6. As to the issue that prompted the messages listed above, I do not apologize for my passion on that issue. It is heartfelt, and bone-deep, and the closer I get to seeing my first -- and to be my only grandchilld ever -- born in January, the more deeply committed I am to correcting what I perceive to be a major evil in our society. I can only recommend that you reexamine your priorities on the matter.
Everybody please note: Not a single political opinion was expressed in this post. If you wish to respond with something of a political flavor, I will see you in JPol.

This all is bound to make for a lively evening. However, the soft rain on the metal roof is calling me to head to the down early and get a good night's sleep, something I've been missing all week. On top of that, I thought I'd use a few hours this afternoon to browse Target, and my first clue this was not a great idea is that I had to hike two huge parking lots to get into the store. I love hiking, but not in the dark and not across asphalt dodging shopping carts and umbrellas heading straight for your eyeballs.
Cheers to all!
Good night!

And just what has this post, your opinions of what is humorous, what is evil in our society, your wives, your daughter, your soon to be grandchild, your friends (if you have any) or your relatives have to do with notary work? We all know you lust to be another Samuel Clemens, well you do have the verbosity, just not the talent, and this forum as you yourself have stated ad nauseam, is a place to discuss notary work.
