    It's been on the History Channel all day long. Agreed: Not prime channel.

    Thanks but not what I was talking about, I should have clarified. I posted a remembrance here at 0846 and now it's gone. Somehow and for some reason it was removed.

    Oh yeah. I saw that. I also saw some anti-Islam and anti-Christian comments. Hence, probably the reason for the drain plug. God help us if we ever wish someone a happy 4th of July. :angry:

    Hey Aaron, I intended to read it earlier and got side tracked so I didn't' get to see the content but it is hard to imagine why it was removed. I can't imagine that it contained any language or political content that would have offended anyone. Strange indeed!

    Thanks for the clarification Gary, I had not seen the content. Sorry if we have stooped so low. :(

    No kidding. It is sad that we can't even remember days like 9/11 without someone on here saying something stupid. I have about had enough of this. Might be time to move on.

    You at least saw the title and that's all I wanted. I used to say never forget but it appears as though a lot of people have forgotten except on the anniversary. I am sorry I am taking this a little hard but being both a former Marine and a firfighter, I take it a little more personally.

    I don't want to because I like most of the people here and enjoy reading posts and learning new things. Maybe a break from it.

    I don't blame you Aaron, it is a shame if someone trashed your intent with childish stupidity. I didn't get to see the content that Gary did but that would explain it. I don't see how anyone that witnessed 9/11 can forget. Do we really learn so little from our past?

    I didn't see your post, but want to say this - I will never forget. I hope and pray that our leaders never forget and that we all remain on guard until every threat is neutralized - whatever it takes. And I don't give a crap what any detractor wants to say about it. I love this country - God Bless America.

    I should have just reported the user to begin with rather than being the forum sheriff. Sorry about that.

    Sorry it happened Tweev and your right about being sheriff, the pay just isn't there. I leave that to the pro's unless the language gets too gnarly or political for me and then I ask for action on the Forum Feedback thingy. I'll give you credit for standing up and explaining what happened to Aaron's post. There are some that would have just said #!$@ $%&%@#%. Sorry can't say that here.

    Once again, tweeve opened his/her yapper when not needed. Must have gone on far enough to get dumped.

    I'll say "God Bless America"...

    maybe it should have been worded with "Radical Islam", would that make youu feel better?

    I don't see why it'd be a spit in the face of Western troops and other in Iraq and Afghanistan, myself. As for the 200 million or so lunatic Islamists who would be upset, I could care less.

    billions of people? how many billions? who or what said belief has the largest following, and do I bonk Buddha or Kali Ma? Not starting something with you, just saying somehow I did not see the insult to the troops, if that is what you read into that comment.

    I wish there was a way I could filter out every single thread, so I couldn't even see it, that tweev gets involved in. It seems to me that every thread I have seen him post in goes downhill fast.

    He alone, makes checking this forum a blood pressure raising event.

    It bothers me that the forum masters allow constant instigating from him.

    Howdy! I have been away from the forum for awhile (personal/business related), so you don't know me from Adam's house cat. I just wanted to say that it would be a shame for you to leave the forum over something like this.

    There are LOTS of people here and everyone has their own opinion about politics, religion, etc. This site is mostly geared towards cooking on the BGE, but sometimes things go haywire because of a personal opinion expressed. That is all that it is, just an opinion. No reason to leave the forum, in my humble "opinion". :)

    I respect the members of the armed forces(and fireman) tremendously, but am a little tired of hearing comments about how "9/11" means more to them. "Serving" doesnt make one more patriotic.

    And regarding the other thread being deleted.....not surprising that it was, seeing who was involved. This forum has been on a slippery slope since he arrived.....Friggin Sad! Now he thinks he somehow has the right to govern things around here.?
