Don't know if I would call anyone here "Dethpicable" but you are all pathetic and I feel sorry for you because you can not do anything except find faults with one another. Life is too short to argue over senseless things as you all do. Today I was reading some of what John Wesley wrote, such as “I exact more from myself, and less from others. Go thou and do likewise!” you should do the same.

The only other option is to assume it is your opinion that if an organization simply doesn't like somebody, they actually have the power to expel them. Again, pretty simple.

You've made a lot of statements here lately using the disclaimer, "pure speculation on my part" followed by some wild concoction of your imagination, with zero basis in reality. Do you REALLY believe that is any different than what you claim is "cherry picking" and "putting false words in someone's mouth"? C'mon, man!

I think you need to check, the AMA is a private dues collecting organization. Your membership is an application which can be refused. And I still don't know why they put up with this crap except you guys must be so far down the We Dont Give a Shid list its just easier to ignore you. Which after all might be the best policy.

I'm relieved you didn't find fault with us and were compelled to share your sorrow. I'll sleep much better tonight.

Invoking a theologian, who flouted many of the existing regulations of the church in which he belonged, in order to insult others is hardly compelling.

Care to extrapolate, or is this another of your vague statements that you hope we will guess what you mean and then dance around and claim, "I never said that". Why don't you just specifically list the egregious actions you think deserve to be used as a basis to be put on the AMA's, "we don't give a shid" list, or used to discriminately be denied membership?

To answer the question on the floor, without the need to divulge any private information I have access to.

The members only documents that get referred to are only accessible to logins with current membership

Why would someone share another person's information in a thread w/o asking them first?

I see that you've edited the above post to remove the personally identifiable information you posted in this thread w/o my permission. Thankfully, after the 31st it won't matter, as that number will be no longer applicable.

It speaks volumes about the character of an individual who:
- Quotes theologians to try and establish some moral authority, and
- Then posts in this forum personally identifiable information about others to either attempt to intimidate or in retaliation

So just wondering that if someone gave his info and password would it be possible for a non member to log in to the members only area? Or would a member be able to cut and paste this info and share with other non members?

It will remain applicable whether you renew or not.

I don’t claim to be moral but it is fascinating that after 250 years that theologian is still being quoted. Do you think anything you have written here will be remembered for very long?

The question of your membership came up a while back. This was intended to help you remember.

Yeah, and I see in post #89 there's now an "explanation." Some are trying to equate age of quotes with wisdom, or contend that the only measure of wisdom is age of quotes. I think there's ample evidence neither is true, so not sure what purpose it serves except perhaps to rationalize the behavior. To the point of saying they did it to help me remember? Yeah right.

Care to show proof of that accusation or are you just running your mouth again? You seem to have the habit of convincing yourself that everything you say is true. How about actually backing this one up with some proof.

I’m not going back to look it up. You know, I know and everybody that has been active in these threads know it’s there. You’ve acknowledged doing it . Pretty sad that you are now asking me for proof. Just another example of how you play games on these forums. Sad.

BS?

It can't be sad because I have been laughing all along and I am laughing now as well.

Cant say I’m surprised by this reply. Others make claims and you demand proof, you make claims and can’t be bothered with backing them up. Then claim to know what knowledge others have. I suggest you don’t make statements you can’t back up, could prove to be costly. Just ask Labron James. Take a lesson from you beloved, he knows I caught him lying and has been ignoring my claims because he knows I have the proof to back up my claim.

Are you denying that you’ve posted others’ personal info in the past?

How long did it take you to figure that out? The only time I have been accused of posting personal information was by Franklin after he got booted out of RCG the first time. I asked for proof then and he failed to do so. I posted a picture thought to be Hydro however that picture was taken off a social media site and was a profile picture so fair game. It turned out not to be him and if you recall ( I doubt it, you seem to have memory issues ) I did ask the mods to remove the picture.

Oh geez, give me a break! You tried to post someone’s personal information, but actually mistakenly posted incorrect information. You’re going to hide behind the fact you screwed up your attempt to claim innocence? LOL

Sad.

Nice try but as I said a picture taken off someone’s profile is fair game. If it had been him then his name would have gotten out. BFD. I realize that there are some of you who talk a big game but are too cowardly to want your actual name posted but not everyone feels the need to hide behind a keyboard. Your Beloved uses his own name ( most of the time ), I can respect him for at least that.

Maybe in your world. To me it shows a complete lack of respect for others. Kind of like repeatedly airing dirty laundry from other sites. It’s in bad taste and is childish. What does Franklin’s picture have to do with what he posts here? Justify it how you want, it speaks volumes about your character and what your true motives are, here in the forums.

You claim is that some are, “too cowardly” to post our real names, but in reality, it is just common sense. These forums profit from the information we provide here, and scammers prey on these sites, why in the world would I put any more personal information here than is necessary? LOL. Unlike you, I do not thrive on my online, toy airplane persona.
