So why are you following me around throwing insults my way? Even in
the vast majority of cases where I've not mentioned you or insulted
you in any way?

If you can't resist insulting people, then admit it. Otherwise, enter
the agreement with me, and let's put it behind us. Your reputation in
this NG awaits your decision.

This is all quite funny. Don, you're saying that I come here just to

replies to my posts that were just to stir the pot yourself. Replies
to posts that had nothing to do with you, and said nothing about you
in any way. Yet you felt the need to jump in with your childish
insults.

It would be quite easy to count them up and show that you and a couple
of others on this NG, not me, are the most prolific pot stirrers here.

In any case, you'd find that if you did not insult me, I would not
insult you. Indeed, I think that taking care of one's mom in her
waning years is a noble and giving gesture. Surely you'll agree that
making childish insults on this NG is not in line with that.

So, you quit, and I'll quit. We'll draw the line here. It's totally
up to you. But understand that a shot over my bow, even if you're
just doing a follow-up for Harry, will negate it all. Your choice.

Hmmm.. I get the feeling that entering a deal with you would be akin to
Israel entering an agreement with Hezbollah.
I will pledge that I will never degrade your mother ..or any other
member of your family.
I will not belittle your boat, whether it's a 100 foot trawler or an 8
foor pram, as that is the one thing most of us have in common and should
be the reason why we're here.


So you'll continue with your childish name-calling?

As I'm sure you'll continue with your childish behavior.

You're worried about my reputation??
Better clean up your own first.

Nope... unless you do. So what do you say?

Do you agree to stop this Don, or do you want to continue the
name-calling?

It's your call.

PLEASE...just stop, even if he doesn't. If he doesn't then just killfile him
and be done with it.

It probably would be better if we just gave up insulting each other all
together.


Just curious; did you ever see the movie "Grumpy Old Men"? Do you see any
correlation with this NG? Other then there is no Ann Margaret, many of the
characters here seem similar.



I think the characters in the movie were funnier.

Let's just say I'll keep an eye on you. You've already called me
childish a couple of times. I doubt you can control yourself but I'll
give you the benefit of the doubt...for now!

I could chase everyone around the NG, daring them to take a silly
challenge because they call me a name I chose. Nahhh... that'd be
over the line.

What a pathetic loser,saying stuff about someone's elderly mother.

Childish name-calling destroys the tiny bit of credibiliy you had
left, Kevin.

Grow up.

Yeah, everyone here knows that the only person who can engage in name
calling and petty insults without being called to the carpet is JimH.


I see you made it to work safely again.

Since you state you are self-employed how do you make money when all you
do all week is post to this newsgroup? I believe that you are charging
your clients for time you spend posting. I hope you don't send them
bills through the US mail.
