Seems there are some people that are afraid to post their true thoughts or opinions in this "OPEN" forum. Shame really, that people cannot speak their mind. I have no problem with it. 
Anyway, I won't post all of Greg's pm, as that for some reason is so completely "Wrong", and God forbid we start that whole mess again. He said I could post it, but that it WAS a PERSONAL MESSAGE.
So, I'll just give you the highlights (if you can call them that), then my thoughts on it.
Greg starts out by telling me "You need to tone down your rhetoric". He said it cheapens the value of the forums.
I am not the one spewing silly anti-US rhetoric. And is there a real value to a forum? And just to get this out there, "Telling" me to do something surely won't work on me. Maybe others will listen and obey, but you are barking up the wrong tree with me sonny. Questions on that? GOOD.
Mr. Dewey then mentions that at a.net they argue over points, not users they dislike. Could be, I only upload photos and post in the Photography forum over there. Rarely in any other forum. I will say I don't dislike anyone here. I probably would have a good reason to, but really have no hard feelings. I don't agree with a lot of what i'll call garbage, and will post an alternate response or point of view. Like it or not, that is the way it is.
Greg said it was immature of Richard to say those things to me, and I could have ended it and told Chris. Some may choose that option. Seems like running off to tell "Mommy" to me. I'm a big guy, I'll handle the little things like this and leave Chris to the business of running this site, and whatever else he enjoys.
He then made an assumption that I am old enough to comprehend right from wrong. Good assumption on his part, and I knew right away that what Richard had said, and the way he had said it was wrong. Thus, I exposed him for what I feel he is. Nothing more, nothing less.
Greg said that I, and people like me create impressions on the world about the U.S. He did not mention what type of impression, but let's assume he means a negative one. Maybe so, maybe not. But surely no one thinks this website is big enough to make an impact on world opinon do they? Sorry Chris, I just don't get that impression yet
So, that was the gist of his pm. Some will agree, some won't. Again, why could he not just have posted it here for us to debate?
