Heh! .... cut me some slack here ... look at what I'm workin' with
fer chrissakes!
He still thinks the jugular is located just above the ankle!

I don't want to break his spirit... but I see your point only too well.
We
should all pitch in and help. Donal, Gilly, Taddy, SS, Jl, SV, MC, Skitch,
Loco, Pony, Per, BB, Jeff, Doug, PW,Oz1...... could all add their own
insult to you in a reply to each of Ganz's attempts to insult or attack.
This would give him a broad example of what verbal sparring is all about.
Let's all pitch in and show Jon the path of the warrior.

Come on guys.... let's give Ganz a hand here!!!


Excellent idea!

I already started in my reply to Ole Thom a few minutes ago.


It is worth noting that Jon has made enormous progress recently. The
smilies have gone, and there have been a couple of good insults lately.



Regards



Donal

I agree... Jon shows the tenacity of a Rottweiler on steroids. He is
relentless and shows no mercy. I believe that although he has shown a marked
improvement as of late.... he requires guidance in finesse by example. Soon
enough he will be able to attain the smooth fluid strokes required when
wielding a venom tipped pen.

I suggest we hone his skills for Thanksgiving Day.... his reward will be
the honour of carving the Turkey.

I don't know why you insist on being cruel to Bobsprit all the
time, or keep trying to convert Jon into a dog with orange
eybrows. After all, the two, combined, peal across this
newsgroup, Bobsprit the bell made of the purest lead, sounded by
the vigorous clapper Jon.

Well, RB is fat enough to qualify.... does that count?

Unless you tend to your studies and practice very hard.... that may prove to

I am being neither cruel to Bob nor converting Jon....

I've treated Bob with respect.... and I am simply assisting Jon to achieve
his potential.

Honestly, Mooron. Ganzy has only shown the energy to respond. There still
remains a near total absence of wit from his posts. I only pick from a few to
respond to keep him going.
I have better fish to BBQ with Bill, Scotty and Donal swimming about!

RB

Jon... I would have approached this reply in a different manner. Direct
insults often fall short of target or can be parried since they are
telegraphed by posting style. Feign and redirection are often a better
tactic. In reply to the turkey comment for instance... you immediately
referred to Bob. This displayed a lack of subtlety. You could have inquired
if as the Carver... the selection of the tenderest Butterball could be left
to you. Think of the fowl jabs that could have generated. Most people are
under the impression that turkeys are so dumb as to drown themselves looking
up at a thunder storm with their beaks open. Turkeys gobble and strut!
Stuffing recipes alone could have generated replies.....

Remember to think well ahead.....

I again wish to thank Bob for his patience in this matter.

Indeed. I want to help Jon in any way and I respect your diligence in this
matter.

I meant to say, I don't have the clap.
