Can you accept that I have a responsibility to the forum?

I think it was me....sorry wont happen again just got a little pissed, have had a lot of trouble with the VA over my father. I want to apologize to anyone I offended....Rich

When I read what was said to Neptune it brought back some things about what happened to my father, the VA hospital would not give my father the treatment he needed in a timely manner they made him wait MONTHS for basic things, this for a man who almost gave his life for this country! He died in June of this year and I'm touchy about this government medicine thing! But I am sorry for calling him a name, it will never happen again.....Richard

is there a way to divert this kind of thread when it gets out of the boundries of normal postings, into a join thread, and continue off site?
that would seem fair that the thread would end with......
;; moved to www.freechat.norules.com'' or something the post before it was offensive to the rules here?

I had wanted to post in the original thread, but I was afraid I couldn't be civil, and it was already going downhill ... FAST. I think that spaceagent-9's idea has some merit, but I'm not sure how feasible it is.

The best way to deal with a thread getting out of hand is to click the RED Excalmation mark upper right corner of every post.
