Ann, my posts might not currently be up to Bob's level, but imo they're well
above your sly put downs and demeaning nicknames. I say currently because again
imo I had a pretty good run of those kind of philosophical exchanges with RWC.
It's a buffet here at FFL and I enjoy the variety. Now, quoting you to
yourself, why don't you see if you can transcend YOUR prejudices yada yada...
Oh, you forgot to mention Judy, she was part of that conversation too...
Ann had written to feste: Can you possibly assert that wishing people a happy
new year and thanking them for posting about quinoa salads is more rewarding?
See if you can transcend your prejudices and start fresh with every new post
that appears here so that you might actually learn and gain something.

I don't think your little put-downs have any credibility on this forum, auth.
People know who you are and what you do. You are just making an exhibition of
your own obsessions and weirdness.
But you are giving her "credibility" Feste, because you keep responding like
this. Judy is a force of nature just like Barry is an aberration. You let her
bother you and you seem so very powerless to make a difference. Are you more
powerful in your "real" life - in the life you lead where you walk and talk and
pick up things and feel gravity? Did you see that "conversation" about music
and art and religion/non-religion between Bob and Judy? Can you not appreciate
and respect that kind of intelligence, Feste? I mean, that was really worth
reading and the kind of clever brain power and just the weight of having lived
a life was behind what they were postulating and working out in that
conversation and it was very, very fun to see. Can you possibly assert that
wishing people a happy new year and thanking them for posting about quinoa
salads is more rewarding? See if you can transcend your prejudices and start
fresh with every new post that appears here so that you might actually learn
and gain something.

From five to seven? No, it doesn't take me very long, actually.
OK, I've proved to my own satisfaction that you don't have the integrity to
acknowledge having been wrong, even about something as trivial as this. Always
disappointing, but in your case, I'm afraid, not at all surprising.
Feste struggled:
<< You are so silly, auth. Do you spend your entire life counting?
I rest my case on my previous posts on this topic. >>
Which have been shown to be wrong. Case closed.

Pet Peeve Watch: I. Am. Not. A. Guest.
—By Kevin Drum Thu Dec. 19, 2013 11:53 AM GMT
"I. Am. Not. A. Guest. A guest is someone I invite into my home and ply with
free food and drink. Because, you know, they're my guest. Target doesn't do
that. They sell me stuff. I pay for it. (Probably with cash from now on.) I can
complain about poor service. I can return stuff I don't like. I can choose what
I want to buy and what I don't. That makes me a customer. Not. A. Guest."

As I believe I mentioned earlier, Drum is a widely read and highly respected
political blogger. Sorry, Feste, but if he is so insistent about using the
period-after-every-word convention for extra emphasis, it has to be considered
standard, at least for blogs. You may not like it, and that's fine, but you
can't pretend it's some bizarre anomaly (or that I made it up, as Barry
claimed).
