As I mentioned in this thread to another poster, forgiveness has to be
sought. Without that, forgiving has no meaning. It only makes the
forgiver "feel" good. I feel pretty good already. If you follow the
advice
of the scriptures, and turn the other cheek, you'd damn well better
go out and get a big supply of cheeks. Cuz they're gonna be back.
I choose to carry on until there is contrition, regret and remorse.
Until that is forthcoming, I'll continue to respond in a manner equal
or exceeding the nasty conduct of Bass, that precipitates this
whole issue.

It is what it is, Roland.

What I said when you first arrived here, still holds true. I suggested
that your best choice is to pick through the bull shit and look for the

diamonds. I would hope that has more meaning to you now.

Be patient, though. It's not going to last for any appreciable amount
of time .....
in the scheme of things.
