My first reaction was " I've been fighting the use of the "Hide Me" button for exactly 5 years now but you are a perfect example of why it was created." But then I thought; "there's something perversely satisfying about watching someone continually making an absolute fool of themselves."
Steve will be the first to tell you I'm not his biggest fan. Mostly because he continually elicits these types of responses by showcasing unwitting participants who are unable to defend themselves from idiots like you. But your response here is disgusting, racist, juvenile, and totally useless.

Don't forget the sarcastic, "ad hominem" element.
Crow High might want to take a review of the decorum that Fred expects of our members. I realize that he is a newer member, and may have come from places that this type of exchange was par for the course. But, THIS IS FM ... as in Fred Miranda.
Sarcasm, banter, disagreement, opinion, snarky at times, etc. ... but, there comes a place where it seems that being consistently rude and contentious for the sole purpose of "crowing" loses its appeal.
That said, I'll still re-extend the "Welcome to FM" that I extended before. But, I do think it needs to be made clear that Fred (the man who provides us with our beloved site) has expected a level of decorum among our membership. Make no mistake, that is not to suggest censorship ... but, to instill decorum among our members that collectively makes FM the hallmark of sites that it is.
Again, "Welcome to FM" is extended to Crow High ... but, if Crow High is going to become or remain as a viable member of FM, PLEASE consider how you may want to revise your conduct here. Do what you want, say what you will ... but, the longstanding membership of FM'ers support Fred's desire for decorum of conduct. Even as Gary and Steve have differing (sometimes strongly different) opinions, they do so with a modicum of decorum ... for one another, and for the site as a whole.
To which, we also extend a modicum of patience for folks to come to realize ... and appreciate ... the valuable place that Fred has provided. Fred's house is a good one. We'd like to keep it that way.
If you have any questions ... feel free to inquire of us. And, of course ... you can also inquire of Fred directly (via PM). He's a GREAT GUY, and runs a GREAT SITE. Please take to heart what the spirit and attitude of Fred Miranda is ... and again, "Welcome to FM".
FM ROCKS !!!
(but, not from posts that are antithetical to Fred's ideals of decorum)
