Ms. DG.
Since you leveled a personal attack at me, I will lower myself to your standards.
When I said boorish, I was talking to the other guy. Byrd. Not you. Go read it again. Byrd said reprehensible, but I do believe that you used it first.
Also, find anyplace where I portray myself as an authority. That is Kenny DuBose's label for me, not mine. When he began this board, he asked me to join and contribute and write some articles of a general interest.
All I do on this board is answer questions of a general nature when my time and health permit. I have never solicited business on this board. As a matter of fact, on every occasion that has arisen when someone called me off this board, I turned them down. I would consider representing a member of this board, but certainly not in an area which I am not well familiar. To do otherwise would take advantage of the person seeking representation.
As far as condescending to others, those that know me will certainly disagree with you. If I correct someone's total misinformation, am I being condescending? I think not. But there are those fragile egos out there that would feel that way if they were corrected, much like immature, spoiled children.
Who has the ability to delete your posts but you? The moderator? Who has the ability to delete a thread? The moderator and the owner of the thread. You are saying you do not know how they got deleted. Un huh. Ok. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
As to the thread that was deleted, one guy called another guy a liar. Either the moderator deleted the thread or the originator of the thread did. Glad it happened. It was a violation of the board's terms of service.
You still did not answer the guys question on contractual obligation to drill. All the stuff that you cut and pasted has nothing to do with a contractual obligation to drill.
Having said all of that, I did not attack you, did I? So do not attack me. Challenge Kenny Dubose of start a general poll on this board on whose postings they find more valuable and relevant. Yours or mine. If the polls says yours, I will delete my account here. If the polls says mine, why don't you do the same?
Oh, and Happy Birthday.
