We are going through some changes and we won’t be perfect. Patience is needed. Diversity of thought is needed.

One thing @bitkahuna and myself adamantly agree upon is no personal attacks. We have let our hair down with related political commentary but it’s becoming sadly obvious we might have to go back to a hard line policy as some people simply cannot help themselves by insulting others.

Bit and I have known each other for what 25 years or so? We have also had ups and downs in our relationship. He doesn’t own a Lexus anymore and I do. We have had laughs and apologized to each other after hard conversations. We are both here to lead and help CL as much as we can. I have always admired him and seen him as a big bro.

Now off to have a good lunch i might post pics lol
Personal insults arent political related I feel. The insults came when someone has an axe to grind and disagrees with people's preferences. I'm somewhat guilty of it myself, but I dont believe I went as far as calling someone names in this forum and certainly not for political reasons.

My post was a reply to the overall situation, not to you. I don’t recall you making personal attacks

There was like one maybe 2 people who were fighting, the rest of us were engaged in civil and respectful debate.

I mean it's not hard, make your point without insulting someone. Don't be an *******.

Uuuugh… was never a fan of SS, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one movie of his. Was surprised he got Kelly LeBrock 😳 😬

The laugh was meant more for how Steven Seagal ran than the DMX meaning, which is far from what I picture you as being… well maybe the “no-nonsense attitude” might be correct
