OK, it's Christmas Eve here. Time to let the fish off the hook<br><br>Since I started this thread, I received some personal letters. Some showed sympathy, some didn't, and some others didn't want to take side. Here's a little explanation of my motives.<br><br>First, if you pictured me as angry, you got it wrong. It's not wrath that made me do it. I'm still as cool as before.<br><br>Some of you appreciate Mungo for the Joker he is. I even do. His parody of Zoomby-Woof is very good. But he's too often the kind of a Joker that even a King can't control. I don't mind mockery, it's a form of flattery in a sense. What I can't stand is lies, repeated lies.<br><br>In the last year, I posted about politic views that didn't fit his. I've no problems with that. We could go as mocking each other in a gentleman manner. But, I grew tired of having him say that I'm pro-Saddam and anti-Americans. I'm anti USA Politics, Bush and his gang, right, but not anti-Yankees, or anti-Rednecks, and I'm certainly not a fan of Saddam. I have sympathy for the common man in USA. And I made that clear numerous times.<br><br>In the beginning, I didn't made much of it. I replied the way I was spoken to. But I grew tired of it. So, the last time he accused me of these "sins", I asked him to find a single post to prove what he's accusing me of. He kept eluding the question over and over again, repeating the same lies over and over again, and adding new ones. Some may say that I lack a certain sense of humor but I felt there was something else here.<br><br>I felt he was not respecting me and I felt it was not right. If he was an honest man, he could have posted something like "Alright, Alright, I can't prove you're this and that, so I'll stop repeating the same lies over and over" and that would have been it. End of the case. <br><br>I feel it is not right if anybody on this forum can accuse somebody else of anything without backing it up. If he could have backep it up, I would have said "OK, you're right", but he didn't. So, all he was saying from that point was crap to me. Thus the idea of "Uncle Crap". As long as he was not respecting me, why should I respect him ?<br><br>I played the same game as him. Someone said I lowered myself. In a sense, it's true. But what it did for me is that, in the last days, he's been off my case. He kept quiet. Even though I'm still waiting for him to find "evidences" about my "sins", and I know he won't be able to, he didn't reply with his usual "Youre pro-Saddam, you're anti-Americans". Peace at last. And it probably introduced him to some new comers.<br><br>The key for me here is RESPECT. Lying about another member of this forum is a lack of respect. THAT is lowering ourselves and putting us on par with other forums. I don't know how YOU would react to this, but that's how I reacted. I was fed up. Now, some of you will still be my friend, some of you will elude me, and maybe I made some new ennemies. I don't know. I never asked anyone to take sides. That never was the point.<br><br>I'll keep posting. Too much fun for me in it. That forum is a wonderful place for a big melting pot of different views and ideas. Some really funny stuff too. We're a really good bunch and I guess Frank would have been happy with that. Like a big Family, we have to learn to respect each other.<br><br>Now, what's wrong with that ? <br><br>Happy Holidays to all, including Mungo !
