You don't agree with me?? Whadda ya nuts or something?

I just wanted to address an issue that bubbles up from time to time that always bugs me. Occasionally, we don't agree on everything. I know, I know, that just sounds crazy, but it's true. We're all free thinking people and we don't always agree.


But we are also friends and neighbors. And friends don't always have to agree.


I hope nobody ever gets mad and drops out of our little community over something I say. I'm just expressing my opinions, which is kind of the point of the whole exercise. Back in the days when we were over on that commie mouthpiece the CJ Urinal, we would get booted off or deleted at the whim of some godless left wing censor who followed the dictates of a whining pervert who haunted our blog. That's not how it works around here.


Now I know, you're saying, but Safe! You guys are pretty rough on the fake doc who comes around here to express his opinion. And sometimes you guys just summarily delete his comments. So what about that Mister Everybody gets their say?


Well, I'm glad you asked. That's different. You all know the fake doc comes around here all full of himself, his giant ego leading him to our little blog where he fancies himself the smartest guy here, towering above all us hayseeds in Kansas. He insults us, he demeans us, he attacks us and our city and our state. He could choose to have an actual conversation here but instead he takes the low road pretty much every time. So he gets what he gives.


And the worst thing he does is personally attack my friend Sarge. He seems to focus his hatred on Sarge pretty often. Now Sarge is perfectly capable of defending himself, and does so without hesitation, but when you attack Sarge you are crossing a line. Sarge is a charter member of this blog. He's been around as long as we have and he was with us on the CJ Urinal as well. People might not know Sarge but he is a generous, kind person. He provides hours and hours of work to make the Summit happen, and spends a bunch of money to feed everybody. And above all, this man devoted his working life to serving out country in the military. And anybody that doesn't appreciate the sacrifice that takes doesn't know shit from shinola. And the fake doc seems to have a special dislike for Sarge which I find personally offensive.


And the same story goes for the fake doc and Kevin. He seems to hold Kevin in contempt, attacking him based on what he does for a living and the very fact he has the cajones to do this blog.


So, when you come around here attacking and insulting you don't earn the right to have a conversation. You earn the right get back what you give.


But everybody else? Hey, if you disagree with me, say so. We can talk about it or not. But this is an opinion blog. And we won't always like each other's opinion.


This isn't the democrat/communist party where you either toe the line or you're out. The communist party has a long history of purging anybody who disagrees with them. Stalin murdered millions of people simply because they opposed him taking over. That's how they work. That's not how we work.


If we can't disagree on some points and still be friends, then Kevin and I are wasting our time. Because if we have to make everybody happy then we both need to just shut up and talk about the weather.


So let's agree to agree on this. We're friends. We have some similar views, we have some dissimilar views. But always remember this.


In the department store of life, this is the toy department.
