Jim's not like that. He may have different views about things but
he's very secure and quite sane. He's also playing a game of sorts
but I probably shouldn't squeal and spoil his fun.

What with everybody but you ignoring him, looks like his
"game" only entertains him and you.
Sounds like a very small barrel of fun.
Slammer and a buddy of his probably have a similar little
barrel rolling around, propelled by insane and lonely
laughter.
As pretentious, wrong-headed, and often-full-of-**** as
Krause is, he provides most of the entertainment here.
Don't know why some people are "threatened" by that.
But it is what it is. Pretty obvious most still posting
here are enthralled to reacting to Harry, and have
nothing of their own to contribute.
Just has to be "All About Harry." He's easy enough to
deal with politely, or can be ignored like anybody else.
They just can't do that because their screws aren't
properly torqued. Krauses rattles loose screws.
He's an expert at that, and it's him having the fun.
There are exceptions to the Harry-mania of course,
including you, and they are appreciated.
The others need a torque wrench and some Loktite.
Probably won't happen, so the little show will go on,
largely ignored by sane people.

What I object to is the over the top, mean spirited, nasty comments,
often directed at people's wives and/or kids who are nothing but
innocent bystanders in the jousting contests. The other thing I can't
accept is blatant racism. Not a goody two shoes, but I just have
never been able to tolerate that. That's not to say the state of
racial inequality can't be discussed, and recognizing that racism can
go both ways. But calling people the "n" word in frustration just to
emphasize a point is out of bounds, IMO.

I would hope that your outrage at using disparaging words to identify and belittle racial
groups is a two way street.
