What is harsh but true is what Dick has said about harry lately. Got him

pinned for exactly the loser he is...



---------------------------------------



It's not my goal to pin anybody. That makes me as bad as those I

complain about and I plead guilty occasionally. Sometimes I get tired

of people who make statements that I know to be false that are intended

to disparage people they don't even know.



Many of us have posted things here in the heat of debate exchanges that

we later probably regret. But not Harry. Virtually everything he

posts, he means and it's done for a purpose. He seems to get a perverse

delight in such. I usually try to maintain a civil attitude for the

most part but lately he's been ****ing me off.



Examples:



Somebody here (forget who) recently made a comment about John suggesting

that he may be a recovering alcoholic. Didn't say he *was*. Just

suggested that maybe he was. It was uncalled for and obviously the

poster has absolutely no idea if it is true or not.



Harry liked that of course, picked up on it and within the hour was

commenting on John's alcoholism, as if it was a proven fact.

That's the crap that gets me ****ed off sometimes. Cute but transparent.



Then there's his endless social commentary and comments on the status of

minorities, the poor and the disenfranchised. If others don't see it

his way, they are obviously either racist or "republi-trash". Yet, in

another thread about building permits, etc., Harry went out of his way

to make sure we all are aware that he lives in a very desirable area

with fine restaurants, stringent building codes and future development

statutes that are intended to restrict those who may wish to build and

move in. I think Harry would serve humanity better if he moved to

Detroit and became a community organizer rather that call people names

on a goofy newsgroup.



Harry blames everyone else for the demise of rec.boats as a useful

newsgroup, yet he is by far the biggest contributor to it's decline.

Just ask him. It has been his goal and he delights in yanking your chain.







You do go on, and yet you never try to castigate your good buddy here.

Mildly interesting.



We live in a nice area, but it certainly isn't the locale of the "super

rich." There are only a couple of expensive restaurants around here, the

building codes are ordinary but enforced, but the zoning is stringent to

maintain a semi-rural atmosphere outside of the commercial areas, and

there are no statutes to restrict anyone from moving in. The local

impact fee, as I mentioned, may or may not still be in effect, but

Gregg's area has a much higher one.



I think it is possible Herring is an alcoholic in recovery. If he is,

there's nothing wrong with that. Recovery means you are controlling the

illness, and it isn't controlling you. And I surely think those

Republicans who so obviously hate the poor, minorities and the

disenfranchised are Republic-trash. Absolutely.



Oh, I did live in Birmingham, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and I

worked in downtown Detroit. I also worked a full year in Chicago for an

organization run by...Saul Alinsky. When I was hired by the teachers

union, I hired Alinsky to come to a conference of state teacher leaders

in New York to put on presentations on how to use the system, a task at

which Alinsky was unsurpassed.



You mean *this* Saul Alinsky?
