I never saw anything in Tony's original post about not being able to express an alternative opinion. I think he's just looking for civility and respectfulness. Works for me.
I'm sorry if I seemed abrasive. If you actually thought that I was, however, you need to get some thicker skin. This is an awesome forum and I think that different view points draw more and more people to it. I mean ,the bulletin board side of it is good, but how much is there to discuss on the ORD parking pass?And yes, everything that I post, I would state verbally in front of everyone. Don't forget though, that since we are not face to face, some things may be taken the wrong way. just my .02 cents
