Maybe you do 'like it rough'.


Is there a problem with my answer? I called no names, I

no-one... If you don't like the facts, don't read it.

"Facts" and opinions are two very different things.

Well, it was nice while it lasted.



Your boy FlaJim never started behaving decently.

I treat everyone without severe character flaws, decently. You just
can't conceptualize what an asshole you are.

--------------------

Harry, I don't think FlaJim likes you very much. :-)



It warms my heart to know I still **** off right-wing dirtbags like
your
old buddy, FlaJim.

--------------------------------

I think it equally warms *his* heart to know that his comments cause
you
to send him to the Bozo Bin. :-)


It's not cockles, it's heartburn caused by being forced to relive his
past.

Now see, that's funny right there .....

You are just encouraging the sort of behavior you've said you disdain.
Either that sort of insulting behavior is tolerated or it isn't...

Actually, I see very few of his comments, but it does make me happy to
know that at least metaphorically he is playing with the likes of
"etc"
down there in the bin. They make a great couple, I think.

---------------------------------------

Sorry. Not even close. Slammer or (whatever his handle is) is a
seriously deranged person. I think he was probably a victim of
"bullying" at some point in his life that has caused him to go over
the edge. Like you with FlaJim, I don't see his original posts but
the few I've seen due to people responding to him indicates a very
troubled and mentally unstable individual.


They're pretty much the same OCD types, just use
different language and have different targets.
Mostly a question of the degree to which their screws are
loose.


Jim's not like that. He may have different views about things but
he's very secure and quite sane. He's also playing a game of sorts
but I probably shouldn't squeal and spoil his fun.

What with everybody but you ignoring him, looks like his
"game" only entertains him and you.
Sounds like a very small barrel of fun.
Slammer and a buddy of his probably have a similar little
barrel rolling around, propelled by insane and lonely
laughter.
As pretentious, wrong-headed, and often-full-of-**** as
Krause is, he provides most of the entertainment here.
Don't know why some people are "threatened" by that.
But it is what it is. Pretty obvious most still posting
here are enthralled to reacting to Harry, and have
nothing of their own to contribute.
Just has to be "All About Harry." He's easy enough to
deal with politely, or can be ignored like anybody else.
They just can't do that because their screws aren't
properly torqued. Krauses rattles loose screws.
He's an expert at that, and it's him having the fun.
There are exceptions to the Harry-mania of course,
including you, and they are appreciated.
The others need a torque wrench and some Loktite.
Probably won't happen, so the little show will go on,
largely ignored by sane people.

Wrong!

I don't ignore him. He's funny, and very often his comments are spot on.

Tax cheats and liars don't sit well with me.

Kind of a stupid game when the object of his affection has him
****canned and doesn't see 99% of his posts. Hey, whatever floats the
boat he doesn't have, eh?
So it's the little 1% that's driving you bat**** crazy. you're too easy.

What I object to is the over the top, mean spirited, nasty comments,
often directed at people's wives and/or kids who are nothing but
innocent bystanders in the jousting contests. The other thing I can't
accept is blatant racism. Not a goody two shoes, but I just have
never been able to tolerate that. That's not to say the state of
racial inequality can't be discussed, and recognizing that racism can
go both ways. But calling people the "n" word in frustration just to
emphasize a point is out of bounds, IMO.

The one advantage I have here is that I know Jim pretty well.
Haven't seen him in about four years and we rarely communicate
privately but we've shared a lot of boating experiences and occasional
get togethers since about 1995. He has taken on a newsgroup
personna, mostly for the fun of it, just like Harry and many others.
What you see here isn't necessarily what's real. I know the real
JiminFla.

Back when rec.boats was a decent, mostly boating related newsgroup Jim
was often helpful to many in troubleshooting and resolving problems
people had with their boats. Contrary to what some people say, he's
knowledgeable was highly regarded around here in the boating scene.
But since those days are gone (basically ended when GWB became
president instead of Al Gore) the newsgroup has become more of a
reflection of our politically polarized society with one side trying
to squash the other. Harry has led the way unfortunately and
represents a philosophy well outside of Jim's. Hope someday it will
end, but doesn't seem like it will soon. Like our general society, it
only seems to be getting worse.

Whatever.

If you want it to end, you should encourage your good buddy to end it.
It's all coming from him. I don't read his posts, except the few that
sneak in second or third hand.

Who's complaining? I often comment and I might disagree with
something you, Jim or someone else posts, but I don't begrudge your
right to post it.
My only exceptions are as noted in my previous post, over the op
mean spirited, nasty or involving family members or blatant racism.
I also try, not always with 100 percent success, to remain somewhat
civil.
