Atrocious grammar notwithstanding, that sentence is just as true
today as it was ten years ago. You can whine about it if you want
but all the whining and Kum Ba Yahing in the world ain't gonna
change a damn thing.

I doubt you could find your ass with both hands and a diagram, or even
pour **** out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

You are merely an egregious waste of time.

I saw that pic after I (regrettably) followed the link
The Loony posted to roff. Is it true that pic was taken
by The Loony's hired transvestite hooker ?

Not one of roff's finest hours.

Lying again Kenny boy. You lapped it up, because then you had
something to write about, and the opportunity to further denigrate and
defame others in your inimitable fashion.

Don't need to work on it, already established, and you stupid *******s
have made such exhibitions of yourselves here that nobody takes much
notice of you anyway. Even if you all started posting sensible stuff
tomorrow, which is not at all likely, there is no way you can gloss
over or make people forget what you are, or how you have behaved.

If your opinion was worth anything, I might be worried.

That is the quite simple reason why many people avoid this place, you
are just too stupid to see it.

In reality...none whatsoever.

Its not the lack of fishing talk; its the battles with serious intent

Give it a rest

Your nose hair post is a new low. No ****. That whole bit was beyond
offensive.
It was just possibly the most disturbing undude-like post in ROFF
webbery.
Jebus man, what is next? How to wipe your ass? Pop a zit? What?
First you, then that bare assed **** up.
Ill write the rest off to folks just trying to make it go away ASAP

You want real old timer ****?
Here is one: putting on your shoes in the morning.
Want another? Watching stuff go to hell.
Want another? smiling while fools talk w/out smacking them.
Thats real old timer **** you'll need to learn how to do.

Now you know everything important that you will have to learn.
But pleeaassse, just leave your ****ing nose hairs alone
Earth Spirit put them there to keep the bull**** from sloshing up your
nose
But if you decide differently just don't talk about it. OK?
It drives folks away from ROFF.

Indeed, he has no **** on his nose hair, because unlike you, he
doesn't have his head up his ass.

One is bound to wonder what these dumbos are like in real life. Not
that I would ever want to meet any of them. I would actually probably
try to smile, but I rather fear it would be more of a strained feral
grimace.

Really, no sensible person behaves like this, it is quite beyond the
pale! They simply fail to realise it.

Well, the strange part is that, of the many roffians I HAVE met IRL
(which by now is quite a few), every one of them has been an excellent
fellow and someone I'm happy to have wet a line with, and would do so
again, in a heartbeat. It certainly makes it harder to read the ad-
hominem flame wars, since I know first hand that some of the
individuals are not at all how they are being portrayed or
characterizing themselves.

Its just bizarre how so many folks have such different on-line
personnas...not just in how they present themselves, but in how they
choose to converse and their concern on how they impact conversation.

Case in point: I had the absolute grandest weekend fishing with Dave
LaCourse on the Rapid, and look forward wholeheartedly to the next
time we meet and fish. He really is a great guy; generous and open,
and with interesting stories and a real pleasure to just sit and chat
with. Despite our vastly different policial leanings, we got along
without a hitch, and even listened to each other's political POV
without attacking each other. Its a simple example of how, IRL, people
make a choice to not engage with deliberately inflammatory remarks or
to generate ill-will, but instead to be collegial and 'get along'. I
consider him a friend.

There's nothing 'kum ba ya-ish' about it; people in real life who
deliberately poison conversation without cause are bullies and
assholes. And most folks just don't like bullies and assholes. Yet on
line, somehow its considered reasonable behavior. I don't get it, I
don't like it, and I don't want to participate in it.
