Give him a break guys. He just suffered a very personal loss. This issue hits closer to home for him than any of us can realize.

I will be totally healed in JESUS name. For me his name is above or out ranks the virus name covid19. My day of passing is determined by God. Not some virus.

The shortness of breath and blood pressure issues though, have been trialing. When I am completely healed from this, I will have been reconditioned in a way that words cannot explain. I am already beginning to see life in a new way. I will work on not taking things for granted, but as Blessings or gifts. I’ll also need to address my arrogance. I have learned it’s a useless trait, and has no positive effect on my life.

I think we should work together to compile multiple solutions to fit the multitude. Every human circumstance is going to be different. A one size fits all will fail every time. Humans are created completely different from one another, and so what one of us thinks is sufficient, another may find it appalling.

I’ll agree with you about there being no best solution. This is a very trialing time in which mankind was not prepared for during this current society.

My goal by posting today, was to hopefully change the direction of this thread. But, I am only one man. It will take us all uniting and respecting each other’s beliefs to come together.

I still believe bashing one another will have no positive impact on our forum families acquaintanceship.

All your little ol' me is jus here to calm things down and guide us to being a unit with respect for each other's beliefs and is completely transparent. It's easy to read between the lines. They're just snide remarks, cheap shots. I have always been aware that any response to your goal to degrade someone is a gift full of snide opportunities for you to do your thing. You're never going to get along with me unless you change your exchanges with me and don't resort to insults when I have been responding without doing so.

It doesn't matter how you cut it other than I have found an excuse that I will view as a reason to do what I want and I am OK with some unknown number of virus victims dying that could be millions.

That is just not the kind of country we were. When others take action contrary to the bill of rights it is a tiny stick of kindling to light a fire on the fabric of our country.

You're never going to get along with me unless you change your exchanges with me and don't resort to insults when I keep responding. This started based on the study saying it was better to open up the country, there will be more deaths if we don't.

BC you’re correct, I’ve had snide responses to you over the years. I’m pretty sure and correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe in 2020 I’ve treated you that way. The way I see it, there had been times that our correspondence on the forum probably appeared like two arrogant men with strong personalities.

However, let me be crystal clear. I am fighting this virus daily. For you to even take a notion that I am not aware of the loss of human life is grossly irresponsible on your behalf.

Communicating with you is not privilege. It’s a choice I make, or you. You have been snide with me in the past years, and I never gave you an ultimatum to continue correspondence with you.

Let me tell you something about little ol’ me. I was the first on the thread to give my condolences. There was nothing snide about that post in any way.

Humans are going to do what they want. Get over it. What you need to do is come up with a plan to protect yourself, your wife, and any immediate family you have close to you from this awful virus. Quit complaining about how people aren’t doing things right.

Also, I never suggested you were angry. As a matter of fact, none of my posts today were directed at any one person. But, as a way to encourage the members of this forum to unify.

Look, quarantine yourself until you feel safe. Don't be around anyone else, because mask or not, other people represent sources of infection.

In the meantime, other people need to live their lives including work, play, worship, and anything else. With or without a mask, it's their choice.

You don't want to be infected, stay home, away from people without masks if that is your choice.

He is chastising me for an arrogant attitude I displayed toward him in the past. It was nothing personal, just E53 talk. I let God’s Blessing for me, of having the closest build next to the Le’Mans X5 get to my head. The whole manual high performance E53 thing.

It was silly of me to act in that manner. When I first saw that build I prayed that I would be blessed with something similar. When I received that Blessing, I let it get to my head on the forum. I will be working on some behaviors I need to change. Arrogance being one of them.

But, he is inconsiderate saying that I’m ok with people dying. Obviously if I have the virus my wife does as well. I don’t know about him, but there have been nights that I prayed not to find my wife deceased next to me in the morning. When your laying next to someone you love knowing they are fighting for their life and all you can do is hope and pray they make it is disturbing.

Anyhow, I apologize directly to you BC for my rudeness, and any other member of this forum that I have ever offended.

Happy and several guys on here (myself included) have had disagreements but I never felt he should dip his socks in coal oil to keep the ants from eating his candy-ass like some folks on here who sniffle and whine.

I know that BC lost his brother-in-law, but if you'll remember OB lost his father and I believe he can relate, so just let people vent or whatever.

We can't begrudge people for needing to make a living. Are some people going to act irresponsibly, yep, sure, always going to happen. But the majority of Americans can not afford to stay in a complete lock down.

So you recognize the absurd and the subtleties. So wonderful.

Okay I see your point. I will tune it down a bit, and no more nuclear weaponry.

I moved on to a new business model to make ends meet and feed the babies. Although it seems I am again not allowed to cook up a bit of cocaine to sell to willing buyers. It's a stupid silly consensual transaction between a free manufacturer and a free buyer.

It's a flagrant violation of my right to do business and feed my kids.

Hookers have a better business model...

They can wash their crack and sell it again, although they do seem to be up against some stiff competition.

It could disappear. Not the most helpful thread for sure. Question is, how long before a mod removes it? "Hello Mod. Are you there? It's me Margaret.".
