And I thought someone speaking with knowledge on HDH and HCH lines was
showing THEIR age. Lou Brock was better. g

What is a shame is watching people who are normally sensible

self-destruct
before my very eyes. Friends and would-be friends become venomous

enemies
with a
press of the enter key because they simply cannot contain themselves.

The
count
seems higher than normal this year. Here's an experiment: anyone can

post
whatever replies they want to this post, even slander and libel. Now is

your
chance - call me names and say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face
discussion, and I won't argue or reply because this is EOT for me.



Yah, yer ass sucks wind!

I would never fish with you unless I was in desperate need of a large

chunk
of stink bait!

Yer mother's so fat that when she sat on a quarter she squeezed a booger

out
of George Washington's nose!

If I had a dog as ugly as you I'd shave its ass and make it walk backwards
for the rest of its life!

Everything you know about anything would barely cover the bottom of a
thimble but it would still have to be destroyed because of the
contamination!

You are a molester of small furry anima.....um.....well, never mind about
that.

As a small child you were half of a set of twins. One of them died and

your
parents kept the wrong one!

I've seen things in bus station toilets that are prettier than you.....and
smelled better too!

Lepers think you're icky!

Starving jackals would make long detours through broken glass to avoid

you.

Some of you should try this EOT thingy sometime. It really doesn't hurt.


Works from this end, anyway.

Wolfgang

i couldn't agree more. read: reply on 2/3 to a 1/20 post.

I used to like this place, the camaraderie, discussion, the friendly help
and information that was dished out freely. Downright lies,
self-aggrandisement, and spam, especially from one specific person, were
the only real problems for me.

It now seems to have degenerated into a perverse club for a lot of
toothless haggling old women suffering from premature dementia, desperately
and mostly futilely, trying to bite and wound each other. Not surprising
that it sucks.

Even the off-topic stuff never bothered me much, I mainly ignored it.
Nowadays, it is practically all off-topic, and a great deal of personal
attacks and insults to boot. Ever wondered why hardly any newbies wander in
much anymore, or stay very long? Because it is just plain boring, reading a
lot of burnt out old wrecks trying their best to insult each other, in the
same old boring fashion, and anybody else who happens to get in the
crossfire, intentionally or otherwise.

Whatever, I donīt much like it anymore. I look in from time to time, in the
vague hope that there might be something interesting, but it is practically
always merely the same old vileness being dished out by the same people, and
contaminating others in the process.

At one time, the phrase " I would fish with him", was often used here, as
some sort of accolade. I have come to the conclusion that I would not fish
with quite a lot of people here, indeed, I would go out of my way to avoid
them. I have lost any respect I ever had for a goodly number, as a direct
result of their behaviour here.

It really is a shame.
