And no one needs to worry about anyone who posts in the thread I'm going to create, seeing this thread we're in now.
What's going to get members in trouble is when I see that they've looked at the subject line of the thread I'm going to create, and went immediately into posting to it, without reading even the first post of the thread. This occurs, most certainly it does, and I can see when it occurs, and I am here to tell you that I have had it with that kind of behavior, and you probably will get the chance to see a member or two smacked hard for pulling that shit.
Not only this thread and the thread to be created, but all threads in this forum- I am going to start coming down hard on members who can't be bothered to read the thread. And don't tell me about how difficult it is to read through a 50 page thread. Some of you can't be bothered to read the last post in a thread, or even the very first post in a thread.
I've told you guys before and I'm telling you again- if there's a long thread and you can't read it all, scroll down the pages and look for my avatar. Stop when you see it and at least read those posts, and this goes double when I am the author of the thread. Over and over and over again, members fail to even scan the thread and miss posts from me that will keep them out of hot water.
The mode of communicaton in this forum is the written word. Some of you guys need to get this through your heads. Pay attention to what's been posted in a thread before you post to it and all will be well.
Man I hope it works, sure would be nice.
Most likely those same people will miss these instructions in this post, regardless if inside this thread or the new thread.
Heck it could be the first post, in bold and they'll go right past it.
They just read the title and then the "I gotta contribute a post" mentality will take over...

Tomorrow, gents. You'll have your thread tomorrow.

So Thank You, once again.
Yes, thank you Para. I have to go to Seattle for medical care, and I don't have much idea if that's even safe. TV news and seattletimes won't cover anything of substance.

Big Bore LoverI'm late to this post and must clearly say thank you Para. I have seen and supported your words and thoughts for years. I think that is in part why I have been a member here for as long as I have. Our situation is not at all what I ever dreamed would happen to our great country. Thanks again and know I stand with you.

IvanPara - I'm with you, and feel much the same.
I've found myself studying the fall of Rome, and other civilizations to find the similarities. Last night's lesson was the very simple "the pen is mightier than the sword". Today's pens are social media and the corrupt MSM.
We need a way to better communicate to the masses, and a better group of voices.
