I mean - we're on a WHISTLE board, for goodness sake!!!!!
We can't be normal!!!
One of the quickest ways to tick me off, is to call me Normal. :P Can't help my ethnicity nor gender, but I try to not let it get in the way. I cannot help my sexual identity either, but wouldn't hold anyone else's sexual identity against them... not my style.

But I do have to admit that I have a low tolerence for those who cannot seem to refrain from foolish behavior or posts that point accusational fingers at others for something imagined, or simply without legitimate foundation. That kind of stuff really makes my colon sweat. :really:

I'll tell you what, Bill. We're gonna have you neutered, get you your shots, trim your toenails, and get a litter box set up for you. There are some real cat-lovers around here and you just made the mistake of getting mixed up with 'em :lol: .

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

I like this place because it is
..... one long endless shaggy dog story
..... a place to talk music, some styles more than others
..... a place where some can turn water into whine
..... a place to hang out with friends, to share joys and woes
..... often a very funny place
..... a very humane place
..... a place for intelligent discussion
..... a place that some people still can't appreciate, despite all of the above
..... a place where those who most threaten to leave never do so

Folks. . . . maybe one reason many of us (though not by any means all) are white is that we all like IRISH music. It might be relevant.


There are many, many injustices based on race/creed/color/reference/etc. We do not need to invent more of them.

OK -- One more time, and any others will just have to add their own --
A lamb, a dog, a cat, a hamster, a monkey, a cartoon duck, badgers and a woebegone wombat, an owl, a dolphin, a scottie, and of course, whatever gonzo is, plus an arboreal, nocturnal green pudding and a partridge in a pear tree.
