Joe,

This isn't the proper forum, nor is it my intention to question your value system. However, "Reality vs. the Ideal" is not fulla-bulla. Hethinks you be a racist. Your answers to his posts don't help.

A polite suggestion: Never use terminology on this forum that you wouldn't use in front of your customers. Would you yell across the store, "Hey Bill, I have to take an important phone call, would you help these negroes with a drumset?" If you read the post you wrote that angered "Reality vs. the Ideal", you'll find that your anecdote would have had the same impact if you hadn't mentioned that the couple was from the inner-city.

The word "negro" has fallen out of favor in this country. Maybe in your city and county it is still used, but to many of us it is as derogatory as the other n word.

Joe, your presence on this BBS is appreciated, but please take into consideration that this a world-wide forum.
