    I therefore have to put remarks asking people not to snipe or get personal, if it looks like it may be heading in that direction....

    ...even though im often wrong in that regard, its better than letting a full scale war break out (or appear to break out).

    I understand you have to do this, RF. If you ever have a question of whether I am getting personal, or snipey, please do not hestitate to pm me. I don't always have the time it takes to post a smiley face, and I apologize if that seems to be confusing at times. I would hope the other posts I have made on this board would in some way let you know I mean no malice to anyone. But I do have questions, I hope that is okay?

    Of course its fine...

    However; if i post something in a thread aimed at everyone, I feel its a lot fairer than PMing just one or two people.

    Anything posted in a thread by me is just myself saying "Careful" to everyone..

    Unfortunatly if i PM someone, they sometimes think they are being singled out or, worse getting "warned" officially and i do not want people thinking that.

    I can see your reasoning. One question? What if you get out of line?

    There are other Mods and Admins..

    And you can always PM me, chances are that if i've upset someone (other than them having oposing views that is ), its probably either a mistake or a misunderstanding.

    Im quick to appologise to those i do, if they take something personally.. or i like to think i am, anyway

    Im sure there arethose that will disagree with that

    Then I have to take him to the Yukon and leave him on an ice floe.

    Now, really...those poor guys in Iraq probably don't want to be hearing about ice floes, so let's move on, shall we?

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
