    Maybe fair to you, but not to me. Perhaps the person making the quote is looking forward to my departure to the great beyond... never can tell when somebody puts a death clause in their post and directs it toward you.

    "after you are dead and gone"
    I'm still here. Are you?

      I had no idea what Mel was referring to when he resurrected this thread. He edited a quote that led up to the line in question thereby changing the context. That quote even came from another thread; a thread about the super ferry. Once I found the thread and the original message Mel responded to, I have to agree with you, Sinjin. It appears to me it's a reference to a difference in age...and that's exactly how I would've taken it had Aaron S replied to me in the same way. I honestly don't know how it could be taken any more serious than that.

        The implied message I got was that he can't wait for my passing. I can't let that kind of stuff go. Sorry!

          No need to be sorry. Obviously there's something much deeper going on than can be dealt with in HT. But, be assured that "after you are dead and gone" is a somewhat common phrase. I've heard it all of my life and never heard it used in a threatening manner. Google it.

            there's no correct way to spell in pidgin

            8 little words that sum up Hawaii literacy rates in our schools. And people keep trying to blame the DOE.

              I have to agree as he's displayed similar eccentric, overreactive behavior in the past, traits unbecoming of a moderator, IMHO.

              It's a fact of life that we are born, we live, and then we die. Some people cannot come to grips with the dying part and see threats where none exist when faced with their own mortality, which might explain this post.

              I'm thinking that's what might be happening here, but then, this would just be the tip of the iceberg.

                      You totally misinterpreted what I meant.I just meant I'm 30 and you are
                      in your 50-60s. I'm going to be outliving you and having to deal with your
                      generation's screwups.

                        Your age estimate is wrong.

                        Now you are making a general sweeping judgement of those who have come before you. But guess what, history keeps on repeating itself and each previous generation will continue to screw the one that comes after. Happened many times before and is happening now even with the generation younger than mine.

                          Just for the record, I have nothing to do with the moderation of the main board. I only moderate the Hawaii Media section which is a subset of the main board.

                            No way in the heck you are in your 40's...no way..I've read what you've
                            written over the years. Your views mirror my grandfather who is in his
                            80s. In short your ultra conservative views are from someone in their
                            50-60s...

                            As for the other statement, I stand by it. I've seen, I've lived it how older
                            generations have screwed over my generation and so on.

                              What does that have to do with anything ? Seriously, if I offended you that much just put me on ignore. I took you off ignore, as someone has to stand up for what is right and just. As you've been expressing your views unabated with no debate. Thus I got some flame retardant equipment and took you off ignore.

                                You are still wrong on the age in all technicalities so far.

                                Don't lift your generation too high, because in time when your generation takes complete control, somewhere, someone, some group or organization will screw it for the next one. It is inevitable. Earth is not a utopia.
