I apologise for having to post here but rhuebella is a coward and locks every thread he posts on. He also banns any voice that challenges him. Like I said  "a coward". I have like others posted on threads in response to him only to see where he locks opposittion up. What normal folks call piggish behavior.

I will be the 5th person from asheville banned, more are right behind me.

What people need to think of is Ghandi.....feed the monsteres to death.  The Brits didn't know they were evil and wrong either till it was forced upon them.

I think the rest has grown up and left the kinder garden....they have even managed to get their own thoughts and opinions.

Maybe that's what wrong with you who fight for a lost cause...that never have been a cause...just an asking to behave as common people, but it seems we ask to early!

Seanros it's stated that you are all from a University, what kind of University teaches there students to be like little children, by you coming here arguing over something meaningless is beyond me, you are never going to win no matter what you do, sure you could be banned and other kids from your University could follow, but what will that get you from that, NOTHING.

Here, here Samson - I really couldn't have put it better myself.  What a bunch of absolute timewasters.

Sean,

I've read some of the threads and I'd like to ask you a question.... perhaps the question will provoke some thought.

If you were to go to Apex and arrive in a strangers home, would you be disrespectful towards the property within the dwelling or disrespectful towards the gracious host who has welcomed you into their home? To do so would most likely be your last invitation.

If I had come into your home and disrespected your spouse, or mother, your home and it was explained to me that I was disrespectful and I did it again, would I be invited back into your home? Would I be welcome? If I brought my friends next time, would that help my cause? Would you welcome me, us in especially if my friends persisted on knocking on the door?

I did not catch all of the threads, but some. And although I can understand why someone may not understand that this board is actually in a sense someone else's domain, it should be treated with respect and the hosts as well. Nobody here from what I can see since I have been here is rude, nasty, or unreasonable. In fact, it's why I've been sticking around - it's the first board in years that I have found a unity where there isn't competition, we're all learning from each other and we're all chipping in and helping each other. We're all entitled to an opinion and that's all it is, our take on what we think or feel. It doesn't mean we are right or wrong and the consensus may very well back someone on their feelings or thoughts, but the bottom line is, no one is forcing an opinion down anyone else's throat. At least I haven't seen it yet. Strong opinions, I have seen.. but that's ok it doesn't spin my world around, it shouldn't spin anyone else's either. If that's what someone believes or knows based on facts, so be it. Who am I to change their mind? Nobody, other than somebody with an opinion.

It's all about presentation, and as a professional and a professor who needs to captivate his students as well as his peers to reel them in, grab their attention and interest this is something you would know how to do. See with your own eyes, not through the eyes of others.

Rhuto is a fine and very giving person. Far from a coward... and a man of integrity and great conscience.

Please pm me if you have anymore questions.
