PremEx -- you don't need to agree with me --
that is exactly my point --- we are a community of individuals with differences of opinion on a number of issues -- it is not for any of us to dictate to the other what he or she can or cannot "say" --we are ultimately responsible for our actions -- I cherish the fact that you disagree and have posted that fact -- it helps to make my point -- I do not take your posting in any negative way, therefore I welcome the public nature of it -- you are not attempting to regulate what I say , you simply disagree ---
That is healthy and wonderful --- as for finger pointing -- SORRY, but I have no use in trying to define a clique ---I see it one way and you see it another - the joys of free speech -- I need not define or defend my thoughts, nor must you --- However, I would refer you to lengthy posts in the Coupon Connection in which there is a long discussion of "whom to trust" -- this thread certainly casts a disparaging view on low posters and that thread's very existence is validation enough of my point of view -- the correct answer to that particular question, in my opinion, is ----- we should trust everybody, regardless of number of posts, until they prove themselves not worthy of our trust -- I think that you and I can agree that some posters in that discussion would not agree with me and believe that "low posters" should be viewed with suspicion --- if that is the case --- well, then, that is exclusionary and "cliquish" in nature -- I prefer not to judge on such merits -- In fact I prefer not to judge, thus my distaste for a public display of threatening behavior that I commented on - kazman
