I don't condone the language nor the subject matter of Alan Wade (koreywade). However, Banning him from the message board is not the answer. Like it or not, he shares our name, and could be a cousin to any one of us. Think back when you were 16 at all the stupid things that you did. I can think of a dozen or so off the top of my head...Should we not forgive and embrace our own blood? After all, he has stopped emailing messages with offensive content. Some of you are overreacting. Just my point-of-view. No response necessary. Glenn Wade Nashville, TN
As you might expect I agree with Glen about Alan staying on list. When we are 16 sometimes it seems hard to get attention equal to our concerns. And judgment may also be a little short. I might direct you to the international news coming out of Argentina. There is being reported a financial crisis that as I understand it is tied to USA policy put forth by Bush at the G8 conference. (But I may not understand correctly). Living here in the USA we get a little insensitive to the volatility some others live in. And also what they really think about USA's actions and how those policies affect their lives and countries. (I'll have to say I'm not too pleased with US policy right now either, having watched my net investment worth drop by almost 50% since last November). Argentina is a beautiful, wealthy, modern country, but 30% unemployment, 50% on strike and demonstrating in the streets, seems a little unsettling to me. Alan tells me it is not to be worried about, but I might use shock language myself if it were happening on the streets in Dallas. Please cousins, let us try to stay gentle, calm, understanding, and a bit forgiving. Thanks for letting me voice my off topic opinion.
