Well, I don't share your opinion of Don - I like Don. Sold him my
Princecraft and he was a delight to talk to in person. Interesting
guy. I stay away from his little wars with others in this group.

And I respect his knowledge of sailboats and his penchant for
historical knowledge of him home town. Not a lot of people know the
history of where they live or bother to take the time to learn.

The others? Yeah, I'd agree with you. :)
I don't dislike Donnie. I Don't even know him. All I know is how he
presents himself here and offer him, I think, appropriate interaction
based on how he behaves.

Good enough - just thought I'd throw my two cents into the mix.

Then again, Usenet brings out the worst in all of us - has since the

Agreed

I think Donnie jumped on the Harry bandwagon and is not unable to get
off. He's probably a damn nice guy, but his words and actions emulate
Harry. It's a shame he can't get over it.

You claim you know about an alleged "pustule problem"....... I know of no
such ailment.
What does this say about you?

You don't seem to post anything but antagonistic crap. You also seem to
jump into other posts that have nothing to do with you. Got a boat, sailor?

Frankly, whateveryournameis, my disgust with the system has been
building since Reagan started this greedy bull****.

I'm plenty fed up and in no mood to be civil. If I heard a modicum of
bitching from the right while Bush and Cheney were in office and
sending this country down a ******** between tax cuts and war, I'd be
a little more flexible.

All the greedy assholes thought those tax dollars belonged to the
folks that put 'em in. Turns out they were loans from China.

Now the right wing shows up and starts bitching about spending when
it's about spending on health care and our economy. Didn't hear a
bloody peep when it was bullets, bombs and tax cuts.

So, your side hasn't much credibility (or any at all) and no standing
to talk to me about civility nor patriotism.

If I offer you civility, consider it a gift.

The only thing you have to offer, or care to offer, is the death of
reason. You are far too removed from it to esteem its worth.


I think jps has a point though. I think he's wrong to not attempt
civility,
but it's a tough road.

Civility is only tough for those that extol its virtue but deny its
exercise, Em. Personal civility is as easily attainable as is
personal charity. A victim, though, will cheat himselves of both
virtues if he languishs in that miserable role, if I may apply some
unction to it (smarmy critter that I am).

himselves = himself (I've been reading too much Tolkien :)


I haven't done that in a long time. :)

If only I had more time to read! It seems I have to spend most of my
time earning a living...

You could recapture a ****load of time if you curtailed your
overweight ponderings and attendant spelling corrections.

I thought you spent most of your time volunteering to help those less
fortunate than yourself.

I've tried to help you as much as is humanly possible. From this
point, only divine intervention will make a difference.

Harry will never do that. He has been here spewing lies, and showing his
true colors for over a decade. He is a victim of serious abuse as a
child, and continues the cycle to this day, that's why his kids
abandoned him long ago. Either way, unfortunately there are still some
here stupid enough to engage him, and that attention, negative or
positive, is all he needs to cling on...

I know the feeling. I'm fortunate in that I own my own business, I work
nearly 100% at home, and I don't have any set hours. Of course, the latter
isn't too good if it means being up at 1am to get things ready for the next
morning at 8 am. I like to get up early, weather permitting, and go for a
run, so 1am gets old fast.

Sometimes I sit in front of the computer (like now), waiting for something
that will need a very quick response. I've done "nothing" for hours
sometimes. Then, it comes in a tidal wave. The crunch days are (right now)
usually Thurs through Monday (not much happens on Sat., but I have to
prepare for Sunday), with stuff just trickling in the other days. As the
holiday season approaches though, it'll expand to most of the week, but
that's only through mid-Jan.

That's interesting, Em. Is your business service-oriented? I have
entertained the notion of pursuing some type of work-at-home option
before; but, I don't trust myself. I'm not sure I'd have the
discipline to attend to the demands that any such vocation would
require. I suspect that I would wander off into all the small
avocations that I'm always tempted to indulge, as it is (like posting
in this NG, or reading some forlorn book). I've previously owned a
manufacturing concern, and I'm personally intimate with the demands of
a small business. Generally, it requires hard work, dedication, and
interminably long hours. I have to admire you for being able to
discipline yourself to work at home.

What else would you expect from somebody who lives in the second
whitest city in the US and home of the two most odd genres of
literature around - the Bromance and Lesbian Bodice Rippers.

People who are socially isolated from the broader perspective of
"diversity" and are subject to badly written soft erotica will
naturally act odd by default.

That's a perspective I hadn't considered.

The sad story in all of this is that he shouts "murderer!" through the
prism of hostility.

One step away from going postal I suspect. The open hostility towards
different views indicates extreme isolation - akin to Charles Manson
or Ted Kaczynski. You could almost consider Seattle a compound
similar to David Koresh's Branch Davidians only with a different focal
point.

I have family that lives out in that area, and what they describe of
the liberal morass that oppresses the people and business there is
alarming. Liberalism has nothing to do with compassion.
