When I first participated in ROFF more actively i was blasted by Tim J for
top posting
I quickly learned.
How come this same Tim J doesn't comment on the fool who refuses to post
his politcal crap as off topic
- Much less even on this list

I wonder why?

Ken
I have no prioblems w you though some others may
I even like and respect you
but how come you don't comment on this OT posting ****er
You participate in these threads

When I comment on politics it gets me riled and ****ed - Why not!

if you are not ****ed you must be brain dead like a would be pirate that
used to post on this list
Some people on this list have classified my political views as drooling
Some even try to discredit them by discrediting me - the same stupid
piorate

MCain is a nothing and a has been for years now
My border collie is smarter
But that is not for this list

Can you help to keep this rdean critter OT?
I did not join ROFF for politics
I fish to avoid this stuff -Bush Cheney Hillary Obama McCain and American
politics does disgust me to no end

I does not belong on ROFF
The realities are, however, that with what ios happening to our planet - it
is unavaoidable not to discuss politics

But at least keep it OT

Fred you should really read the roff FAQ:

http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~jcook/ROFF/

There really is nothing that would be considered off-topic on roff.
The theory is if you're on a fishing trip and you gather around
the fire at night with a friend or three and a beer or two you're
gonna talk about a lot of things. Anything you'd talk about around
that fire is fair game for roff. We like it that way. Once you notice
a particular thread has turned to something you don't want to read,
don't read it anymore. It really is that simple. The onus is on you
to read what you want and leave the rest, the onus is not on the rest
of us to discuss only what makes you comfortable.

As for rdean, he is one of the most contentious, argumentative and
profane arseholes I've ever met. And there's few folks on earth with
whom I'd rather share a campfire and a beer.

Fred,

Let it go man....

Someone once compared ROFF to sitting around a camp fire or in a bar with a
bunch a guys... Most anything can and will be discussed, you will disagree
with some of the stuff that is mentioned and dislike some of the
participants. Would you go *off* as you have sitting around the camp fire? I
think not...

You go off on these political rants and then **** and moan about OT posts!?
Practice what you preach and you might earn some respect around the
campfire...

YMMV,
JT

I would rant about those scumbags anywhere
and because it is not a camopfire at least keep OT posts OT

The difference is that in ROFF no one can punch you in the nose if you
cross the bounds of decent behavior. Wolfgang and Fortenberry would long
since have had the **** kicked out of them if they acted the way they do
in ROFF in the bars I frequent.
