As opposed to your personal attacks on me?

You mean, my scurrilous, unconscionable opinion that I expressed *once*
recently, where I observed that you are often "flagrantly rude" in rec.boats?
If you call that sort of observation a "personal attack," Mr. Krause, well,
maybe Usenet is just too harsh an environment for you.


I believe this is the second or third time we're reading this screed of
yours, and there have been others.

Tell you what: why don't you quote them? Or, failing that, admit that you
are...wrong.

Apart from the fact that my observation of your behavior here is accurate, if a
skosh gentle,

Oh, puh-lease. Stop assigning yourself powers of observation that are as
flatlined as your writing skills.

You're saying that your behavior in rec.boats is *not* consistently rude? It
really doesn't take great "powers of observation" to make that determination,
given your posting volume.

I do find it interesting that you react to that observation in
that way. It's pretty much par for the course, though; I have never seen you
pursue a discussion with anyone here without injecting your own brand of vitriol
and personal attacks.

You need an editor. You're far too wordy. And if that is the conclusion
you draw from my posting here, you simply are not widely read.

Would you like to rebut my statement? I hate to break it to you, but I really
don't read most of your posts--they're repetitive and don't bring any content to
the table.

I think, for all your posturing here, you really are thin-skinned.

Joe Parsons

Me? Thin-skinned? With all the abuse I get here? Sheesh. And you were
the one who overreacted to a posting about you I reposted here. Talk
about thin-skinned...

Yes. I do think you're thin-skinned. And how does my observation of your
behavior here, along with my asking you to substantiate your claim that I've
made some number of attacks against you, constitute "overreacting?"
