Is this a case of green eyed envy or sour grapes ?

Thats all well and good I hope you can see why I am really not impressed with people having carte blanche to attack my (in part, and no I won't explain except in pm) lifestyle and then hide behind the rules of the board and religious persecution, while my hands are tied.

If one group is going to be protected then both should if one isn't then neither should.

I really think that no one here is impressed that YOU are not impressed.

You actually believe that YOU can break Canada's Laws, or the Rules of this Forum?

You have a real Problem there.
