Not speaking for anyone else here. For me, there's a line that's not to be crossed. For instance, if you're a racist, you've crossed it, and I'll have nothing at all to do with you, not now, not ever. Similarly, anyone who says America deserved to be attacked on 9/11, or, is happy that we were attacked on 9/11, also has crossed it. I also think that when you come into someone's house, you show respect and conduct yourself with civility, or, you should be asked to leave.

Congrats guys, on the promotion, and access to the admin hacks. I highly recommend the cloak of inivisibility hack, which you can use to walk right up to not-so-mean Dean, and cut HIS balls off.

You see the same responses as regards the current political scandals or when young people are questioned about any aspect of history or current affairs. These people aren't stupid. They're just ignorant, in part because our shools are failing but mostly because they are entirely captive in a different culture that is alien to we older Americans. As many of them said, they just don't care; they reject traditional American society and its core values - including education and personal responsibility. I don't know if we can fix that. I fear for the future of the country; these people vote.

"and breast sizes" - with pictures, PLEASE? Oh, and if you need someone to judge, I have extensive experience in that regard...

Happy birthday Killingham!!!

Have a great birthday Dirk!!

Most kind Cross. Thank you!!

Fair comment as regards me Damage - I don't know about Ph4nt0m's situation. But Hxtr "lived here" for many years, racking up, I believe, more than 7,000 posts - upbeat, supportive, and funny. He is and always has been a genuinely nice guy, giving when he could, making others laugh, keeping it going. He gave much of himself to XI - too much, as he found. He obsessed with the web site and it was having a negative impact on his life. He felt he had to leave to regain control. Certainly, he didn't want to do that. He said he saw it as necessary for his personal well-being. His doing so certainly does not diminish in any way his huge contributions here, a depth of involvement and dedication to XI that, I would suggest, deserves better, than just "fkem." Rather, he is to be commended for all he has done for the clan and I feel sure his many, many friends here would agree.

HEY!!! Just a minute there Hans - I'm not gone. I'm right over here - in that somewhat cobwebbed corner of XI looking at naked Japanese women on the XI web site and, uh, getting reacquainted with myself, so to speak. Appreciate the thought though.

Did you have her for lunch or take her to lunch??? That would be "for" lunch. Hard to believe now, but back in the day I was a studly type guy who thought taking women "to" lunch a waste of time and money; better just to "git 'er done" and move on to the next one. (And yupper, I expect the XI ladies are going to hammer me for that one... )

Indeed it does. But we have many more registered users than clan members and additional forums would be available to all of them, thus possibly increasing site participation to all our benefit.

It is a terrible thing to taunt we old farts with images of such sweet young things. We have only the memories of what it was like to have one of these darlings for lunch.

Over here in registered member land one gains appreciation for the social networking aspects of XI. In thinking about ways to broaden interest and appeal, I wonder if some additional forums would help. Suggestions: HOME, GARDEN & HOBBIES - Working on the house or garden, traveling, into photography? MUSIC AND VIDS - What are you listening to today? ALL THINGS SPORTS - Who's going to win or lose; what are you into in recreational sports? (Music is very popular on the site but doesn't have a home where folks can find it in one place.) Have a great day...

(Please disregard. Due to lack of coffee, I posted in the wrong area.)

Besides which, you had enough medals hanging on your chest to melt down and make a new car with.

If that was my child I would have my revenge, regardless how long it took. And it wouldn't be pretty.

Good to hear LOC

これは長続きしませんので希望は非常によく翻訳しません。

As I well know, you've got to do what you've got to do. In time, I will be back my good friend and I hope you will be too, so that we can both start over, together, as we did more than six years ago. Peace, and all my best!!!!

The body has lots if ways to heal itself. For instance, testosterone aids in healing the skin. So the sooner you quit jerking off six times a day with your right hand, the quicker your left hand will heal. Hang in there LOC, you know we're all thinking of you every day!

There are those rare, but unforgettable times, when he joins me there...

Done. Thanks Olive!!

You bring tears to an old man's eyes. But let's put this to rest - I don't want to dwell on it. As someone said, it's a different conversation in the admin group. Bottom line, I pushed too hard on something and in so doing I acted toward some like a first-class prick, toward others, condescending and arrogant. That's not me, I'm ashamed of it, and I realized I needed a time out. I left the clan to punish myself and get my shit in order - no other reason. God knows it was not to abandon friends here or because anyone asked me to leave - to their great credit, not even the folks toward whom I acted like an asshole. And you all know - as evidenced right here by the expressions in this thread - there is NO greater punishment than self exile from XI and such wonderful people, period, end of story! But this was what I needed to do - for me, and to me. And believe you me it's working. What's done is done. I couldn't come back now if I wanted to (we have rules about that) but the thing is, I'm not ready to, so let's move on. When I feel I have my head back on straight I hope to come back not as Harry the Moron, but (hopefully) as Harry the Idiot. Meantime I'll be around - here as a registered member, and in the game. A thousand thank-you's - I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me to be able to count you as my friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Kate. That's my problem: don't know if I'm coming or going...
