Johnny...don't you have anything boating related to share here?
Didn't you say something about making this a better place?
I kill filed him, and it IS a better place.

I was hoping to bring him around but I can see it's a hopeless cause.
Funny...I expected more from a senior officer in the US Army..... the
other characters in his loose unit, not so much.


Hi Don!

I suppose giving up the personal insults and name-calling is a pretty
hard thing for you to agree to.

Say, have you looked at your last fifty posts? Give them a quick peek.
See how many are personal insults versus boating related.

Sure hope you didn't let this gem from Harry influence you in any way.

"Making a deal with the passive-aggressive herring is like betting
that a scoop of ice cream won't melt inside a microwave oven when it
is turned on high."

Remember, Harry wouldn't make a 'no insult or name-calling' deal. It
was too hard for him. I'm sure that you're not the following kind
though.



You keep talkin' about a deal with no name calling. If you looked at my
posts for the last 4 or 5 days you won't find a case where I called you a
'name'... unless you consider your former military rank 'a name'.


Don, I've been saying 'personal insults and name-calling'. They go
hand in hand, don't you think? Either is a source of acrimony in the
group.

My name's John. Your's is Don. I'm not a Lieutenant Colonel. I am a
civilian, retired, just as you are.

I seem to recall the 'preparation' moniker you developed more recently
than four or five days ago, but I could be wrong. If I am, good.
