POX on OBX

[hlava]

Wow, that was quite the soap opera on the forums.  I lowered my standards
quite a bit to try and get a point across to several members... the lowering
standards part came when I finally called Paradyme out, several times.

It really did get too personal for any reasonable discussion... a lack of
moral fiber, ethics and ignorance will do that to people. Having it pointed
out to them and forcing them to look in the mirror...

It's not always popular or easy to take a stand, to hold yourself to a
higher level of integrity and moral behavior... but worth it. This was how I
was raised, it was never shoved in my face. And, this is how my 3 children
will be raised.

My biggest fear for them, though, is that they will be in the minority and
actually suffer words, slings and arrows more than I ever did.

In order to teach someone, they have to be willing to learn. I'll keep my
focus on my children and quietly strive to ensure that they become better
people than I ever will... this is my Purpose in life.

Adieu,
Mark
