I Believe In:
...telling it like it is. I'm not going to sugar coat something or say something because that's what you want to hear. My opinion is my opinion. While you may not agree with it, I will make every effort to explain my opinion. ...or you can feel free to ask why my opinion is what it is. I'll be more than happy to explain. ***Let this serve as a general apology. I, usually, will not apologize for having my opinion, especially after I've explained my view=point. However, I will say, that my opinion has been successfully swayed several times because someone explained their opinion and was able to sway mine after presenting their facts or reasons. It's not arguing, it's called debating. If I'm wrong in my opinion, I'll admit it. But explain why I'm wrong, don't be a self-centered tool and just tell me I'm wrong. Explain why.

I'm not starting anything. Just stating a fact and my opinion. If you think I'm starting something back up, that's your interpretation and ignorance.  (22 hrs ago | post #67)

I haven't looked into the law very much, since I've been using a blue tooth while driving since they came out, the new law doesn't affect me much. But I am curious as to what is defined as an "emergency " in the statute.  (22 hrs ago | post #9)

Drivers getting ticketed for violating new cell phone law - San...

You can get electronic air horns now. I have one in one of my cars...it's the same thing as what patrol cars and ambulances have, just minus the not-so-legal siren function. It's a hoot! ...one lady cut me off on hwy 87 and then proceeded to slam on her brakes while she was busy yakking on her phone. In order to prevent from ramming her, I ended up slamming on my brakes and skidding up to her on the drivers side. A nice, long blast of the electronic air horn and her open window caused her to drop the phone out the window. Check out a JC Whitney catalog or their website.  (Saturday | post #5)

Review: Orchard Supply Hardware

You're using the "Craftsman lifetime guarantee" as a selling point???? Every hand tool manufacturer these days offers a "lifetime guarantee". The $3 socket set I bought at Grand Auto has a lifetime guarantee. Let's face it. Craftsman just isn't the same quality it once was.  (Saturday | post #10)

Just as my profile states, my opinion can be changed if you present something to support your side. I asked you what you felt makes your site great. A claim you made. Instead of answering the question, you started a flame war. What department do you work in? Let's say you're an appliance specialist. Are you going to tell your potential customer "see for yourself" after they ask you a question about an appliance? So I didn't post any Lowe's related articles while I've been on vacation, now what? What exactly does my not posting anything prove? Thank you for finally answering a simple question. Was that really so hard?  (Saturday | post #26)

Still spouting that non-sense, avoiding questions and making personal attacks on people I see. Very classy, following me into a forum which you have no connection too, with no other intention but to personally attack me... Yes, you are the pinnacle of greatness. :::rolls eyes:::  (Saturday Jun 7 | post #55)

Who has the flame obsession? Now you're following me into other forums and reposting quotes from my profile... You're name calling and choosing not to answer a basic question about your website and then attacking me first by needlessly reposting pieces of my Topix profile is indicative of the true "troll". Someone of such upstanding turpitude would not have needed to needlessly repost my profile info in the first place. That wasn't a personal attack???  (Saturday Jun 7 | post #18)

Sunnyvale police shoot, kill one person, arrest two near schools

So you present a scenario about alleged police misconduct without the other sides story...kind of hypocritical of your statement isn't it? Serving cops coffee qualifies you as knowing "their side"?  (Saturday Jun 7 | post #53)

Any Lowe's Employees on this forum?

If you're only here to edit news articles then why, oh why, did you repost a passage from my profile. You started the argument my making a personal attack on me and then deflect your actions by calling me a troll. I simply asked you a question as to what makes your site great, as you claim. I'm sorry you have a problem with answering a simple question and, for some reason, needed to post my profile info....  (Saturday Jun 7 | post #16)

Any Lowe's Employees on this forum?

So it's my imagination that you cut and pasted a passage from my Topix profile? Refer to post #8 above, which you posted. I'm sorry you think this is territorial. But deflecting from the point aside, why is it you don't want to explain anything about your website? Why would I want to visit that other any of the other sites? All I asked is a simple question, to which you keep avoiding answering and you cut and past a statement from my profile. What you quoted is true. You can change my opinion by supporting yours and presenting your evidence supporting your opinion. But I have no idea how that pertains to my simply asking you "what makes it 'great'?" I gave no negative or positive opinion, it was a question...which you don't seem to want to answer....  (Jun 5, 2008 | post #13)
