I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?


There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is none of
your business.


It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during her

So you do not consider the information about a wife, her employment, children, their employment to

respond by
engaging in personal name-calling.




My wife is retired. There. Happy now.


How nice for her. What did she do for a living before she retired? What
do your children, if you have any, do? I'm not asking for their names or
the names of their employers. Why so secretive?

None of your business, Asshole.


Ahh, you're back to the name-calling. Again.

If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned several
times that your wife was a federal employee, and that you have a son or
son in law in the military.

How *personal* is that?

Do you find it revealing and ironic that there are posters here who go
out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or children?

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents. *I* in fact have
over the years mentioned any number of times how nice and gracious your
wife was. Were you offended by that?


Yabut, the sharing or not sharing of any information is the right and up
to the poster. Frankly, I try to be a little careful about how much
info I share in a newsgroup considering the number of people who can see
it who probably never post to rec.boats. Think about it. Google groups
and the numerous web based forums that copy and republish "rec.boats"
makes the total audience fairly large and world wide.



That's fine, but if one is so reluctant to share one's own information,
it might seem that one shouldn't be so eager to share in a disparaging
way information about someone else's spouse or children. But, of course,
that only applies to those with a bit of self-control. :)

You didn't mention having children with wife #3. Cmon Krausie, you're
holding out on us.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

personal.

Faulty logic. If I tell you my son is drinking up all the beer in the
house, and you say something
about his drinking habits, then you've opened the door. There is no
requirement that anyone provide
personal information to you. I've provided personal information about
my employment and been called
a rapist and baby killer - by you.

I don't think your "revelation" that your wife works or worked for the
government is particularly personal, or that your son in law is in the
military is particularly personal.

You brought up comments I've made about you, based upon your military
career. You've made plenty of disparaging remarks about other posters
here, including remarks about me.

Neither of those are the same as making disparaging remarks about a
poster's spouse or children who do not post here. Other than my hope
that he returns safe, I have no comment to make about your son in law
serving in one of those overseas hellholes.

I have nothing but admiration for the spouses of many posters here. :)

It's about time you bristled at some of the comments that have been
made. I was beginning to think you have no spine.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

were in that folder, I see you haven't changed your stripes in name
calling, and you'll probably soon be back in the DNR folder, keeping
Slammer company.

You're in charge of how you behave here. If you want to be a

Hope you're having a spectacular day!

He's regretting that he leaked enough personal information for us to
have a field day with it. Now he thinks we should follow suit so he can
get even. What a Dilbert.


And once again, you'd be wrong.
How's that name calling working out for you?
Not name calling is working out well for me.

I'm amazed at how long you've kept the gutter talk down. Keep up the
good work. You need to work on the insulting though. That's your weak side.


Not interested in either. You and a couple of your buds have taken
possession of the insult rice bowl, and there's really no need for
others to participate. Your insults and name-calling say more about you
than those you are trying to insult.

Have a nice day.
