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.
I don'tknow, Laura seems to like him OK!
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.
Ok, have your fun, just don't choke laughing, and then try to
blame
it
one me!
???
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.
I do not desire to ignore you as I said, I come to appreciate
your
constructive comments, and maybe I need your help with my
spelling
as
well. 
Okelydokely then.
Why do I feel like I just lost.
Now you have me confuse, how is it you just lost, what did you
lose?
LOL. Humour. You have to consider the original threat.
I expect that is the problem with threads like this that get so long,
the original gets lost in the debris of the discussion. You see
something and comment on it, I see something else, and try to apply
your comment, and be both get lot. I agree that it does get humorous,
we just need to remember to laugh!
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?
No, just what I said, I don't think that you are such bad guy!
High praise indeed. What would lead you to believe that I am a bad
guy in
the least?
We have had our trying moments! For which I apologize for any
unnecessary grief, not that it was all unnecessary.
OK, thanks, very kind of you, but I'm still curious about what would
lead
you to believe that I am a bad guy.
Sometimes, well often, you come across as someone with to much time on
your hands, idle hands are the Devil's playground, The Devil is a bad
dude, sometimes you play the Devil's advocate and you are fair to
middlin' at it.
I might
even be up your way sometimes, and would be glad to check out
your
waterfront paddling realestate. TnT
OK, now I'm so frightened I might need to get some advice from
Scotty.*
* This is a joke, Tinkerntom
He probably would tell you to get a gun, though that would really
not
be necessary, me being the nice guy that I really am. But I don't
want
you to be frightened, so if it makes you feel better, do whatever.
TnT
Sigh. That was the idea of the joke, Tinkerntom. I made sure you
would know
it was a joke so that you wouldn't think that I was seriously
concerned
about you and thinking that I'd need a gun for protection. However,
even
with the "*" and all, I failed!
Maybe, but I succeded, mine was a joke as well, and it went right by
you, as well. Zing TnT
