Jeff, Ive met and spent time with at least a dozen or so "Wolfgangs" over
the years. Even had a few for "friends," at least till they blew their
brains out, or I got tired of cleaning up situations their obnoxious
behaviour engendered. I'm retired, and only have a select whacko
"caseload," so help yourself to his whawackneyness and God bless your
tolerance.

Ah, the lonely one-man boat of sanity awash on a sea of madness! VERY
painterly. The faint blush of martyrdom, in particular, contrasts nicely
with the overall projected air of jagged edged professionalism.

You're a better man than me McGee.

That much is doubtless true.

And who says painters can't be superficial?

Well, the good ones at least present the illusion of depth.

But see here, Dave, as invigorating and delightful as these little exchanges
undeniably are (else, why would anyone participate, right?), they do take
place within the context of a broader community wherein the needs and
desires of ALL the citizens' should be taken into account. If I'm not badly
mistaken, there have lately been hints, however few and subtle, that not
everyone is as amused by these boyish highjinx as thee and me. All well and
good, sez I, we are after all a democracy, and the requirements of the many
naturally and quite reasonably take precedence over the whims of the few.
So, what's to be done, eh? Well, I have a proposal to put before you.

If you, Barnard, Fortenberry, Le, Findley (I am, of course, prepared to make
certain allowances for those entirely without experience), Choc, LaCourse,
and Janik behave like adults for one calendar month, to begin on November
first of this year, I will do the same. There! Just think of it! I offer
all of you a cost free opportunity to have a salutary impact on behavior and
the mental and emotional health of your erstwhile peers, AND at the same
time gain some measure of the respect for which you all so desperately long
and yet find so damnably elusive. What could be more fair and equitable
than that? At the very least, it should prove to be an interesting
experiment in self-restraint and behavior modification. Whattya say?

NO excuse for that **** in this day and age) and sundry ****-weasels as they
make notice of their presence inescapable.

What a pathetic dip**** you are, Fortenberry.

Interesting proposition. But perhaps a bit too overly ambitious to succeed.
Too many moving parts. Lets entertain an alternative: How about YOU and I
enter into essentially the same bargain to "behave like adults for one
calendar month?" . . . see, a one-for one deal. Maybe even appoint a
"proctor" to sort out close calls OFFLINE? Someone not known to get into
****ing matches (Walt, Harry, George, Snoop, Bruiser, Wilson etc,etc) or
without one if no-one has the stomach for it(?)

Wasn't asking anyone to do anything I'm not prepared to do myself. Wasn't
really asking anyone to do anything, if you think about it. Where's the
presumption? You're just ****ed because you know that, as you have just
demonstrated once again, you'd still get cracked on the deficient reader
clause.

You took it for granted (presumed) that the people of your list would
care about your little dare.

Interesting proposition.

I thought so too. Evidently we are in the minority.

But perhaps a bit too overly ambitious to succeed.

Let your reach exceed your grasp, else you will certainly spend the rest of
your life replaying the same old tired masturbatory role reversing fantasy
in which everybody else in the world is an ideologue and Dave is
rational.....not to mention subjecting a whole lot of other people who
aren't interested and who, by and large, deserve better treatment, to
endless repetitions of it. To be perfectly frank, it's kinda sick, and I'd
be much surprised if anyone else really is titillated by it.

Too many moving parts.

How refreshing, at long last, to encounter a euphemism that accurately
elucidates your opinion of the insignificant fraction of humanity that is
not Dave. Not that I agree with your opinion, mind you, I'm just delighted
that you have finally seen fit to express it so baldly.

Lets entertain an alternative:

I take it then, that you are declining to participate in my proposed
experiment. In a work of fiction, this would be the point where the
protagonist expresses shock and dismay at learning that his well crafted
plan to save the world is rejected out of hand without so much a hint that
it had been given serious consideration by anyone whose consideration should
be taken seriously. In reality, I'm not surprised.

How about YOU and I
enter into essentially the same bargain to "behave like adults for one
calendar month?" . . . see, a one-for one deal.

Ah, mano y mano, huh? Just you and the mind-numbingly inept hired assasin
in one last final showdown that will decide conclusivley and forever who
runs this town, eh? A hush falls over the multitude as they engage in a
collective yawn and, in sudden blinking awareness, ask themselves, "Oh, so,
it's the same old drill is it......this is all about Dave again,
huh......well ****, what ain't?".

Maybe even appoint a "proctor" to sort out close calls OFFLINE?

"OFFLINE?"? As in something that shouldn't see the light of day? If you're
suggesting the kind of thing that your projected persona and you history in
ROFF inevitably make one suppose, then I assure you I am not the least bit
interested.......and somebody should tell your mother! :(

Someone not known to get into
****ing matches (Walt, Harry, George, Snoop, Bruiser, Wilson etc,etc)

In the admittedly unlikely event that any of them should prove so ungracious
as to neglect to thank you for involving them in this, please allow me to do
so for them. I am certain that they will thank me for it.

or without one if no-one has the stomach for it(?)

Or.......if you don't like my idea (it's o.k., LOTS of people.....especially
at your age....are afraid to try something entirely outside their
experience......no shame in that) we can just go on as before.....hey, it'll
be LOADS of fun! :)

You took it for granted (presumed) that the people of your list would
care about your little dare.

See, this is EXACTLY why I insisted on reserving the right to chastise
grossly deficient readers! As you will will not be able to follow the rest
of this paragraph, I strongly urge you to skip it (thus saving yourself any
further embarrassment), and leave it as an explication for those of marginal
literacy. While the offer I made was tongue in cheek, due in no small part
to the fact that the very candidates named are by their nature in no
position to make good on a promise to participate, I would have been happy
to see it through. It WOULD have been an interesting experiment. That
said, it was obvious even before I broached the subject, that no thinking
person would take it seriously, let alone "...care about [my] little dare"
(which, incidentally, was no such thing). But, there's the rub. No
thinking person was invited to participate, as is eminently clear from the
responses generated thus far. If I were dealing with thinking persons
(read"adults") I would never have made the offer in the first
place......there is no reason to suppose that the thought would have
occurred to me under such circumstances......there would have been no
reason. Conversely, if I HAD been dealing with adults (and assuming that
such an offer had been put before them for God knows what reason), it is
perfectly natural and reasonable to suppose that I would have gotten
something bearing at least a faint resemblance to an adult response. See?

You're just ****ed because you know that, as you have just
demonstrated once again, you'd still get cracked on the deficient reader
clause.

Such a pompous little man. g

Well, what can one say in response to cleverness of that caliber? winky,
winky, nudge, nudge :)

Just read your last post over a few times, slowly, and ask yourself why it
made sense to you when you wrote it. Then ask yourself if you really need
half a dozen guys accompanying you to enable a month's good behaviour.

O.k., hang on just a minute..............

Hm.........well, I guess it made sense to me when I wrote it because
the specific dates for a SE Minnesota clave don't really make a great
deal of difference to me. The part about Friday was just for humorous
effect.

Then ask yourself if you really need
half a dozen guys accompanying you to enable a month's good
behaviour.

I see your point. No, I guess a few days in Cyli's company will have
a salutary effect sufficient to last me a month or so. It worked last
time.
