If someone called me an idiot or moron or even imbecile to my face, I can
still handle myself quite well and I would kick the goat in his scrotum
If some verbose ass and classless pedantic bore called me that in a ng -
well I would killfile the prick!

I wuz born in de Brooklyn - No Fear here!!

BTW I would never harm a real goat, much less any animal - Ssub humans or
those who pretend to be - I have no problem w bodily harm to them

Wow. Threats of physical violence delivered from the safety of
your keyboard. You're a real Usenet tough guy, you are.

You're a classless, clueless and terribly pedantic bore, with
nothing better to do than look for racism where there is none. Get a life,
Ken, please.

With rdean posting his frequent racist spew to roff I don't have
to do any looking at all. All I have to do is read roff. And I
have a very satisfying life, thank you.

Now go lift some virtual weights so you can kick some virtual
ass while seated safely behind your keyboard. Asshole.

Ken, you have managed over the years to alienate just about everyone
that used to call you friend. Tom doesn't deserve your ire; he speaks
the truth. You go hunting for what you believe to be anti-pc material,
including racism. Your attack on RW years ago is a perfect example.
Now you attack on Tom Littleton? Un****inbelievable. You need help.
You say you have a very satisfying life. I doubt that. You're the one
on roff that everyone loves to hate. Wolfgang can't hold a candle to
you.

Ever since I have been on ROFF there is a heavy undertone of nasty ****!
I do not believe that I am in any way the cause of that
although at time I have been caught up in it
If you look at the posts from some of the more active posters and people you
will find , and unbelevably so
an underlying sarcastic, baseless and classless attitude.
Where does this come from???

It has been intimated that many of the early and regular members left for
some of the aforementioned reasons

We are all here for mainly one reason or 2 - our love of the outdoors and
fly fishing
I guess that that alone - is not enough ???

short on reading comprehension as well, I see. I was commenting on the fact
that you, the defender of the free world regarding 'racism', freely call
people who merely express a different opinion "asshole". Talk about Usenet
tough guys, you wouldn't have the balls to even come close to doing that in
person.

If calling virtual acquaintences pricks and assholes is your idea of
satisfying, go for it. Perhaps you need a fishing trip......try not to be an
idiot and leave the wallet on the car roof next time.
Now go lift some virtual weights so you can kick some virtual
ass while seated safely behind your keyboard. Asshole.

I'll stand by my words. You're all talk and no balls. And frankly, your
trivializing of racism irks me.

I'm leaving for Alaska on Tuesday -- floating the Kisaralik with Willi
and Bruiser -- big rainbows on mice, sculpins, leeches and eggs --
lots of char and grayling -- possibly kings and silvers and chums and
sockeye and even pinks -- and even a few pike on the lower stretch. A
couple of class III rapids and two waterfalls to portage. Brown bears
all over the freaking river.

I hope you guys have the racism thing all worked out when I get back.

Apropos of nothing, my girlfriend saw and photographed a wolverine on
the west side of the Tetons a few days ago, which I think is pretty
far out.

Yeah, good for you. You want to back away from that whole Tommy
the Terrible knocking out ****loads of teeth thing as quickly
as you can.

I would be more than happy to say anything I've ever posted here
directly to your face. We've never met, but you might want to
consult with those who have met the both of us before you get
too damn stupid on Usenet.

I'll stand by my words. You're all talk and no balls. And frankly, your

Your trivializing of racism irks me too. And you should consider
your words carefully before you promise to knock out ****loads
of teeth.

Well, don't let his ass overload you mouth...or your ass overload his mouth, as
the case may be...

as you can.

What are you pussies, twelve, thirteen....I've met you both, I like you both,
and frankly, if I were somehow inextricably taken of such a mood, I could kick
either or both of your asses over your shoulders back around to your kneecaps
and not break a sweat in the process...and yippee for me - who gives a flying
**** about such horse****? IAC, I cannot imagine why two (alleged) grownups
would even post such nonsense, but hey, that's why there is chocolate....well,
you know...

I'll stand by my words. You're all talk and no balls. And frankly, your

Well, ****, girls, meet in the middle and tee it up, mono a mono, er, mano a
mano...

Oh, you silly diablillo...do either of you geriatric types actually still have a
"****load" of teeth...well, besides store-bought, anyhow....

HTH,

enjoy, RW, enjoy. And, give my best to Willi(and Bruiser for that matter,
but we've never met).

I hope you guys have the racism thing all worked out when I get back.

something tells me that Ken never will get worked out the fact that decrying
racism and calling other folks assholes and pricks sort of results in a
diluted message.

Apropos of nothing, my girlfriend saw and photographed a wolverine on

indeed.

Oh, and you think you know tough guys........? We can swap notes, one of

Oh, and they ain't pretty, but they ARE still all my original

That's a somewhat different point than that whole ****loads
of teeth thing you were woofing about, isn't it ? You must be
a sniveling, cowardly, pathetic excuse of a man to issue threats
of violence on Usenet. I'll stand by that.
