Can fly lines go "bad" on the shelf?

By claiming 'a perfectly civil discourse', I assume you are not
referring
to your post in Padishar's thread, then?

not?

Anyway, pretty fair assumption. As a matter of fact, given that the
phrase "in what had previously been a perfectly civil discourse"
appeared in what had been a perfectly civil discourse prior to
Stevie's entry into it and that it clearly refers to the condition of
that discourse prior to Stevie's entry into it and that there was no
reference or even allusion "Padishar's thread" until after your
appearance, I'd be willing to bet that your assumption is not only
fair, but correct.


I won't argue that stevie's post was meant as a jab at something; you guys
are having your own love affair here that I won't get into. However you
called me into this thread with a direct reference to what was posted in the
other thread. And although the words "Padishar's thread" did not appear
until I posted them, any effort now to say that you were not resurrecting
our discussion here is pretty disingenuous. Unless you care to explain how
I missed a point?

that post was guaranteed to offend,

To be sure. Of course, this invites any number of questions
concerning who it was meant to offend, who it actually DID offend (and
why), why one might or not find it offensive, etc., etc.

Well, you're the one with the answers to those questions. Especially the
first one. But if you insist on being offensive, don't be suprised that
people who get offended point it out to you.

Then too,
there is fertile ground in various subsequent statements made by
several other people. But, I suppose that's not the sort of thing we
want to get into, eh?

Not if its going to produce the type of fruit that those conversations with
you usually produce. Or is that what we are supposed to be learning whenever
you post something to the effect of 'lets see if they learned anything'?


and came up in a perfectly civil discourse.

And?



And I see enough playground bullies in my job to recognize them when I see
them, and you are a playground bully who hides behind the veneer of 'he
started it'. Of course, in defense you'll just toss half-meanings and
allusions around until everything is so obfuscated that you can pretend to
dance away unscathed, while everyone around you is aware of the process.

I'd appreciate any insight you may have to offer......teacher.

Oh, I'm not so sure of that......lab tech.
