Thanks to the Mod Squad

Thanks for the quick reaction to to a recent "Stirring of the Pot" post. I know you guys sometimes take a lot of heat but I also believe you should get a pat on the back for doing what can be a thankless job. Maybe a belly rub considering the forum you are trying to moderate. On second thought, let's leave it at the back pat.

You're welcome.
Feels good to be appreciated, really don't like to be the heavy.

What happens on this forum clearly reflects the difference between Americans who are accustomed to free speech and a country where you can get arrested for expressing your opinion- we may be neighbors but there is a big difference between the soul of our countries - remember our countries were founded by entirely different groups of people - whereas we fought against the King to obtain freedom Canada started with people who supported the King and didn't fight for freedom - if I say something that some others don't like it gets locked down - this same thing happens in many European countries - that's why I would never live anywhere else but the U.S. - "give me liberty or give me death"

Joe, your stuff gets locked down or deleted when you do not follow the rules of this forum that you agreed on.
I'll try to make it simple for you in an example below:

If a rule states "you can't say crap", and you join this forum after agreeing that you won't say crap, everything would be fine.
But no, you log in and say "Crap". So that is just another strike against you. I look back at the amount of moderation it has taken to try and keep you and the agreed apon rules on an even keel here. It's crazy and I have to wonder why you feel the need to bring your "american" crap to this Ontario, Canada forum? Why not stay on US sites with the people you believe in and leave us alone?

I lived in Canada for awhile and often go there to fish - that's why the interest - over the years I have noticed a big change in your country - not for the better - but I guess your right - I'm leaving this forum for good and going where I can say my peace - you got to admit that many of my posts have given this forum a shot in the arm and generated a lot of interest - in the meantime we're getting ready to invade Canada and make it a state - I'll be with the 101st Air Borne division - should only take a week or so -

Joe has every right to express his opinion, while the mods have every right to express theirs. Unfortunately the prior actions and above opinions expressed by the mods do not reflect my personal definition of Canadian hospitality.

Any "invasion" by military force is an idiot's pipe dream. Not one shot would be fired. The annexation of Canada will take place in corporate boardrooms with the soldier's uniforms being $10K Brook's Brothers suits with our politicians wringing their hands saying "Well,we got the best deal we could and you elected us to a 4th term mandate,so,the Stars and Stripes goes up the flagpole tomorrow morning". And THAT will be the end of THAT.......besides, Prime Minister Carney just said "It'll never happen",so,you just gotta know it's already a done deal.
