Well, maybe. I have *e#c bozo-binned several different ways, along with
only a few other posters here, including your old buddy, but they both
keep trying. Another moron in my bozo bin changes his handle a bit every
couple of days, and only is here to comment about me in an idiotic way.
But he isn't "binned" on his handle or email address. He'll never figure
it out. (Yes, Earl, I mean you.) I have a couple of other idiots down
there in the bin.

I keep PsychoSnotty out of the bin for reasons you suggested in another
post. It's fun to watch him misinterpret everything in the news,
everything posted here, and his belief that everyone he doesn't like
here is me. He's a genuine crackpot and I am convinced he's the same in
his real life, and one of these days he'll shoot one of his neighbors in
Windsor.

I guess I don't share in your pleasure of witnessing people's problems
or perceived problems or seeing them twist and turn with their
rebuttals. There's something bizarre about that for me.

Don't get me wrong. I am not professing any "goody-goody" attitude. I
have often enjoyed some of the debates and especially some of the humor
that is expressed from time to time. But, it should be light-hearted
IMO and not mean spirited. You are a wordsmith and can clobber people
sometimes who don't have your expertise with prose. So what? That
doesn't make them any less of a person.

Whatever. I'll try to stick to my style and way of expressing myself.
Others have the same right.


Any number of people, even a few who might actually be friends of
Scotty, have suggested that he try to calm down and get control of his
emotions here. I have suggested that to him, and told him a couple of
times that there were mental health counselors in his area who might be
able to help him with anger management and other issues on a sliding
scale fee basis. When he called me on the phone a few years ago, I
offered him ways to get needed medications for nothing or next to
nothing, and to get access to physicians who would accept a sliding
scale fee basis. His response? That someone would be "compensated" for
offering him help. An absurdity.

There also have been attempts by some of those Scotty thinks are his
enemies to just treat him civilly and give him a pass on his insane
utterings. That doesn't work, either.

I'm no paragon of behavior here, but I don't lose my temper and lash out.

Interestingly, I have about 65 "close" friends on Facebook, and I am in
several groups with nearly 1000 people I've never met, and we have none
of the insulting bull**** there that pervades this newsgroup. Once in a
while, we get a Florida Jim who thinks he is going to rise up in the
ranks by personally insulting others in the groups. That sort of poster
loses his access, really fast.

I might be up in New Haven in a few weeks for my first trip this year to
the old stomping grounds. I plan to share at least one clam pie for
dinner at Pepe's, and to check out Katz's deli on the Woodbridge side of
the Merritt Parkway bridge over Whalley Avenue. A lot of my old friends
like it:

I'm pretty sure we won't be mooning cars from the top of the tunnel, as
we used to do in the 7th grade:
