Does anyone have a clue why he reports the news as though he had just

his report with Associated Press?

It appears that on rare occasion he goes for a boat ride, but then he
very
quickly returns to the news reporting.

Is this the only place on the internet that he can freely "play"
journalists?

Welcome to rec boats.

Your post has precipitated a behavior I often refer to as "pig piling".
Party A makes a disparaging remark about Party B, (even starts a
dedicated thread for the purpose), and easily predicted Parties C, D,
E, etc jump in to
take a shot as well. Several of the worst offenders involved in this
type of behavior recently resolved to stop, and the tone of the group
improved as a result. Please reconsider any future urges to create a
thread specifically designed to heap criticism on another person. If
cutting and pasting newspaper articles is not acceptable in the NG, why
is starting a thread to trash another person a much better or
appropriate idea?

I sure am glad I didn't respond to Don's message.

Why did you think it is acceptable to use Don's message as an opportunity to
heap criticism on others?

Huh?? My computer says you did reply to my reply to the original poster.
Is it all getting a bit confusing trying to keep up?

Don,
I replied to your comment, I did not respond to the original Don (Don
Dando). Do you need a scorecard to keep up with this thread? ; )

Ok..you're off the hook...but you gotta be more specific when you say "Don"!

***********************

Two comments: Prior to my comment you had participated in the thread
four times. Three of those comments were anti-Harry, and the fourth a
criticism of liberals in general. You certainly have no need to ask why
it would be acceptable to use a thread to heap criticism on others,
unless you have no idea why you do what you did prior to my comment in
this trhread.

I criticized Parties A, B, C, etc. I will accept a protest from parties
A, B, and C as they were specifically named in my indictment. :-) Why
are you saying anything at all? Does the shoe fit so well you suspect
most will just expect you to be one of the folks who is wearing it? If
so, why do you believe most people would suspect my comment applied to
you? Would it have anything to do with your choice of behavior?

One of the funniest and most predictable responses in a group like this
is that one can say, "I sure get tired of miserable, pig headed,
hatefully motivated, negatively oriented, character assassins" and sure
as the sun rises in the east somebody will speak up and say, "Yeah?
Well we get tired of you, too."

Sorry about that. I have been very busy with Homeland Security issues,
and advising for the Iraq war. What can i do for you?

It is because I work for Assiated Press. I didnt know I was coming
across that strong.

Yes. I am a millionaire. I own a mansion and a yatch. Now where is
that srcewy rabbit?

Dont you dare insult me here. I will call your ISP, and have you
forcably removed from the internet. Ive done it before, and Ill do it
again.

Now I gotta go. Pioliting my own ABBA hydro in Spain.
