Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I can't believe no one's mentioned East Timor.

I also agree with what Dale has posted.

Peter, you're a good man and you are much more tolerant than I would be if I was editing the forum.

That is why he is the administrator not the terminator! Thanx Peter, you are very souvereign. I, for myself think the politics start at my door (inside and outside) and not in a 3rd world country.

Manuel: Your comments were too harsh and at times bordered on insult. This was the reason for the edit. It is entirely possible to make your case without offending others. All I would ask that we move forward in a more sensitive way. I hope you understand.

Thanks Peter. I pretty much gathered the posts would have been edited.

You are exactly right, my comments "at times bordered on insult", and that was exactly the purpose of the posts. The intellectual level here seems a little higher than on other such forums and I would have hoped what I said hit home.

The point being that, no one regardless of where they happen to be born on this earth, likes to be denigrated. Some of the posts on the forum pretty much are insults to others that happen to live in Korea or Japan or China, or wherever but primarily Asian, by continually choosing to focus on some of their negative aspects.

Well guys, if you dish it out you should be prepared to take it too.

Thanks Manuel. A lesson for all.

Nevermind....

Peter, Thanks for doing a fantastic job running and policing this forum !

I'll get my coat.....
