Default Obviously, he was standing his ground.

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.


Well, I did ask Don if he was a janitor based on his expertise with a johnny mop. Other than that, I believe you're bull****ting the troops again.


Do you want to try an experiment? Just to prove that we are not
responsible for Krause's nastiness, vulgarity, and generally bad
behaviour. Let's give him a clean slate and leave him alone until he
mucks it up. Then it would be back to business as usual. Are you in?
