Bull****. Learn to disregard the personal insults directed
towards you.
Have you seen me respond to any of the Salty or that other
guy's attacks?
No, not lately. You decide to ignore them. It can be done.
Hell, I've gone
for a couple weeks without responding to any of your ****,
even though
you've directed a couple dozen posts a day towards me.
I'll ignore the attacks by Donnie and those other friends of
yours. Easy as
pie.

As I stated, I will enter into and honor a one-to-one agreement
with you. If others decide to join in, I will extend them the
same courtesy.

Quid pro quo. It's the *Christian* thing to do, don't you agree?
I think you're lacking in the will power department. You whine
about folks
attacking you, but you won't stop. I'll be glad to do the
Christian, and
Jewish, thing. I'll stop *all* personal insults if you'll do the
same.

Do you find it too hard to ignore the attacks of others? Can you
not
participate in *any* discussion without resorting to name-calling?

Actually, most of jackals are permanent members of my bozo bin,
and will never be allowed out. The permanent members include but
are not limited to Loogy, DK, FloridaJim, et cetera. But that's
not the point.

I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling
to extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same.
Having all those folks filtered should make it easy.

No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm
suggesting you
stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference?

Look at your statement above:

"Most of the jackals are permanent members..."

If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same
message across, but without the personal insult.

It's not that difficult.

I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are
there because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals.
You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever
consider that
the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not
saying
they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would
diminish
greatly.

I've considered that, and I've concluded the majority of "jackals"
are that way because of my politics.

No. There are other liberals here, and they're surely not treated the way
you are. They engage in discussions and don't resort to personal
insults or
name-calling.
Your 'politics' has very little to do with the way you are treated here.
Think about it for a moment. Loogy is a liberal, yet he garners more
respect than you do, except from you and your liberal buddies. You can't
blame it on politics.

Attempting to always outdo everyone will cause some insults, but those
can
be ignored also.

John...that's your opinion, it isn't mine.
I thought your comment about loogy...humorous.

Why do so many conservatives get along with so many liberals and
moderates in rec.boats, yet you get along with very few liberal,
conservatives or moderates. *Trust me on this, politics has very little
impact on what people think of you. *If you were a moderate or
conservative and acted the way you do, you would be treated the same way.- Hide quoted text -

No, no, no... it's always somebodys fault other than his.. It's part
