So far, QvD, three people have down-thumbed you for writing what you did. I promise that I wasn't one of them!

[wink]
I’m over the downvote thing, it’s a broken and useless system. Most of them (80+%) were from Croix. There are posters who will give me 5-10 at a clip just to be vindictive. Good Catholics right? 🙄 I very seldom give a downvote even though I’m tempted to give many, I try to practice self control. 😀

I appreciate the information, Captain Obvious, that this isn't my forum.  Nevertheless, I am as entitled as you are to post my opinions.  Evidently your hypocrisy escapes you in trying to dictate what I can and cannot post here.  You'll note that I didn't even request that claudel be banned for his vulgar comments, merely said that I would ban him if he were on a forum that I moderated.
I find it interesting (surprising?) that most posters here have ignored the vulgarity (at best).  I can see messing up as we all do from time to time, but then I would think a Catholic gentleman (especially an older and wiser one) would at least apologize for it once brought to his attention.

Vermont, you are absolutely correct and I apologize! I think you know me well enough to know that I’m very careful about using any profanity or vulgarity. Not long ago I legitimately criticized Croix regarding his effeminate downvoting attacks against you, me and others. I even apologized to the forum for going a bit too far. I reread Claudel’s posts on this thread and some were certainly vulgar and crass. I still like Claudel’s style, but I suggest that he retract the posts. (This is coming from a “Baby Boomer”. 😀)

QVD, I absolutely figured you must have missed it because I KNOW you would never speak/write that way .... nor condone it. :-)

IMO, the downvote option is a good feature of this forum, and I have more downvotes (percentage-wise) than most forum members. I don't assume vindictiveness with the downvotes, though it's a possibility.

Downvoting helps to ease arguments, since a downvote can be given instead of argument. Otherwise, this thread would probably be even more contentious.

However, I upvoted Alaric's post #109 on this thread, because it made sense.
