No offense taken on my part, and I have no problem with anyone having a different opinion than me, or any other forum members. As long as those differences are conducted with respect, and not stated with personal attacks, I can always agree to disagree. It just seemed uncalled for to label someone as limp wristed who may not agree with your ideas. The members of this forum are some of the best people I have ever associated with, but I have had several discussions where my opinion and others differed.
I have also not known the members here to be greatly concerned with PC and I think you will also find that the general consensus has been one of great relief that the election turned out like it did.
In regards to speaking to business owners regarding signs, many on here, myself included, have contacted them, either in person, or through email, expressing our disapproval for posting them and also thanking them when signs were removed. But those who choose not to do so, do not draw my derision, everyone has the right to confront business owners or not. JMHO

There is one station that is posted 07 only so I decided to go in and at least thank him for leaving the 06 down. I asked for the manager, and began the conversation pointing to the 07 sign and I got the puppy dog look like what are you talking about. We went out and I pointed to the 07 sign and asked if he knew what that meant. I got the same look!
I have found most managers don't have a clue about what is posted in their windows. One manager ran after me and said the sign was coming down next week, and it did. I try not to go into much detail unless I see the light bulb going off, which is not very often. I have also thanked some for not posting and leave the card but scratching off the NO money deal because on the back side it describes what we have to go through to qualify for a LTC.
I know there are there are limp wristed people on this forum that will say not to bring up the subject but I do not agree with them.
JerryK ,
You are fully entitled to your opinion, and we all applaud the fact that signs are being taken down, but to denigrate those who choose not to confront business owners, regarding signs shows a very definite lack of respect at the least, and violates forum rules regarding insults. No one here wants our ability to carry to be restricted, even by business owners, but being law abiding, we understand that they have the right to do so.
Again your efforts are applauded, but please don't include a derogatory opinion about forum members, in your report.
