Hi BCITORGB,

On 18 Mar 2005 09:05:14 -0800, you wrote:

Let me translate, into 'murcan: F*CK OFF!

Depending on context, the exact meaning of "sod off"
can
be
as
offensive as you describe, or as mild as a somewhat
annoyed
"go
away". Since I'm not prone to say things such as
the
former,
even
when I'm *really* annoyed, my use of the phrase here
was
definitely
of the latter sort. Perhaps a bit "over the top"
for
effect,
I
admit, and I suppose it could have been easily
misunderstood,
so
I
do
apologize if I've offended anyone *way too much*.
Besides,
I
only
mentioned the phrase in terms of trying to think up
a
"tactful"
way
to say it! ;-)

You could try "get bent" but then in Tinkerntom's
case,
he's
already
"around
the bend"...

OF course KMAN would know, he got there before I did!
TnT

I had to get a good seat to watch you go over the edge.

I guess I always figured you for the couch potatoe type!
Tnt

We need William Figueroa here to explain to Tinkerntom
why
he
is
starting to
look as hebetudinous as he is crazy ;-)

Well, life is like a box of chocolates, you learn to make
do
with
what
you got, or not! Not all of us are smart as you to use
such
big
words,
must be from setting around reading the dictionary. TnT

Forget the big words, did you at least get the Figueroa
reference...and why
I made it?

The name Dan Quail rings a bell! I'm glad you are around two
make
sure
we don't all goe offf halfed cocked and spill a worrd witd
lesss
than
camplete accurracy now and then.

Humour, Tinkerntom. Humour.

I thought I was being humorous also, thanks for the
compliment!

I am surre yu woold knot be able to
figur oot what else important is going on or been saide if
thar
wert a
sppeellen errorr. Some politicians carreers have fallen
because
of
a
simple misspelled word. Now for those who set around and
read
a
dictionary all day for inspirational reading, cause they
can't
figure
anything really significant to do than to be picky about
other
folks
spelling errors

If I had just jumped into RPB and made a joke about your
spelling
abilities,
I'd have to agree with you. However, in light of the vast
amounts
of
your
verbiage that I have waded through on numerous occasions, you
might
be
getting a tad carried away with this angle.

Hey, you have asked questions that sometimes required an
indepth
discussion. If you want to keep it simple, ask simple
questions!

and can't make a positive constructive contribution to
an ongoing discussion, then it should not surprise you when
they
would
delight to bring down a decent and honorable man

Humble too!

I agree, he could have acted more humble, but then politicians
running
for high office aren't known for being humble, and the news
media
loves
to find a weak point, and never let it go. I am sure that if
you
ask
Dan, how to spell patato now, he would be able to tell you. So
should
we ask him to be president now, that he knows how to spell
patato!

because of a spelling
error, in order to promote their own philanderer, and then
think
that
the philanderer is a asset to the country and the world.

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.

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. 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.

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

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.

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

Here is something funny, I was checking out my post, and I
still
can't
spell "potato!" I wanted to warn you so that you don't choke on
patato,
laughing! TnT

Tinkerntom...

You make spelling mistakes all the time. I did not even notice -
nor
would I
care to remark upon - your patato typo. I just happened to find
the
"potatoe" spelling amusing because it brought to mind Danny Q.

Ok, and I admit that the mini-thread, preceding the Patatoe
Crisis,
was
fun, and you in fact were continuing to be cute and clever in
your
clarifying the proper spelling of potato, and reference to DQ.
Whose
quotes are pretty humorous to read in retrospect.

I should also know better than to try responding to a sideways
post, in
the middle of the night, after a long day of working on a broken
down
car. I broke a motor mount with collateral damage on the way home
Friday. I had thoughts of even getting to the lake this weekend,
and
that all changed in a loud bang and then some very nasty grinding
sounds.

So carry on, and I will try to watch my spelling a little closer,
so
that it does not cause you any unnecessary amusement! And you
said
us
Jesus freaks aren't any fun! TnT

That's the most roundabout and diluted apology ever. You'd think a
man
filled with the love of god could do better!

Well, I learned from a master! I was going to save the real apology
for
the middle of the night, where I would hide it in the middle of
something I am writing to frtzw. But if it makes you feel better, I
apologize for getting all wound up and jumping all over your sense
of
humor, which actually was pretty on point and funny!

What can I say, you are strating to impress me, not because you
apologize
(although when it comes to usenet you don't see it often) but because
you
actually seem to understand what is happening in this instance.

I will work on my
spelling, and in particular being able to humble myself when I
misspell
as I am inclined to do, and I appreciate and accept your help in
correcting critical speeling errors. TnT

Heh. Humour, right?

Yeah, I am strating to understand usenet humor! Right tNt
