The prospect of your kitchen or bathroom being torn out and the copious amounts of money spent cause people angst. As stated earlier I have a hard time with the chips but no harder time then they with me. I suppose that’s why there’s a Rainbow, Asian, etc Yellow pages. People in general feel more secure doing business with people like themselves. I doubt that any of it has anything to do with bigotry just human nature. I really do try and figure out peoples lifestyles as I feel that it’s part of my job to improve my customers lives by improving there homes and or businesses.

It's only civil when you aren't involved. Haven't you figured out by now that most of this is directed at you? One reason why this place has slowed down for you is that this is only the second time I've replied to you in several months. As others have pointed out, you confuse "PC" with manners. Since you like the "truth" so much, allow me to convey this. If you ever had the nerve to say to me face to face some of the things you have said here with the protection of the Internet, I can absolutely guarantee you would have regretted it. Please note, this is not a threat, as I can also absolutely assure you I have no interest in ever meeting you. What I am trying to do is illustrate a point in that you are most often the source of problems. You bring out the worst in me, certainly. You have single handedly ruined this board for me and many others. Congratulations.

And I should stress that I am trying to make a distinction between the internet and actual face to face interaction. Here on the internet, people get away with much more due to the lack of real repercussions. The only recourse that works is to ignore.

And if you cannot articulate your view in a way to change all others oh well, you tried but there is never any need to make threats.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy BS, you hinted that if you met me in person there would be trouble. I know you think your a tough guy, so whatever dude. playing hockey for 30 years, racking up thousands of penalty minutes, I'm not exactly intimidated. But you go on acting like you were misunderstood.
