Re: Otp POLITICAL and I do not agree with all of it but it makes a person think

Hi Mike,
I understand how you came to your conclusion regarding that sight.
I would be willing to bet that very few people have any clue what an SWF
file is or does.
In this day and age, html browsers are the norm. Why you choose to not use
one is up to you,
but it does come with it's territory. Most people don't know enough about a
computer to fill your little finger.
They turn it on, it works. Life is good. If it doesn't work, it goes to the
shop no matter how simple the problem may be to resolve.
The "common sense" that Harv, or anyone else, would have checked the root
sight makes sense to you being the "minority" here with the text only
browsing. Come join the masses and browse html. Would save alot of hard
feeling on all sides.
I'm not looking to get into a war here. Just thought I would voice a
perspective I've not seen in this thread ('cept from you.)
Keep on smilin' !!

If Harv indicates he wants me to at this time, I will,
gladly, as its his post I jumped on. It will not be in any
way to "prove you wrong" however, as IMO you have not helped
this thread with some of the suggestions, comments, and


NO, no,,, it would change nothing. You had to dig a
couple of layers back to find something to bitch about
which means I have been doing a pretty good job of staying
out of politics with my posting in this newsgroup.

Well no. As I already explained, I use a text-only browser,
and don't "do" SWF. This means that if I follow a SWF link,
I get the site it comes from, which is the site I was so
shocked to see you posting a link to. All the explanation
you need to make sense of this is in my preceding posts
Harv. If you WANT to keep on justifying your behaviour on
that other thread...

...then be my guest. *This* incident, though based on my
continuing frustrations at the lack of "common sense" from
some on this NG, is down to me making the mistake, as I've
already said, of assuming you had a clue about that which
you posted a link to. You bungled, as without a disclaimer,
it makes perfect sense to assume that you also HAD checked
the site the SWF was on (as in, how did you find it?), but
as you claim you didn't see what the SWF was associated
with, the only conclusion that can be reached is that *I*
made a mistake, based on your lack of research regarding the
link you posted.

Mainly because it changes nothing in most people minds and
does cause stress to many people. What I would like Mike
the Brain to do is to see if he can follow my leeeeed and
leave it out of this little place on the internet. Harv

I agree wholeheartedly with "leaving out" the political
stuff Harv, as you know damn well. You also, by now,
understand well and fine WHY I jumped on you, and WHAT
about, and that I made a genuine and honest mistake, and,
unlike some I could mention, am quite prepared to "fess up"
and admit it, and apologies for it.

If you want to sit and play the victim, fine. your choice.
As this helps maintain the collective mind-set already in
existence, and precludes any possible suggestion *I* may
still be due an apology or two from some, based on that
thread I linked to above, then do feel free to let this
simmer instead of accepting a genuine apology from me and
letting it go.

There is a distinct difference between who I am and the
picture that has been painted of me, and I'm rather tired of
trying to work with this rabid extremist you seem to like to
treat me as, so I'll leave it to you Harv, to end this, or
leave it where it is.

For my own resolution, and for those who might want to see
this ended, I offer my unreserved apologies to you for
jumping on you about the post this thread is based on.

I hope you change your mind and accept it in the spirit it
is intended in.

Be well Harv.
