Nothing special

There was a time when I took most of what I read on here seriously, and I
was easily upset when people insulted me. Indeed, I actually thought that
some people might indeed be friends.

That time has long gone.

Ridiculous idea. I am no longer so naive, but there are one or two who
wander in here occassionally, and are still badly affected by what they are
then bound to endure.

The absolutely breathtaking arrogance displayed by some here is really
remarkable. I suppose they are lonely, or frustrated. Such is life.

Some obviously have no idea of their capacity to injure or damage others,
and apparently care even less. Of course this is a shame, buit it has
nothing to do with fishing. Which is just as well, as I would otherwise long
since have given it up.

Might I presume to suggest that if you gave less slack, you might even cast
better?

I hate slack.

Bathos at its most insipid.....but not lacking in a certain inadvertent

Ah, I see the slack is starting to itch.......

Your move. Squirming does not count.

My move? O.k. What was your intent in starting this thread? Was it
perhaps calculated to spread goodwill and understanding? Was it an attempt
to establish detente?

I fear you are in error. I did not start this thread.

Of course, I am always willing to spread goodwill and understanding.

I was not aware that relations were any more strained than usual?

MC

OOPS! Yes I did! Oh well! can´t win ´em all!

Really? Well.....dang.

Of course, I am always willing to spread goodwill and understanding.

Who could possible doubt it? Certainly not anyone who has been here for
more than a couple of weeks.

I was not aware that relations were any more strained than usual?

Well, I'll forego examining the fascinating question of whether or not it is
a good thing that the world as we know it doesn't depend on your
awareness......and the equally intriguing distinction between a question and
a statement of fact. But I can't but wonder who suggested to you that
relations are more strained than usual......or what relations we may be
talking about, for that matter.

Well that was a remarkable amount of foregoing.

The world as I know it does indeed depend on my awareness.

As I wrote, there is no point in trying to bull**** me. You have a very good
command of the English language, and I admire that. Indeed, in the meantime,
it is the only reason I read your posts. But you are an arrogant venial
person, at least your usenet persona gives this impression, perhaps
intentionally? I have no idea.

Whatever the case may be, I have better things to do just now, my girlfriend
will be here in ten minutes.

Might we postpone the ****ing contest for the nonce? Or even indefinitely?

Bloody pointless anyway.

fairy!).
