First Post

Hi,
I've been reading for a while and have friends who use this forum. I finally gave in and started my own account. I picked my moniker because I like by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, especially the song: I won't back down. It says a lot about who I am and what I stand for.

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

If I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong, but if I'm not, I won't be bullied into giving in. It's a matter of pride and dignity as well as ensuring that others get to have theirs as well.

Tom Petty fan, welcome here, music is universal communication. And don't let anyone get to you here it's just opinions after all.

Welcome to ats, should be interesting reading your posts if you do "stand your ground"

I try to stand it with integrity, intelligence and dignity, not with insults. When it turns into a shouting match, it's not standing your ground, it's trying to take the ground away from someone else. It's a fine line sometimes, I hope I'm able to live up to it.
