Uh. I'm promoting a philanderer by having fun with your spelling of
potato?

No, but the media at the time sure had fun at Dan's expense, and used
it to promote BillyBob, without really checking out some of the serious
allegations about the latter. And then they act surprised about Monica.

Billy Bob was hardly the first president to mess around. If George W isn't,
it's probably only because he is so incredibly unappealing.

But such is
how some enlightened elitist think and act. And so it would not
surprise me that the same enlightened elitist attitude would be
substituted for a meaningjul contribution on something as lame as
the
RBP. TnT

Man, you jesus freaks sure ain't fun.

Oh, we can be fun, but I prefer when discussing substantive issues with
you, instead of my spelling, or for that matter yours, not becoming the
subject. Sp flames are not particularly interesting.

It wasn't a flame, Tinkerntom. Your are getting quite wound up on this
angle, when clearly if you look back over our umpteen questions, you can't
make a case that I pick on your spelling. Had ANYONE made that particular
spelling error, I could not have resisted a reference to the potatoe
incident.

If it is critical
for the content of the discussion, then clarify for clarity sake,
otherwise figure it out. I have seen so many threads just break down
into nit-picking ****ing contest.

Again, you are getting wound up over nothing.

I know that you are able to discuss issues in a mature and thoughtful
manner.

I wasn't discussing an issue. I was having fun with a reference to the
potatoe incident.

I have gotten to know enough about you to know that you have
alot to contribute to a discussion, and that you have a perspective
that is valuable for me to hear. It is distressing and annoying when
you get picky and penny ante, and I am inclined to just ignore you as I
do a few others.

Tinkerntom, by all means if you feel that you need to ignore me, go ahead,
by why you would chose to do so on the basis of the potatoe joke will surely
be a huge mystery.

There are times when we snipe at each other, and it can be fun, from
the stand point that as we have gotten to know one another, we know
each others hot buttons. Hopefully we do not do so to destroy the other
person. I am sure that from your perspective of me going over the edge,
while you are setting on your couch reading the dictionary, must look
very humorous to a Martian checking out the local electronic binary
data fields surrounding the Earth.

I don't think I even have a dictionary here, perhaps a scrabble dictionary
somewhere. I don't use particular big words very often Tinkerntom.

Some of the quips are cute, clever, and funny, and then some are mean,
nasty, and hurt. I would assume from what you have indicated about your
respect for mankind, that you would not intentionally hurt another
human being. Why would you do it mentally, and then claim it was fun.
See I've gotten to know you to well, and I actually don't think you are
such a bad guy!

Respectfully TnT

What are we talking about here? The potatoe spelling?
