Put-downs and flame wars have always been part of the board. If done with a certain amount of humor, it's harmless. The only time it becomes offensive is if it is particularly nasty, or to paraphrase Lenny Bruce, when it is trite, and you've had to hear it many, many times before. A moratorium should be in place for any use of the phrases, "what are you on, smoking, medicating yourself with?", "what planet are you from?", "yawn", any reference to misspelling unless they are truly amusing in some sort of Freudian slip kind of way, and any comment about the personal habits of board members as to what crap they might be stuffing themselves with. The orange finger Cheetos thing is becoming especially tiresome. Sorry, TOV.langeweile said:

Every republican who has problems stringing together a sentence in english seems to be afflicted with dyslexia. People used the same excuse for Bush. It is not his fault, he might be dyslexic. Now papa too? Must be a Republican disease, specially targeting stupid conservatives.
The Texas school system is the most advanced when it comes to support children with dyslexia. They prefer the integration route rather than isolation approach.MrLuvr said:
The Canadian dyslexia association receives all their materials from Texas.
In the old days dyslexic children were grouped together with children that had a learning disability.
About 10 -12 years ago Texas took the first step to change this..well you are samrt enough to guess the rest.
Those are things that you learn in real life...
Bush denies magazine's suggestion of dyslexialangeweile said:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush on Tuesday denied suggestions in a Vanity Fair article that he has dyslexia.
"No, I'm not dyslexic," Bush said on ABC's "Good Morning America." "That's all I can tell you."
Bush said he hadn't read the article and referred to his spokeswoman Karen Hughes' characterization: "In the case of this story, fiction is stranger than truth," she said.
The article in the magazine's October issue quotes language experts who say Bush's tendency to mix up words while speaking is consistent with dyslexia, a neurological disorder impairing the ability to read and write.
Bush's presidential campaign said the author, Gail Sheehy, may have confused the Texas governor with his brother, Neil, who has dyslexia.
He is not dyslexic. He is just a moron.
