Actually, FlaJim, I'm perfectly happy living in the United

I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring
her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in
which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she
do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you
have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but
awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?

There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a
day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is
none of
your business.

It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a
source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family
and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during
her
career? How about children? Do you have children? If so, what do
they do
for a living?

No one is asking for *personal* information,

So you do not consider the information about a wife, her employment,
children, their employment to
be personal information?

Hope you're having a spectacular day!

If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned
several
times that your wife was a federal employee, and that you have a
son or
son in law in the military.

How *personal* is that?

Personal enough that you should not ask for the information and say
you're not asking for anything
personal.

Do you find it revealing and ironic that there are posters here
who go
out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of
other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or
children?

Faulty logic. If I tell you my son is drinking up all the beer in the
house, and you say something
about his drinking habits, then you've opened the door. There is no
requirement that anyone provide
personal information to you. I've provided personal information about
my employment and been called
a rapist and baby killer - by you.

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything
nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents.

Your recollection is poor.

*I* in fact have
over the years mentioned any number of times how nice and gracious
your
wife was. Were you offended by that?

No. Why do you ask?

I don't think your "revelation" that your wife works or worked for the
government is particularly personal, or that your son in law is in the
military is particularly personal.

You brought up comments I've made about you, based upon your military
career. You've made plenty of disparaging remarks about other posters
here, including remarks about me.

Neither of those are the same as making disparaging remarks about a
poster's spouse or children who do not post here. Other than my hope
that he returns safe, I have no comment to make about your son in law
serving in one of those overseas hellholes.

I have nothing but admiration for the spouses of many posters here.

It's about time you bristled at some of the comments that have been
made. I was beginning to think you have no spine.

You think I'm bristling? I'm not. I'm laughing.

OK. I take back what I said about the bristle and the spine.

Have a nice day.
