Looks like Pedro snook over to Hocks and they are snookering while getting snockered!

Only after Duran had reviewed and passed on any of my future posts would they be published.

Well, it just so happens that in my next post, I decided to review a Mexican movie I had recently bought and viewed at home so I posted the following comment:

"Y tu mama tambien"

Well, that´s the name of the movie, for God´s sake. He apparently took it personally and Dawg is proud to say he was immediately banned forever.

I thought my little tidbit, that was ungloriously dumped, was the

I thought MOST here were old enough to endure a little humour...

Bob, I liked the method used previously when you simply moved the thread to "The Octagon" when it got to the point of controversial language.

I, for one, always put a lot of thought into my posts (often re-reading and editing before I approve the final version), and I don't like to see them "edited" for decency (or whatever). My intent is lost by softening the tone.

In such cases, I vote for moving the thread over there; if that isn't an option, then I prefer the Duran method of simply deleting the post. If it has to be "edited" it ain't my post.

Just my humble opinion.

Better be careful, When stressing out ADMIN it can be a very bad thing and drive you and them to Make them really mad and this is what happens to your while on your box. Then you end up steaming mad on a pointless rant that usually goes nowhere.

Final conclusion: Just chill out and have some When you wake up from your after all the You won't even care because, your head will feel like Another solution is to away. In the end what does it really matter? Life is much to short, take a break and listen to some.

That is "THE END' of my
