A Plea for Sanity

listen, ken, i need you to tell me the truth about something: who the

Which is the "real" wayno, the scourge of the newbies or the Kumbaya
evangelist from the guitar group, a friend of mine, or a behind my
back tutor who teaches "roff according to wayno" via email ?

You and Tommy both are all-star hypocrites. I can't be more truthful
than that. It's sweet that you feel compelled to squeal like little
school girls when Louie gets a well-deserved bitch slapping, but he's
a big boy now, when he dances the flamenco on his dick with track
shoes he deserves to be good and thoroughly bitch slapped. I can't
be more truthful than that.

I am Ken Fortenberry, if that's not what you expected either change
your expectations or learn to use your killfile.

Forty notes:
You and Tommy both are all-star hypocrites

I'll let wayno speak for himself, but I would like to ask: Where is my
hypocrisy? First, my post went far beyond the recent exchanges with Louie, and
yes he did act poorly(I noted a possible excuse, but it is just that, a sort of
rationale for out of character behavior). I was responding far more to: 1. The
noted dearth of new blood
in the posted stats; 2. The TONE and personal nature of attacks of late and 3.
The lack of consideration between folks who seem to have a long, positive
personal history. Now, how that gets to be hypocrisy, looking back on what and
how I have exchanged thoughts over the past 9 years, I can't figure. It is
interesting that you, and you alone, take personal offense to my plea.
FWIW, I have NEVER killfiled anyone, of my own choice. I figure it leaves me
unable to rejudge a person's character or motives.
Yes, I can, and do, avoid a lot of threads, once they bore me. I know perfectly
well that all of us can. I still don't see where, to those to whom ROFF
matters, a need exists to act like a perfect dickhead, or an insensitive jerk,
to people you interact with.
Enlighten me as to your reasons, if you have them.

I had never, so far as I knew, ever had a cross word with you,
hell I've never even met you, when you ripped off a vicious
personal attack. I was surprised and I didn't know what to think.
You've repeated the performance on a couple of occasions since.
Therein lies your hypocrisy.

ok, Ken, we have a semantics issue here.
By personal attacks, I was referring to attacks taking a low road(ie: attacks
dealing with an individual's personal life,
health, relatives,etc). I realize perfectly well that exchanges between
individuals here, or anyplace, will involve pointing a single person out. My
"attacks" upon you were an expression of my dismay on the seemingly ignorant
manner you choose to display when attacking others. Yes, I feel you behave like
a complete asshole on here. Yes, I believe you behavior influences the choices
of others to be here. Further,
I feel you are a perfect example of the kind of Usenet participant who talks
one way online, and hasn't the balls to do the same in person. I would be more
than happy to say so to your face, should I encounter you.
All this said, you were far from the source of my original post here. I was
responding to a seeming avalanche of poor interpersonal communication.
hypocrisy my ass,

Semantics, my ass, you sanctimonious little prick, and I'd
be more than happy to say that in your face if I'm ever so
unfortunate as to cross paths with you.

Are you now ? That would make you a liar and a hypocrite.

Well, that went about as well as a Pollyanna plea could be
expected to go. Let that be a lesson to all of us.

Better watch it Tom, the last time Ken called you a sanctimonious little
prick wannabe, this time you've graduated to a full fledged
sanctimonious little prick. I'm jealous. I thought he had that label
reserved just for me.

You've graduated Willi, you've been the sanctimonious little prick
with a high horse welded on his arse for some time now. I was just
waiting for your diploma to come back from the printers.
