... Seems to me it's that perspective thingy
again. I mean, yeah, if you work from the assumption that this is all being
done for our entertainment, then yes, it is a bit of a petty irritation. On
the other hand, if you assume that these halfwits are serious......not as
preposterous a proposition as it may first seem.......then it all becomes
vastly amusing. Um......think Snedeker with a vocabulary and a balanced
medication regimen.

One takes amusement where one finds it I guess, but a couple of weeks of
this silliness grows wearisome and I LIKE baiting the halfwits. I'm STILL
****ed at 'tripper for running off Mr. Magazine before his entertainment
value had expired.

BTW, if you ever have the opportunity to meet Dave Snedeker you two will
get along famously. Beneath that exterior of a wry, uncompromising,
scattergun sense of outrage lies an intelligent and humorous fishing buddy
with a wry, uncompromising, scattergun sense of outrage. ;-)

Different strokes......I find it endlessly entertaining.

and I LIKE baiting the halfwits.

But of course. I can find no fault with that policy......and no one would
believe me if I said I did.

Oh, he's still reading. And I'd have bet a shiny new nickel that he'd be
back......but I think you probably just tipped him off. Bad you!

Sad, but probably true. Many a mutually rewarding relationship has been
utterly ruined by face to face encounter.

Perhaps the understatement of the year.

1. Gary Perez of Bluestone rod is ****ed because he got moderated or
edited on the rod board. The reason he posted it here is because he
thought he would get back at the board owner and maybe 'ruin' him by
virtue of public opinion. It would appear that he failed.

2. Any of you who aren't interested in this conversation and believe
the participants to be 'halfwits' make an interesting bunch of
halfwits yourself - why are you bothering to read and respond to
anything which you say you have no interest in? I think you actually
relish the 'drama.'

Hmmmm. This smells of a previous thread. "I know you are, but what am I?"

- why are you bothering to read and respond to
anything which you say you have no interest in? I think you actually

No doubt about it, but there is a very fine line between comedy and drama. Us
roff-halfwits (and I DO speak for all of us) are just trying to point out that
you and your band of halfwits crossed this line some time ago and are rapidly
approaching slapstick. Hell, we LIVE for this stuff.

A little comic relief is always welcome, no matter what the subject or
source. If you wish to construe that as "interest", well then you are
correct. If you actually read the responses to date, you will discover that
most people were merely trying to point out to dear old sapphire that he is
wasting his time posting this stuff here.

His reasons for doing so were quite obvious from the start, as were his
specious arguments. The effect on Mr.Kirkman will likely remain absolutely
zero, apart perhaps from some mild amusement on his part, as based on his
silly posts to date, nobody gives a **** what dear old sapphire has to say
about him. Not even Mr.Kirkman, as the motivation and absolutely ridiculous
basis for the posts is amply clear, and is set out very clearly in the posts
themselves.

Even supposing that everything old sapphire writes is the absolute and
unadorned truth, this by no means casts a slur on Mr. Kirkman, as he has the
perfect right to do anything he likes on his own board, and nobody with any
sense, either here or elsewhere, will disagree with that basic premise,
which our poor befuddled old sapphire apparently finds impossible to accept.

Our precious stone is obviously more than somewhat misguided regarding
"boards" specifically, and Usenet and the internet in general. He is not the
first, and he wont be the last.

For some, including myself, such behaviour is fascinating, as it gives
insight into abnormal thought processes, which are also based on faulty
reasoning. Observing such behaviour is perversely satisfying, possibly due
to its very abnormality.

The complete inability to grasp or accept obvious facts, although fairly
widespread, is not easy to observe in such glorious completeness. Here we
have a perfect example of it, not the first we have seen here, but
definitely
one of the more shining examples, and are suitably awed and curious as to
its
causes and effects. Indeed, some of us are driven to investigate even
further, in the, probably completely vain, hope of understanding how such a
thing is possible.

Practically the only way to give anybody here the impression that you are a
half-wit, is, to behave like one. In this case, all the relevant criteria
have been fulfilled.

Strange as it may seem, this newsgroup exists for no other purpose than
allowing people to read what others post. Deciding not to read some posts,
requires conscious effort, or action, and this is simply too much trouble to
take.
Many people here read every single post. Even the stupid ones. This even
provides a modicum of amusement on occasion.

Some dramas may benefit from having a large number of players. I don´t think
this one will.
