'Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!'

Especially at those prices.

The only person here that said anything about religion was you. Can you not read either ? I said juice, not ***s. Coffee Break2

I make a strong effort to avoid politics and religion in this forum. However, that one comment tested my resolve to avoid any mention of religion. I can read quite well. I can also think on my own, and interpret what I perceive to be a thinly masked attempt to convey an ugly stereotypical ethnic jab. Now, I bow out of this discussion with a very low opinion of the person whose public profile states that he has not yet made any friends in this forum. I ask the administrators of this forum to excuse my mention of religion. I also suggest that the admins review which words are not considered appropriate for appearing in the forum, and the reasons for appearing to be arbitrary in some of these decisions.

I assume you're referring to my account, Poirot. Maybe not. But I definitely don't have any regular contact with anyone here; I can go for months not posting a thing. And I'll wager that a majority of members are "friendless" here.

I don't have "friends" on here since I couldn't care less to have them on here just to have them like so many Facebook dinks do (I don't do FB or any other social site like them since they're a waste of time). I "know" a number by name, but whopdeedoo! And if they lived in Mpls I'd probably know them in the flesh. Who cares!!! I'm here for the overwhelmingly positive, helpful interactions, for the difficult to find (on your own) vintage information - to give it when I know it, and to ask for it when I need it. This is the best site; I rarely go elsewhere.

To have pointed out that you're an utter moron from the time you responded with your accusation that another poster was making a fascist slur through the side door (re: "juiced") and up to your last post above has been a takedown since you opened your mouth in the first place. That you're now skewing the language I used and attempting to state that I'm using it derogatorily on this site would lead me to knocking the living $*^% out of you if you had the guts to say it to my face! Kinda make it difficult to take the high road and walk away, don't you think? Except you don't think, now do you?

I have been a member of this forum for years. & though there have been a handful of times where I've bantered with another member - they're few and far between; and the givings been about as even as the getting. And typically ended with a handshake.

You're the one who dumped politics and religion into the feed with your "juiced" accusation. Not Ray Dee. Not me. You! My mistake is trying to knock your nut loose with a sledge hammer.

And even though it's lost on you that I quit responding after realizing you probably have a weak IQ and what's the point of typing anything further ... you wake up and post another of your accusations.

I don't know the administrator but I think he/they can read intent in my elucidating on that unbelievable nonsense about "juiced." I have zero doubt that this entire "BADGE" post will be deleted because this is NOT WHAT VDF IS FOR. How about you go ahead and PM me and we'll take it off the public feed.

Wow! Wow! Wait: you don't have 1 friend in in your public profile yourself you IDIOT!

No soup for you !!

Guys! Guys! Guys!

First off, I am the admin/mod for the VDF, which I honestly thought you all knew?! David owns the site, but leaves the majority of the "front end stuff" up to my discretion, and has done so for the past 12 years or so! That said ...

... GREAT entertainment here I must say!, and before I go any further, David and I as the VDF, have no control on how the text software is written regarding certain words. David and I have always said it's ridiculous that one can't write the word J E W without asterisks popping up. Even the word F A R T gets asterisks assigned by the software! Just ridiculous. But again, just so's you know ... nothing WE did. Just the way the software is written/configured. Okay!, with that said ...

I'm not going to get into the semantics of the word "juiced" and how it was used ... interpreted ... innuendo ... etc!, but I will say that the topic has been taken to it's limit I think! So ... I'll end up closing the thread in a bit, and "possibly" delete it, although it's really not as bad as some have been over the years! Now, about that badge ...
