The first episode was last night and it is truly one of the first shows I have seen in ages that I totally enjoyed from beginning to end.

Trumps reactions and words about the Manchester terror attack PROVE that he will NEVER be a President.  The stupid, insensitive infantile response THEY ARE LOSERS shows he has no compassion, just a frat boy mentality.  MY GOD asshole, you are not posting a twitter reply, you are "addressing the world as President of the United States".   Cant you at least APPEAR a bit more Presidential ?   Your stupid name calling and labelling is INTOLERABLE....   Pretty much everyone is a LOSER in Trumps world....
I cant wait for the day when they are leading YOU away in handcuffs that I can CALL YOU A LOSER !

Deleting it means it is gone forever. Not letting it stand means I can look back at it from time to time and laugh a bit.

I just googled "Ed Chenel" and, inter alia, found the this analysis of his email by snopes.com.
Their analysis reads reasonably enough to me but then several NRA types have commented that the snopes folks are known liberal pinkos of the worse sort so maybe further research is in order.
PS Mr. Chenel's email was first posted in 2001 so, if we project the murder rate percentage increase forward to the present, the entire Australian state of Victoria would be depopulated by now and there would few, if any, oldsters left in the whole of Australia.
Do we have an Australian poster on Boytoy that can verify this for us? RA1, have you had occasion to fly Down Under in the last few years? Seems like some Aussie would have mentioned to you the mass slaughter going on, at least in passing.

I might have an opinion that someone is a giant pain in the ass or a fucked up douche that marinates nightly in his own piss. I certainly have a right to that opinion. But that right does not translate to bring correct, polite or even something worth stating.
We have lots of rights, also responsibilities. One of these is to do our best to be civil and respectful in as much as possible. When someone says their favorite pizza is pepperoni hardly seems like the time to belittle their personal preferences. Especially when their opinions in no way limit my options.

Odd that you say this as the VAST majority of complaints have been against YOU. Not someone else. And, i am not just saying one or two or three. I am using the word VAST as I am an English major and understand the importance of words.
Good moderation is actually not kicking someone off that seems to have so many enemies of long time posters. That is restraint. You pick and poke consistently and then cry wolf when the admins do not agree with you. I am frankly done trying to play middle man between you and the majority. I have sided very heavily toward you in most decisions trying to bring about peace. But, you do not want that. You want your will to be the law of the land. Forget about it as it ain't going to happen. (yes, I used the word ain't and English major in the same passage)

It has only been 49 years ago - I was in the first grade, remember watching a lot of the coverage on TV, but not much else.
