Oh, sweet jaysus... Another wave of Tight End jokes in 3, 2, 1....

I don't think it matters if you play football or work in sales. There are some people who are well-adjusted and have their E36 M3 together, and some who do not.

Salespeople are probably not the best group to use an example of the well-adjusted.

Fair enough. But the point, it is still made, is it not?

Salesmen are generally not trained in the finer art of violence and steroid use. High pressure tactics and three martini lunches, sure...

A +1 to you, my friend, because you deserve it ... saying something I thought maybe wasn't "politically correct" for this overly and unreasonably "strict" forum for marketing purposes. After all, this is the 21st century, and wouldn't it be more important for potential advertisers to see what's really going on here than merely guessing, or being misled? Thank you, sir!
Patio. In the spirit of Fr Rutlers light hearted history book 'Coincidentally' I did notice this happened around Easter week and the person in question had signed a 40 million dollar contract but ended up committing suicide. Not the same scenario as Judas Iscariot but...
No Gary, we "mods" don't. We don't have control over any of the voting on anyone's posts. All members get one upvote or downvote per post. You seem upset about something, but I'm not really sure what or why, or why you keep deleting your posts.

I'm not really upset about anything. And why would it matter to you if I decide to change my mind about a post and amend it? Isn't that our right here?
So, when you suggested that we are not allowed to have honest communication, first in "my opinion", I assume referring to me directly, and then you changed it to "in this environment" and then deleted that post entirely, and then when you suggested that mods can manipulate the votes for their own posts, and deleted that post, you weren't upset about something? That's good to know.

To Eastcoast Mofo: Are we not "allowed" to change, or alter our post? Sometimes we want to do that. I think many, or most of us, do this on occasion. But only you, as a moderator, have the power to see what we are all doing, and can effect that as you see fit. It probably isn't appropriate for you, as a moderator, to post your opinion of our opinions.

Go to prison a tight end, come out a wide receiver.
Eventually, you may have to tie up a loose end
Where did Margie's post go? Did eastcoastmofo delete it and ban her?
No, Margie deleted her own post. I'm not power-mad enough to ban Margie from her own forum lol.
