caress 0 #5 January 21, 2006 If you are speaking of Ron with the little kid in the red shirt with his arms open like he is going to hug you for an avatar. I love that man! He is awesome! He tells what he thinks and feels with no bullshit and that is my kind of guy. I can say this he is straight up, and backs his answers up with fact. He doesnt candy-coat, and he is a very caring person. I enjoy reading his posts and I learn alot from him. I respect him. I have seen several people get angry with him for his posts, and not everyone enjoys his bluntness. you can't please everyone all the time, but sometimes you can plant seeds for thought in someone and they grow. He wants people to have fun, but he wants us to do it with the ability to have the best judgement possible so we can adapt and overcome so people dont get hurt or die. He knows with knowledge comes common sense.I think that is how he feels about things, but that is must my opinion. I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right.

RhondaLea 4 #8 January 21, 2006 QuoteSome how I get the feeling this is not the Ron you are talking about Oh well. -Caress You have to read the whole thread. The thread itself is about Alex, but Ron is mentioned, along with his banning.

caress 0 #10 January 22, 2006 I certainly agree with you Rhonda but if you read this thread from the beginning, please point out where it says this thread started with Alex? I would love to know.

I would love to know. But thanks for letting me know who the little dude is!-Caress I thought your question was "Where is Ron?" and Newbie's answer was to direct you to the "Alex thread" wherein Ron's banning is also discussed. The Ron you are talking about (with the Calvin avatar) is the same Ron being discussed in the thread. Clearly, I am confused. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,151 #16 January 22, 2006 The REAL Speakers' Corner does not have moderators telling people what they can or cannot say. I like that idea. In fact, why give the forum the name "Speakers' Corner" if you are not going to emulate a place where there truly is freedom of speech. Truth in advertizing, and all that! I disagree with Ron on almost everything, but I'll jump or drink beer with him any day.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

caress 0 #19 January 22, 2006 Got straightened out I think. Free them both, or just enjoy them here. SC will recover I am sure. Alex and Ron obviously gave that forum alot of life and vitality. All you can all do is ask for a reprieve for them both the ultimate decision belongs to those moderaters. It is okay to miss people you have enjoyed for so long.
