I guess what fusion is saying it that he is just "stirring the pot". Even if that is true I think fusion still needs to apologize.

Why dont you come and meet me somewhere in ER next weekend, we can talk about your "apology". It may not be in the form you like, but we can discuss.
I wasn't stirring any pots, I speak from the heart.

What that guy did riding his snowmobile is charitable and gracious, he's an outstanding citizen and a good man, but it isn't heroic to me because he wasn't risking his life, or exposing himself to physical harm, in defense of, assistance of, or support of anything. Even my wife, who happens to be a touch less conservative, and has a daughter paralyzed from Cancer, agree's it isn't heroic. I fully expected if anyone, she might agree with you. Some of us have higher standards than others. It's all about standards. We used to lower the flag to half mast for heads of state, very high ranking people or signficant events like Pearl Harbor day or 9/11. Now they lower the flag when anyone a local public official feels needs to be honored. The standards have change.

Now days they give trophy's for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in little league baseball. In my day you got a trophy for 1st place. The lines have blurred and the standards have changed. Your OK with calling everyone in the world a hero, that's fine with me, continue to delude yourself. So the guy that runs a marathon for muscular dystrophy at a buck a mile, is he a hero too? Doesn't matter if you know them or not - anyone that runs, walks or does ANYTHING for charity, is a HERO, right? What he did was much tougher than riding a snowmobile, right? Have you ever run 26 miles without stopping? Not me - too hard. I think it's a fantastic physical achievement, but the guy isn't a hero, no matter what the cause.

your probably right but one last post for me and I'll stay out of it.

Fusion, Kip nor myself admitted the word "hero" into the dictionary. I provided you with it's definition and proved that Kip had used it in a proper context. You are correct in a sense of the old, typical view of the word hero but not in a literal sense. So, you would rather argue till the cows come home over a word that you have made the mistake with,,,not us. Now you wanna fight? Call me 906-390-0410

Who said anything about fighting - reread my post, I said I had an apology for you. I'll be in northern WI next weekend, so I'm available. There is significant scope to subjectively INTERPRET that literal meaning.

So in case you missed it, anyone performing ANY physical feat, running, walking, tennis, golf, riding a car, bike, boat, sled, or Can-Am, as long as they are sponsored by a charity, they are HERO's? How about the Cub Scouts doing a paper drive for United Way - they are hero's too, right, that can take several Saturdays. Boy, we sure have A LOT of hero's in this country! I drive my car about a mile to give a couple hundred a month to the Catholic Church - I'm a hero too!! I am soooo honored. What a momentus day - all this time, I didn't know!!!

I wasn't the type that thought SuperMan, Flash Gordon or the Green Hornet were hero's when I was kid, they were comic book characters, but I'm sure there were alot of kids that hung their posters on the wall and got their dolls for Christmas! LOL - perhaps present company included? Weeeee - this is fun.

Yikes, someone really is going off the deep end. Who cares what one person defines a hero as compared to another, you don't have to put yourself in harms way to be a hero, as defined by me at least. That seems like a very limited and narrow minded viewpoint.

I did walk away, but Lenny chose to antagonize further by claiming I "was stirring the pot". I took offense to that, and I chose to not be intimidated. If my comments are unfairly categorized, I will respond. I think it's a distinction worth defending, at least until Mr. Dee decides to shut it down. One thing I haven't done is call people names like "perter pan", whatever the heck that is. Spell much?

You are the one that made a stink about name calling, right? hero or not hero. This man is doing a GREAT THING. NICK, YOU ARE A HERO TO ME! Besides, did your mama every tell you if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. As for the "perter" (peter) pan, its a movie quote from wedding crasher the movie. I suggest you watch it and RELAX.

hey Fusion, both you and I have gotten carried away and my apologies to you for name calling and antagonizing. It's hard to move forward when you know that someone is going to criticize a word definition. We both have room for improvement, what do ya say bud. Lets step up to the plate and start over, trying to improvement relations on this board making it more pleasant for everyone.

People this is a free country? everyone has a right to there opinion without being jumped on, fusion has his reasons for his opinion respect it! this is a free country right?, i met Nick kellar at kips and his story is impressive and after talking to him i went on his web site my group and i are going to send donations to him for his hard work for cancer. my opinion of Nick was not a hero but a very special generous great stand up guy and alot of other good things that needs to be recognized which he is a hero after i thought about it after meeting him i guess you can say he is a hero just never saw it that way again my opinion we are grown men not in grade school let it go let him be a hero or what ever you want him to be what he does is great, let fusion be it is his opinion for a good cause i see his point there is no need to argue over our vets war heros or nick kellar i am shure Nick and our vets and war hero's would agree life is short enjoy it and get off your pc and ride your sleds instead of arguing like kids this is a sledders web site right? SO GET OUT AND RIDE LET THIS GO i like this site but come on people you are ruining a good thing this started about nick and turned into a B&*^% session..... the only person i know involved is kip from years back and from his dealership just tired of reading all this bs...... JUST MY OPINION..........
