    Hardly a cop out. I've made a decision. There is a god but no religion is correct. Thanks for ###-uming.

    I've never had an accident in a car or truck and i've never drived dangerously.... And that is hardly an excuse to attack my religion. How would you feel if i said that about your religion? Hell, I'd be BANNED from the forum. But no, its ok because im just an agnostic.

    Teddy Salad, this post is way over the line and unwarranted. We do not allow personal attacks.

    We welcome a diversified variety of members and allow them to express themselves including their personal beliefs. As long as they follow the forum Rules that we have in place. You are not following those rules, Teddy Salad.

    Kickin Chicken my apology was sincere and a one time thing. I am not exactly sure which part of my post was unwarranted. I would have thought the kidnapping/torture part, but maybe it was the part about making a decision regarding whether God exists. My wife was hit by a "Professional" truck driver about 7 years ago. Not her fault at all. her car was totaled and he drove off. she was about 50 yards from her work and she left her car and went to her work. Her boss (A great guy) immediately took her in his car and chased/caught up to the driver delivering around the corner in an industrial park. Called the cops/ambulance. Driver arrested/fired. Wife taken to hodspital. Trucking company paid for car, but not hospital. I forget the company, but they were out of Kentucky. I had a flashback of that and if I am kicked off this forum for that..so be it. phroziac spoke about a driver in a 4 wheeler DESERVING to die because of a stupid mistake. Was that unwarranted? I thought it was outrageous and so I made my comment. If you don't think that his comment was unwarranted, maybe I don't want to be on this site. Funny, I just made a post a few days ago how I liked most everyone on this site and have enjoyed it very much...until now. If I am banned for THIS post, well...who really cares, it's just a freaking website.

    phroziac, if you believe God exists, you are not agnostic. Belief in God has nothing to do with religion. Also, agnosticism is not a religion.

    Here is my thoughts on this,
    Teddy Salad, Since you could not Under Stand Simple English, Let me make more simple for You to comprehend.

    This happens to be a TRUCKER website, You and anyone else is WELCOME here, THIS Forum Has RULE, YOU got your Winky Smacked now sit down and play Nice.

    a side note to You, IF you are angry with all Truck Drivers this is NOT the Place for you, If you are only going to spread Hate and Discontent, Maybe you should find something else to do.

    Since you are not good at Simple English, Play NICE or get off the play ground, Name calling, hair pulling and Biting are not allowed.

    Now do ya get it.

    I apologized, but I did not take it WAY out of context.

    Your story made no sense, neither did your layman's explanation. Sounds like a truck stop story is all.

    If you knew that the woman you were doing in your truck was SOMEONES wife, you are also at fault...in my opinion.

    Per your avatar, I am guessing you are a Mason. Would they think infidelity was okay? Maybe at some lodges, not mine.

    I drove a 28' Box truck in Chicago for 10 years and 3 Years as limo driver in Chicago. I am a driver, just not a big trucker.

    I never called anyone a moron.

    A man says a person DESERVES to die because she made a bad decision is outrageous and I am the one that is called to the mat. Beautiful.

    ...waiting to be banned...if I am take care all and PLEASE be safe.
     
    BIG RIGGER Thanks this.

    No one has mentioned you getting banned, Teddy Salad.

    Phrosiac did make a statement about a driver, that was not directed towards a member.
    I had to post the warning even after you apologized because of the nature of what you had posted. You insulted a member (Phrosiac) for their beliefs.
    We do not allow this. We hope that you understand and ride by the rules from now on:)

    Is this a little over reaction, considering the post started out about not slowing down for speed zones with warning lights.

    Not sure how personal belief got in to this, but the fact of openly admitting the ability (or desire) to kidnap and torture is apparently ok, as long as you don't verbally attack beliefs of others.

    Come folks get a grip here, really. None of this happened.

    Hey Whoa,
    Got a Question for ya, if a Woman has Sex with a Man and Unbeknown to him she is married, Is he In the Wrong.
    My Opinion HELL NO.
    So before you go throwin out accusations, be careful about that one.
    Teddy Before you go off slamming My Good name, think about it You said you know my Uncle Hiram, I am hoping you will take his advice and and travel out East to see him Soon.
