I'm not offended by it either but it says more about the person issuing the insult and the people who think it's funny than it does the person being insulted (haha, look at you, we're all better than you... so funny).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-75372432956611189932011-06-21T19:42:49.584-05:002011-06-21T19:42:49.584-05:00I think Gordon's braces comment was funny, and...I think Gordon's braces comment was funny, and ultimately that's why we listen to Gordon. Mainly because he makes us laugh.

Gordons wireless segment. He said to someone, "Parents couldnt afford braces?" Very much an a-hole moment. It is one thing IF they are at a TICKET event, but this guy did not go to GORDO & say "Hey talk to me." He didnt ask for the trouble. Why the low-blow. A cringe worthy moment that made me turn it down. I think Gordo is greatness, but that was a below the belt comment.P1 Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611271291061001025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-64750031859291594542011-06-20T08:15:23.139-05:002011-06-20T08:15:23.139-05:00Yeah, maybe that's it.
As for forums, I'...Yeah, maybe that's it. <br /><br />As for forums, I'll leave that to grubesismyleader.com. I'd love to be a go-to place for forums and be able to spend enough time to keep them fresh and flame-free, but just haven't got it. Wish I did.<br /><br />The only nod I make in that direction is to welcome off-topic comments. Sometimes those off-topic comments get some good threads going, and prompt me toward what readers are interested in.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-14799332228545823122011-06-19T23:45:31.390-05:002011-06-19T23:45:31.390-05:00I guess the control issues may stem from the natur...I guess the control issues may stem from the nature of the blog (i.e. you need to start/direct each conversation). Not much you can really do about that aside from getting some forums going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-83343983731701216732011-06-18T07:49:23.516-05:002011-06-18T07:49:23.516-05:00As Gordon would say: Huh.

A Uriah Heep-type character is unctuous, obsequious, insincerely humble, falsely modest; in general, oleaginous.<br /><br />Okay. Something there. I can safely cop to some of that.<br /><br />But control issues? In those two years I think I've deleted maybe 4-5 comments (including one in support), and they needed a good sturdy deleting.<br /><br />Anyway, Anonymous, thanks for being there from the start. And MTC strongly favors literary references, so please check in again soon.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-90721277634557707112011-06-18T02:29:26.630-05:002011-06-18T02:29:26.630-05:00I think this blogger has some control issues.

The coverage was great. I REALLY look forward to Cash Sirois's telling of his story. Was that the biggest parade/gathering in Dallas history? What a perfect storm for wireless too!P1 Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611271291061001025noreply@blogger.com
