I am sorry, Auth. I did not mean to label you as an initiator. I only placed that there as it was the closest post near the top at the time, to throw a wrench in the spoke of the mountain bikes blazing down Pike's Peak. : ) It was an avatar's view of the most recent posts, without thought of the past, and as you know, there is perception building taking place, people claiming username's reputations are at stake, group building, etc., of others and I clearly see your point of view being asserted as commendable behavior. I know Ravi is joking. Truly joking and playing with mindsets to level the playing field of intelligence to spark creative return. He really has not much ego and that is a fictitous display on FFL. If anyone gets offended by him, that is in their own heads. I also know the MaskedZebra does the same and in actuality I can see Barry is also a foot stomping funny at this also. Curtis, too, has some funnies, but maybe as a musician, they are sensitive, ya know.
You know, Judy, these are all dudes. Dudes have some funny ways of puffing their feathers, sometimes. ; ) --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], obbajeeba <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxbrL0e_5Hc : ) > > Not funny, obba. > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "Susan" <wayback71@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "futur.musik" <futur.musik@> > > > > wrote: > > > <snip> > > > > > As for anything said about Curtis, he isn't shy about his > > > > > opinions and can take care of himself I am sure.
