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.

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.

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.

And yet Ann busted you when she said that in fact Dan had not been
"courteous" to me at all. 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.
