I realize that a lot of bad feelings are abound on The SD due to recent events, but must you take everything that Ed Zotti posts and make it into some Goddamed conspiracy?

I don’t know the man but damn, some of you people trip out on some of the most ridiculous shit.

I respect and like a lot of you from your postings, but for God’s sake why whine about something that you enjoy and is free?

Why not give constructive advice rather than have your comments bite you in the ass, only to make you look the fool. Sorry, but that’s the reality.

You are smart and intelligent people, get off this bashing the SDMB mentality and see that they can do whatever the fuck they want to do with this board. It is their board!

Stop fucking it up for the rest of us. Damnit, this pisses me off, one of the few places on the 'net I truly enjoy and your sniveling is making it harder to enjoy The SD.

Nothing personal I assure you. I just get a kick out of OPs that whine about people that whine. You aren’t the first to do it and you won’t be the last. Carry on…

If you don’t like my post then you don’t have to be a part of it.

Apparently from the other thread, you are opposed to Ed’s postings…need I say more?

Au contraire, I don’t have a problem with Ed’s post. My posts in that other thread consist of observations and suggestions for improving things. My posts there are devoid of insults and profanity and are intended in the nicest of ways… 🙂

Well damn, I agree with the whining bit.  
Hey Wally, what exactly is Ed too short for?
