Do you really think posting the same nonsense twice is going to get you any more
credibility or legitimacy?

Oh--and if I didn't want my email published, I wouldn't have put it in taht
document in the first place. You are not doing me some sort of favor by
deleting it. Don't flatter yourself that you are some sort of humanitarian.

As opposed to your personal attacks on me?

You mean, my scurrilous, unconscionable opinion that I expressed *once*
recently, where I observed that you are often "flagrantly rude" in rec.boats?
If you call that sort of observation a "personal attack," Mr. Krause, well,
maybe Usenet is just too harsh an environment for you.


I believe this is the second or third time we're reading this screed of
yours, and there have been others.



Apart from the fact that my observation of your behavior here is accurate, if a
skosh gentle,

Oh, puh-lease. Stop assigning yourself powers of observation that are as
flatlined as your writing skills.


I do find it interesting that you react to that observation in
that way. It's pretty much par for the course, though; I have never seen you
pursue a discussion with anyone here without injecting your own brand of vitriol
and personal attacks.

You need an editor. You're far too wordy. And if that is the conclusion
you draw from my posting here, you simply are not widely read.


I think, for all your posturing here, you really are thin-skinned.

Me? Thin-skinned? With all the abuse I get here? Sheesh. And you were
the one who overreacted to a posting about you I reposted here. Talk
about thin-skinned...

Are you *this* Joe Parsons, too?

"Who is Joe Parsons, anyway?

Joe Parsons is a writer living and working in the San Francisco Bay
Area. Since his fans at present are primarily people who don't send him
enough money to meet his overhead, he works in mortgage banking, too. He
spends as much time as he can manage sailing "Good Faith" out of
Berkeley, California. One of the great epiphanies of his life was
reading Ned Hallowell's "Driven to Distraction;" he still thinks it was
written about him.

One other thing you should know about Joe Parsons: He HATES
excessive quoting in Usenet and in email. He thinks quoting an entire
article just to add three words is a clear indication of cluelessness."


Is that your self-serving prose?

Good grief, man; find an editor.
