i didn't snip much, because i wanted to accentuate my support for each
and every word.
i'm sick and tired of it. clearly, neither i nor you, nor anyone else,
has the authority to affect the flow of invective, and it is unlikely that
the participants will care what you say, or be concerned by the expression

consider this something that i just ought to do--and should have done
earlier, if for no other reason than to stand and be counted.
i don't propose to threaten anyone with anything, and i certainly don't
intend to turn on my heel, swirl my cape, and leave in a huff. i simply
wish these good people would find a way to leave it all alone, or take it
somewhere else.
btw, i was in that ford pickup on the way to snowbird those many years

Thanks for the word "Invective" I had to look that one up. It's hell
to be verbally challenged.
Some threads just seem to follow the rules of gravtiy or entropy,
they just keep moving till they reach their lowest state.
This one started with ideals skipped events and went right to people.
Falwell personified a lot of repulsive ideals. Upsets a lot of people
when he's the one making up the rules for getting into heaven.
I think I error in saying something about Hugo Chavez. It was Pat that
wanted him shot, wasn't it??

Interesting. The Nazis, if my minimal readings shed any light on the

Stick Wolfgang in your killfile and you will eliminate most of the
unpleasantness you're so sick and tired of. And if every single
target of his invective were to do the same, or completely ignore
him, there would be no invective ping pong. It's a simple solution,
that's why it will never work. ;-)

POTY, if not the decade.

Thanks for saying what many are feeling.

Russell

Well, Russell, I trust that my good friend Jeff will not take it amiss if I
point out that "POTY" (let alone "decade") is a bit of a stretch. His own
recent trip reports concerning this month's goings on in the southern
Appalachians were, by any standard, at least as good and, in my estimation,
better. That said, no reasonable person could take exception to the
sentiment expressed by him and Wayno and shared by you, me, and sundry
others. The trouble is that we are working within and dealing with a
democratic forum. The majority produce.....and get.....what they want.
When you've got some free time, take a look at thread titles......and who
starts them. Look at how threads morph, when, how, why, and who's
responsible. If all this seems a bit vague and confusing, consider
this......

In just over two years I've put forth in this newsgroup 19 offerings in a
series titled "Forgotten Treasures." 34 threads in all, counting various
parts. In aggregate, they have generated a grand total of 161 posts, not
counting the original post in each thread. This is considerably less than
we find in any one of scores of threads in any given year. Why? Because
it's not what the majority want.......it's not what interests them.

What interests them......what they WANT......is useless verbal ping pong.
So be it.

Of course, if the majority ever wants the idiots, morons, cretins,
illiterates, killers, haters, self-loathers, racists, misogynists, bigots,
assholes, et al. to stop.......well, a large group identifying them by name
and asking them to stop probably wouldn't be a bad first step.

Wolfgang
who, not so incidentally, is the best ping pong player (verbal or otherwise)
he's ever seen.
