Note: this is a posting on another thread as well - for Bob. Jeez Bob, I have not talked to Ken and I don't need to because I damn well know he would not have made a false claim. Don't you realize when Ken (or anyone for that matter) is willing to go to bat for you, you simply ask too much in needin...

Good deal on creating an alternative. I wish you all the best. I don't personally have the inclination to look into it as the USHPA suits me just fine.

Are you interested in dual citizenship?

Bob, Look inside yourself. For some reason you really don't want to help the people or causes you say you stand for. There were (are) much better ways that would actually have gone much further to help those people and causes you speak of, and without all the toxicity and vitriolic nonsense that cam...

Hey Bob, Sorry to say, you still don't get it. And I tried before you will remember! 1) First, make your comments short and sweet. Life is short! 2) Let go of the past entirely (AND THE POLITICS)! You are carrying too much baggage and everyone is tired of hearing and/or dealing with it. Additionally...

Bob, you are such an ornery cuss. You know that Ken will go out of his way to work in good faith for you. Thus, your ridiculous, over-the-top request just to call his bluff?!: "OK Ken, I'm calling your bluff. Please write up EXACTLY - and in the form of a contract - the precise terms and condit...

And there is no can of worms regarding personal attacks. Let's not make a big thing out of nothing. elect someone ethical and trustworthy and let them decide. we don't need a committee to bog a simple situation down. A judge of the United States Supreme Court found it very hard to define what hard-c...

Joe Faust, I have no doubt personal attacks should be banned and there should be zero tolerance. Just take a look at OP's comment at "donations" of the flying politics thread.

Joe, I mistakenly voted wrongly on your vote. the only "1" there. Can you correct this?

Bob, you must admit Ken's message was funny even if it hurt a little. Hey, we have all been there. I find I have to laugh at myself from time to time for the mess I get myself into with others! Hey, read my post on the heading of shall we ban you or not. You needn't reply. I just remember a cool dud...

JD, nicely written.

Jim, I for one appreciate your post very much. And as you already know, I am sure the silent majority of us Kagelites do as well!

As my good friend in England likes to say, "Well done!" - to both of you.

Brian and Bob, am I missing something? Did JD suggest not to list here also? Unless I am all wet, an apology may be in order from you both. If I stand corrected I will gladly do so myself.
