WHEN someone begins to affect me negatively I take DIRECT ACTION, without consent or support of whomever may happen to lie at hand. Much of this smacks of very unexcellent PC douchebaggery so in vogue. Essentially a gossip-circle and personality tribunal are not what I am here for. I CAN and WILL understand the concerns of the offended, but know that we all have very subjective viewpoints, and I personally have NOT witnessed anything but exemplary behavior from both James and Dru both inside and outside of NB.

> perhaps I am just an old dinosaur from the Jimmy Cagney?Cary Grant/Bobby Mitchum days....but grow up and get back to work...IGNORE the fools...let THEM be asses...we should keep an eye out for the space, but please you guys, lets refrain from being ninnys.......there is some unholy "Stalinist shite floating aabout, completely unneccessarily....handle your shit, stop mobbing on people, and reflect on the fact that I AM OPPRESSED BY YOUR MANUFACTURED SENSITIVITY.

> I do, and it is interesting to me that it would appear that with the i net and cel phone, the mighty rise of queer identity, that the self righteous arbiters of morality have now become as oppressive as those unenlightened folks before them.
