   I'll save you some trouble. Klahn is the actual moderator here. He's tried to   
   hijack Earl's echo several times, and I just thought I'd tweak his nose in his   
   own echo over it.   
      
      
   In ordinary circumstances I'd completely ignore Klahn. He's an asshole who is   
   troublesome only for the sake of being troublesome. He has an inflated ego   
   which makes him blind to the fact that other people have opinions of their   
   own, and they may (just may) differ from his. He's also a `good union man',   
   who has nothing whatever against violence committed by unionists to `get their   
   way'.   
      
      
   He cannot engage in a discussion without resorting to snide little remarks and   
   insults....but is quick to condemn others if they give back as good as he   
   dishes out. He's a verbal bully...and I suspect a physical bully as well.   
      
      
   Which is probably a few of the reasons why this echo is so dead most of the   
   time.   
      
      
   There was another guy who owned this echo and Klahn ended up getting it when   
   they left Fido.   
      
      
   The other guy didn't like me any more than Klahn does, because I:   
      
      
   1. Am not (repeat NOT) a republican, but DO adhere to Conservative views.   
      
   2. Am not (repeat NOT) a democrat, because the democrats and their policies   
   aren't the `answer' to America's problems....they are the `cause' of the   
   majority of them.   
      
   3. I didn't (and won't) `go along to get along'. I speak my mind. And that is   
   the main problem Klahn (and the other guy) had with me.   
      
   4. Believe in the Cosntitution in its original intent, and not all this   
   gerrymandering of its meanings the liberal democrats and their cadre on our   
   federal and state courts have twisted it into over the years in which they   
   held power.   
      
      
   And now we come to why Klahn banned me from here.   
      
      
   He says it was because I `didn't know how to behave'.   
      
      
   To him....`behaving' is translated as swallowing lies. Not only swallowing   
   them...but responding in a vein as though those lies were the truth!   
      
      
   And I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't play along. So he banned me to silence me. At   
   least in this echo.   
      
      
   In any case.....the echo is Klahn's.....I just like to tweak his nose whenever   
   I get a chance, mostly because I bother him. And I've taken to enjoying   
   bothering him.   
      
      
   Don't post *to* me in here...I'm banned by the moderator, Klahn.
