Bull****. Learn to disregard the personal insults directed towards you.
Have you seen me respond to any of the Salty or that other guy's attacks?
No, not lately. You decide to ignore them. It can be done. Hell, I've gone
for a couple weeks without responding to any of your ****, even though
you've directed a couple dozen posts a day towards me.

I'll ignore the attacks by Donnie and those other friends of yours. Easy as
pie.

As I stated, I will enter into and honor a one-to-one agreement with
you. If others decide to join in, I will extend them the same courtesy.

Quid pro quo. It's the *Christian* thing to do, don't you agree?
I think you're lacking in the will power department. You whine about folks
attacking you, but you won't stop. I'll be glad to do the Christian, and
Jewish, thing. I'll stop *all* personal insults if you'll do the same.

Do you find it too hard to ignore the attacks of others? Can you not
participate in *any* discussion without resorting to name-calling?

Actually, most of jackals are permanent members of my bozo bin, and will
never be allowed out. The permanent members include but are not limited
to Loogy, DK, FloridaJim, et cetera. But that's not the point.

I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling to
extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same.
Having all those folks filtered should make it easy.

No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm suggesting you
stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference?

Look at your statement above:

"Most of the jackals are permanent members..."

If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same
message across, but without the personal insult.

It's not that difficult.

I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there
because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals.

You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that
the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying
they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish
greatly.

John


I've considered that, and I've concluded the majority of "jackals" are
that way because of my politics.

No. There are other liberals here, and they're surely not treated the way
you are. They engage in discussions and don't resort to personal insults or
name-calling.

Your 'politics' has very little to do with the way you are treated here.
Think about it for a moment. Loogy is a liberal, yet he garners more
respect than you do, except from you and your liberal buddies. You can't
blame it on politics.

Attempting to always outdo everyone will cause some insults, but those can
be ignored also.

Why do so many conservatives get along with so many liberals and
moderates in rec.boats, yet you get along with very few liberal,
conservatives or moderates. Trust me on this, politics has very little
impact on what people think of you. If you were a moderate or
conservative and acted the way you do, you would be treated the same way.

So you chuck the whole idea, because our opinions differ? First, I didn't
offer an opinion. I stated a fact. There are several liberals, Democrats,
whatever, here, and they don't attract the insults you do. Nor, on the
other hand, do they begin with the insults and name-calling when they don't
seem to be winning the argument.

I'm glad you found my comment about Loogy humorous. It was also very true.

Why is this such a big deal? Does anyone really give a flying foch what
holidays you celebrate for whatever reasons? I sure as hell don't. My
major objection to Christianity ain't Jesus, it is the self-proclaimed
"believers" who want to shove it into my face and onto my non-sectarian
country.

Actually, most of jackals are permanent members of my bozo bin, and will
never be allowed out. The permanent members include but are not limited
to Loogy, DK, FloridaJim, et cetera. But that's not the point.

I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling to
extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same.
Having all those folks filtered should make it easy.

No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm suggesting you
stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference?

Look at your statement above:

"Most of the jackals are permanent members..."

If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same
message across, but without the personal insult.

It's not that difficult.

I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there
because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals.
You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that
the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying
they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish
greatly.

I've considered that, and I've concluded the majority of "jackals" are
that way because of my politics.
No. There are other liberals here, and they're surely not treated the way
you are. They engage in discussions and don't resort to personal insults or
name-calling.

Your 'politics' has very little to do with the way you are treated here.
Think about it for a moment. Loogy is a liberal, yet he garners more
respect than you do, except from you and your liberal buddies. You can't
blame it on politics.

Attempting to always outdo everyone will cause some insults, but those can
be ignored also.

John...that's your opinion, it isn't mine.
I thought your comment about loogy...humorous.

So you chuck the whole idea, because our opinions differ? First, I didn't
offer an opinion. I stated a fact. There are several liberals, Democrats,
whatever, here, and they don't attract the insults you do. Nor, on the
other hand, do they begin with the insults and name-calling when they don't
seem to be winning the argument.

I'm glad you found my comment about Loogy humorous. It was also very true.

Hey...Loogy's your man. OK by me. :)

Bull****. Learn to disregard the personal insults directed towards you.
Have you seen me respond to any of the Salty or that other guy's attacks?
No, not lately. You decide to ignore them. It can be done. Hell, I've gone
for a couple weeks without responding to any of your ****, even though
you've directed a couple dozen posts a day towards me.

I'll ignore the attacks by Donnie and those other friends of yours. Easy as
pie.

As I stated, I will enter into and honor a one-to-one agreement with
you. If others decide to join in, I will extend them the same courtesy.

Quid pro quo. It's the *Christian* thing to do, don't you agree?
I think you're lacking in the will power department. You whine about folks
attacking you, but you won't stop. I'll be glad to do the Christian, and
Jewish, thing. I'll stop *all* personal insults if you'll do the same.

Do you find it too hard to ignore the attacks of others? Can you not
participate in *any* discussion without resorting to name-calling?

We say "Chanukah Sameach" to each other, and Merry Christmas to goys who
celebrate Christmas.

I guess to some we should just say, I hope you got some nice presents
for Dec. 25th.

No, it would be, "Hope you get some nice presents for Winter Solstice."

Why is this such a big deal? Does anyone really give a flying foch what
holidays you celebrate for whatever reasons? I sure as hell don't. My
major objection to Christianity ain't Jesus, it is the self-proclaimed
"believers" who want to shove it into my face and onto my non-sectarian
country.- Hide quoted text -

You need to go back to High School history class. As usual, your whole
premise is just wrong and driven by your intolerance and hate...

I think you should only say that if they celebrate on the Winter
Solstice, in 2008 that would be Dec. 21st, on the 22nd in 2009 and the
23rd in 2010, when it would go back to Dec. 21. So, those who open
presents on Dec. 25 and are not Christians are really just celebrating
Dec. 25th. I think Festivus and Winter Solstice makes a lot more sense
than just opening presents because the Christians are celebrating the
birth of Christ.

Imagine what would happen if all the Chinese celebrated Christmas on Dec.25?

Where would all the Jews go to eat on Dec. 25th. We would have to eat
at home, and that is against our religion. ;)
