Would you, f’instance, do it to establish a friendship?

A broader question is what point is there to an altruistic gesture?

To the person who suggested getting Air& loaded, I’ve seen some newbies who have gotten loaded for the first time and they had very strong negative emotional responses. I don’t know, but I’d be concerned that Air& would not react well. Of course, for all I know, he may use that plane he allegedly has to run drugs across the border.

But all the same, what would be the motivation behind the gift? Do others here donate to charity?

This is a very insulting post.

I'll take the pc because I have a table that wobbles and could use the pc to level out the table.

I would offer to send you some 1" x 4" pieces, but then you'd say they're worth the same as a PC...

What to say about sig files that are 12x larger than the post.

I would also try to make a forum where somehow, people would have some sort of mechanism to accommodate those that they don't agree with, without putting them on ignore or banning them. A pipe dream I know, but it would be great to come up with something that could accommodate everyone.

This isn't a complaint about people putting others on ignore or anyone getting banned? Your desire for a utopia forum is an implied criticism and complaint about the current state of affairs on this forum.

The pertinent fact here as I pointed out, is that were politics and religion banned topics, you personally wouldn't be involved in any arguments. We would all be united in our enjoyment of the MB and its qualities. Lots of forums follow this practice precisely because politics and religion are hot button issues, so what you want is a current thing elsewhere, and all it takes is a few adjustments of the rules here.

You sir have too much imagination. I was dreaming(I even used that word but you obviously missed it) of somehow having more pleasant interaction on this forum. You were unable to pass up the opportunity to slam me, so you just read in what you wanted to hear, making a perfect example of why I dream of a more affable forum.

There was no complaint of any kind either expressed or implied.

How did my harmless thread turn into someone being put on an ignore list?
