re: Otto is a complete POS.

You can't differentiate between someone advocating following precedent set on this board

only precedent that should be followed is written in the guidelines. Pandering to a whimsical, subjective admin is cowardice. Like those who got Jesus crucified, or like a soccer injury, get bumped, maybe even do the bumping, then fall on the ground writhing in pain screaming for an Admin.

and again I was only messaging the tattle tail mentality.

And there is plenty of leeway in those guidelines for the subjective manner in which the admins enforce such bannings.

To show you how odd your logic is, you cited the crucifixtion of Jesus along side a soccer player taking a fall to support argument. Good lord.

Of course, yet when you can't take into account the poster, I'm not sure what to say. Otto has a history of flaming, all the while bitching about ad hominems.

I don't get involved in threads like this normally, but the history of the poster puts nearly everything he has to say into serious doubt.

I'll say this, I know less about Festus than I do Otto, but the few interactions I have had with the guy have been nothing but pleasant and down right nice.

If you don't politically align yourself with Otto, he'll drop as many nuclear bombs on you as possible.

If Otto is being judged on past flames, would you not look at the motive behind those who complain? Seems that they are gunning to be the guy who takes a person out. Is Otto acting in kind?

By saying Otto is a POS? You're making this way more complicated than it really needs to be.

Otto went into a thread about a soldier getting his legs blown off, and ridiculed the soldier, calling him and his kind "suckers". Most posters think that was a real POS thing to do. I started this thread for no other reason than to bring it to the attention of the admins. It's their site, they can do whatever they want with it.I don't care if they ban him. But, others on the site should have the opportunity to know that Otto is willing to ridicule soldiers on this site.

A side benefit for me was watching which trolls would come and defend Otto. Thankfully, it was few. It's embarrassing. I wish those posters supporting Otto would support our soldiers even half as much. But in their eyes, they would be supporting the enemy. It's a shame.

yes and spending anytime trying to understand his logic is a waste. I suspect he is sitting in his mothers basement now, popping zits and picking scabs untill he jumps into another flame. He just isnt worth the time, you cant cure stupid.

No problem, Woodworker.

She's sort of in the average range, I guess. My wife and I still have the highest hopes in the world for her, but we have met with some disappointment of late. She can write her name, but doesn't really know very many of her letters or numbers.

She is mainstreamed in her Kindergarten class, but with significant help from a para-professional. The teachers have been amazing and they send home all the regular homework the rest of the class is doing. She gets it done, but suffice it to say that mom and dad have to sit with her through it all and work on it.

My four year old son is significantly beyond where his older sister (she is 7) is at the moment. It's just a matter of realistically assessing each child's abilities and pushing them forward, but not towards goals you realize they can't attain and lead to problems in the process.

I expect that she will be able to hold a job when she gets older, but it won't be anything overly challenging. I say that, but understand things like the American with Disabilities Act are highly likely to make her chance of getting a job much harder than they would be without that law in place.

We expect that she will always live with, but that in no way takes away from our hopes that she can surprise us with the things that she will achieve that her mother and I may have thought out of reach for her. :)
