Well, I think someone who has it, should send me a check for a million dollars. Make that two million.
Why do some here act as if they are members of congress, finalizing legislation? Good luck with that Share, unless you are willing to issue the warning, track those on probation, and determine when they have violated same, all with Rick and Alex's blessing. ---In [email protected], <sharelong60@...> wrote : feste, I agree with all you say here. Or at least, make their banishment temporary, say for one week. I think people should be given a warning and probationary time before being banned completely.

But also, I think Dan should drop his ridiculous complaint to the ADL, which has no substance and is a waste of their time. I suggest that if anyone wants the best commentary on this incident he or she should read the posts of Richard J. Williams, since every one of them is spot-on in its analysis. ---In [email protected], <fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : Dan obviously enjoyed his righteous indignation, but it gave him a blind spot you could fly a 747 through. His grammar and writing, in general, was atrocious, which always sends up a flag, for me, since I doubt very much he was that sloppy with his superiors, during his career. Same as people who, despite being punctual for work, cannot show up on time, socially. An arrogant attitude, masking as casualness. Pretty average fellow, overall, despite his need to have us think otherwise. All the best to him. ---In [email protected], <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In [email protected], <sharelong60@...> wrote : Ann, there are several people here whose dislike I am very happy to have. I would worry if they were to like me. Yes, I can relate, I have my own personal top charters whose affection towards me would positively alarm me. I have not defended turq in quite some time. Nor do I engage in "mob mentality" wrt him. But you react in knee jerk fashion to almost every post of his. Not knee jerk. I think carefully about how I respond and I certainly could respond to more of his posts than I do. Why do you describe it as "knee jerk"? He might be a jerk and I do possess a couple of knees but that's about as far as the accuracy of your statement goes. As for your being straight up, now it's my turn to giggle. Right before he was booted off, you and Dan were joshing back and forth. And yet you now say nothing positive about him. I certainly can say lots of things "positive" about him. Wanna hear? I'll assume you said "yes". Dan loves women, all sorts of women - sisters, mothers, wives, daughters. He doesn't appear in the least misogynistic. Dan is smart. Very, very smart. And I mean this in a positive way. Dan is loyal. He would defend his family and TM to the end. Dan is a cosmopolitan kind of guy. I told him that I admired him because he lives in one of the coolest cities in the world and it hasn't eaten him alive. Is this okay with you? I have another perception of Dan that includes some not-so-glowing attributes. But what do I know? This is the internet. One thing I would say is that I understand why Rick did what he did once he saw Dan's last post to him. BTW, what did you think of Dan's post to Mac about his wife and the game shows, the one where Mac asked him who had pissed in his Cheerios? As I said to you some time ago, I think you could do quite well as a politician. Did you realize you are for more deferential to the males than the females on this forum? Of course, we are the only two left here. On Saturday, October 4, 2014 8:42 PM, "awoelflebater@...

You back peddled and said "Oh uh, maybe courteous wasn't the right choice of words" But you just can't let go of the idea of me being a low person no matter what Danny Boy said or did, eh? Is it part of your TM induced glow in your brain that leads you to believe that attacking a TM basher is actually a courteous thing and that's why you are doing it now? Ahh, TMSP leads to such WONDERFUL behavior. I think you might be barking up the wrong, but usual, tree here MJ. First, not for one moment did Dan's discourse with you ever seem courteous and he had a good time playing with most of us here, sometimes smiling on the outside but not necessarily on the inside. But the point is, is that Share is not responding the way she is because of TM or the fact that TM induces some sort of "glow". Share is Share, MJ. She doesn't like to get into kerfuffles with others unless she feels that enough others are ready to back her up. She is careful to court favor, in her innocuous way, with the guys here and fair enough. I don't blame her but this leads to her unwillingness to see beyond a "friendly" pat on the back or superficial endorsement of what she writes for what it is - internet trolling or camouflaged ill will. She defends bawee and she is defending Dan and that is her MO; she wants to be liked by all, and is unwilling to look past the facade that some present here at FFL. Again, I can understand this - it is not the way I operate but it probably leads to less confrontation than I get in my life for being straight up. This is not a condemnation of Share, it is simply my take on things YMMV.
