Marcus1978,
Excuse me Sir, there are ladies and gentlemen in the audience today. You have written some good articles in the past, and many of us have gotten good information from them. Your 37 ranking reflects your hard work and dedication, and I sincerely hope you benefit from your future efforts with WA. As for me, I've been putting WA second to this product that I have been developing and simply don't have the time right now to do both.
However: I feel it necessary to come to the defense of any ladies or gentlemen that may be presently learning with WA . I served in the Marine Corps (1968-69) then spent 12 years in their Reserves. Believe me when I say - I've heard some language. Quoting you: "F***ing Amazon Prime; cheeky bastards; and even """"steaming turds"""" (in your article "The Dark Side of Amazon") is baby talk to me. But, I am a lady and find your expressions crude.
When I joined up with this elite community it was with the understanding that my best interest and presence was valued by the leaders and owners. Surely, the montering team doesn't find this type of language appropriate? I too use words off color and judge myself for them, but we are supposed to be more professional when we write online.

In closing, I want to say that we here on this earth are struggling with different problem and emotions. Constantly, I am reminded to not offend others because of their opinions and beliefs here in this community and from other platforms, and I want to take this opportunity to use my God given right - and earned right - to now speak my opinion.
May I go on record saying that I believe in God. I am so happy that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and He will be to anyone that reaches out and accepts Him and wants to go to Heaven when they leave this life. Only believe.
Further, I love America and always will. I will always defend Her from any enemy present or foreign with my life. I love America's Flag. It offends me to see Her stomped and burned and spit upon by even Her own people. My fourteen grandchildren will never enjoy America as I have been able too. The price of freedom is high. I see cripples wearing scars for fighting, even giving their lives, for our freedom. Please, don't take freedom for granted.
Enough. May we all try to make our efforts to uplift one another with respect. I do apologize for having to come out and ask for respect, but I do not apologize for doing so.
May God bless you - and all. And, may God bless America.
