Wow. Are you trying to start something John and falling back to your old
way?

I offered an olive branch and you try to bite my hand.


I guess we have to go to Dr. Phil to get some insight into our Johnny.
As the good doctor says... "the best indicator of future behaviour is past
behaviour".
What can you do??

No, you didn't.

Your comment, directed at Don:
"Unlike your wife, I do not need to stray."

That's what you said.

Quite beyond your usual nonsense, this whole thing goes beyond the
pale.

Just drop it.

I'm a shtickler for reading comprehension.

No - what you are is a person who needs some serious trephining to let
the air out and deflate the ego.

We'll agree to disagree, apparently.

Don, why do you snip a portion of the text which is simply sociable? Is
the
name-calling and rancor more enjoyable?


Johnny...that's for the benefit of anyone else who may be reading your
posts. Doing my best to *same* them from complete boredom.
It's bad enough that I have to quote a line or two to prove my point.

ooops..make that *save*


Don't know what 'point' you're trying to prove, but you must be doing a
good job.

So, how's the boat? Have you had the wife out yet? What does she think of
it?

Here's yet another of the many daily attacks from "Don White",
a frequent rec.boats poster, and if you count them up, you will see how
little he adds here in boating/fishing content or interesting reading.

Johnny...are you that much in awe of Harry that you have to copy
everything he does.
I'm embarassed for you....... please try to be original and think up
your
own gimmicks.


JohnH actually has a point Don. From what I have read (those post of
theirs
which Harry and others have responded to) both JohnH and Reggie have
actually learned to act nicely here.

I am about to take them out of my Bozo bin in hopes that they have indeed
found religion. If they revert back to their old ways........back in they
go.

No need to be the one to start stirring the pot with them. Give them a
chance.

I am going to.


Don't limit your 'acting nicely' to just Reggie and I. You'll not that a
famous name-caller has stopped also.

And, don't do us any favors unless you plan to change your ways. Harry was
up front about changing his, but I see no such indication from you.

If you'll check your posts, I think you'll find a great number in which
you
were making derogatory comments or 'implications' which were bull****.

Wow. Are you trying to start something John and falling back to your old
way?

I offered an olive branch and you try to bite my hand.


Jim, you offered me nothing. You responded to a post made by Don. There's
no attack in my post to you.

I didn't think it was mean spirited, but I didn't find them funny.
Humor is so subjective. I actually think I am funny, but then again I
LOVED "The Far Side" and "Calvin and Hobbs" so there is no accounting

The only thing less funny than a bad joke, is the definition of humor:

Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the ability or quality of
people, objects, or situations to evoke feelings of amusement in other
people. The term encompasses a form of entertainment or human
communication which evokes such feelings, or which makes people laugh or
feel happy. The origin of the term derives from the humoral medicine of
the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours
(Greek: ?????, chymos, literally: juice or sap, metaphorically: flavour)
controlled human health and emotion.

A sense of humour is the ability to experience humour, a quality which
all people share, although the extent to which an individual will
personally find something humorous depends on a host of absolute and
relative variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity,
level of education, and context. For example, young children (of any
background) may possibly favour slapstick, such as Punch and Judy puppet
shows or cartoons e.g. Tom and Jerry. Satire may rely more on
understanding the target of the humour, and thus tends to appeal to more
mature audiences.[citation needed] Non-satirical humor can be
specifically termed "recreational drollery".[1][2]

(Emphasis mine)

That's the key.

To see (or be) as a child is the most over looked aspect of maturity.
Sometimes, you just have to be childlike in your demeanor or you end
up like Doug Kanter - bitter, constantly angry and disinclined to
present a rational face to the world.

I'll match my professional and education credentials against anyone
else here, yet I can appreciate a good fart joke or bit of slapstick
with as much enjoyment as any 7 year old. That's the difference
between me and a large majority of the regulars here - I don't mind
making an ass of myself from time-to-time - it keeps me humble.

It's the uptight, faux pretention of superioity - hell, let's call it
what it is, arrogance, that Chuck presents when things like this come
up that that annoys me to no end.

You know he laughed his ass off, but the Social Calvinist in him
required that he punish himself and others for momentary "weakness".

I'll take being class clown over class prig anytime. :)

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not totally defending Chuck here. But, there is
another way of looking at this issue.

I'm no big fan of Doug Kanter, but I'm even less of a fan of the *fake*
Doug Kanter. We don't need his kind around at all.

I personally think that a large percentage of Chuck's reaction was directed
at the fake Doug Kanter, not at the little movie itself.

As a matter of fact, I think he was leaving as I came into the group. I
don't recall much of him.
