Chuck does not find offense in everything that is said. Harry, et al,
have said
much more despicable things about people, their parents, and their
race, but
Chuck has said nothing.

Chuck comments when someone has different political convictions.

I have recently spoken up for JimH after Harry blasted him, and have
done so for you in the past as well.

As it apparently isn't noted or appreciated, I won't repeat that
mistake again.

It may be tough for some of you to understand or accept- but there's a
whole great big bunch of the world that just simply ignores a major
portion of what certain people post. Lack of comment often indicates a
lack of interest.

Your attempts at fairness are transparent.

If you were a true equal oppourtunity caller you would immediately call the
"Progressives" and not have to be prompted to do so.

Why do you use Google groups? So your identity can be hidden?

Sure, Chuck posts using his _real_name_ in his e-mail address so that he
can (Drumroll please!) hide his identity.


Sheesh.

Garth, never mind.

You'll only confuse them. :-)

Why? Are you now going to condone his behavior here?

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

Of course not.

It probably escaped your notice, but I address and respond to Harry
Krause less than almost any active poster in the group.
Of course that may be due to the fact that most posts to and from Harry
involve name flaming and naming- and almost nothing more. (Name calling
is a crutch for folks unable to be insult more creatively, just as
personal attack is the crutch of people hopelessly outgunned in
debate).

There are tpical Krause threads with 45 posts; Harry has 22 of them,
and about three guys (sometimes including you) have six or seven
apiece. Most will be scathing personal remarks, with the Krause Klub
getting back about as good as they dish out. There are even a bunch of
folks here that never comment about boats, at all, but never fail to
wade into a good old fashioned Krause fight. Nobody even knows or cares
who started it, way back when. (Easily could have been Harry, he has
that sort of tendency).

Condone is behavior? I think not, and excessive piling on is a sport
enjoyed by a very specific portion of this group. I don't side with
Harry, the vast majority of the time. Harry is a big boy, he causes his
own trouble, and he can look out for himself.

As I said, lack of comment more often indicates lack of interest than
agreement.

It's not my job to be "fair". If I were fair, I'd be the only guy in
sight (with any sort of definite opinion) who was.

Most of the time that I'm bitching about the tactics of the right wing
is when they are lobbing crap at me, personally.

I seldom comment about something one person posted about another, if
I'm not involved. When I have done so, I have blasted Harry Krause
about as often as anybody else.

I don't claim to be fair, but to say that I never criticize Harry
Krause is a blatant falsehood.
It seemed to ring especially hollow coming from a couple of guys for
whom I have (on a few occassions) spoken up in the past.
