Get a grip girl......saying that "do I drink alcohol (well yes I do)" -
does not indicate that someone is a drunkard however much you want to
twist things......it means that I drink the odd glass of wine or beer on
occassions....the only person who would twist this to make it evil is
someone who has had a bad experience with someone with an alcohol abuse
problem or someone wishing to score points and bad mouth someone....and
I am not into demeaning or belittling those that have this experience or
problem....in fact they have my sincere sympathy - using such an
affliction to score points in some sort of fantasy game is wrong and
bad......you may not drink but you have just condemned thousands of
others that do in moderation with your silly point scoring.....and you
have insulted all of those that do have a problem by belittling the
trauma that they are going through just to score points.....but I'm sure
this goes right over your head so I don't even know why I am bothering.....

As for muppet being an insult....I rather thought they were cute puppets
with attitude....if you think it is anything more then take up your
gripes with Henson......but I guess we all see it as we read it.....and
sometimes we read it wrong.....but I cannot dare say this as it suggests
bias and an attack....

Before we go any further I received an email explaining why you and Tynk are
harassing me and nit-picking my every message. It wont work Gill. You're
becoming a troll like the others.

...it means that I drink the odd glass of wine or beer on

Like you're doing to me today? It wont work Gill. I've been on Usenet for
years and have seen it all.

and
I am not into demeaning or belittling those that have this experience or
problem....in fact they have my sincere sympathy - using such an
affliction to score points in some sort of fantasy game is wrong and
bad......

Then why are YOU using it? Why not stop the crap now that a moderated
group is only a week away? Stop the GAME playing. We're all weary of it.

you may not drink but you have just condemned thousands of
others that do in moderation with your silly point scoring....

Why are YOU trying to score points? What do you have to gain? The email
made it quite clear what your plan is actually.

..and you
have insulted all of those that do have a problem by belittling the trauma
that they are going through just to score points.....

Then why are you trying to score points? If you have a problem you get
professional HELP. No one in Usenet can help those with either alcohol, drug
or mental/emotional problems.

but I'm sure
this goes right over your head so I don't even know why I am
bothering.....

It doesn't go over my head. I don't want to be the victim of those posters
suffering from these problems. There is treatment out there. I was here to
post about ponds and fish. I'm on ARJW to get as many out as possible.
That's no one's business but my own as I'm sure you will agree.

As for muppet being an insult....I rather thought they were cute puppets
with attitude....

Excuse me.... not where I live. It's an insult.

if you think it is anything more then take up your
gripes with Henson......but I guess we all see it as we read it.....and
sometimes we read it wrong.....but I cannot dare say this as it suggests
bias and an attack....

It was a humorous response to a thinly veiled comedic reference known to
most people of a certain age. Unless they have had their sense of humor
surgically removed.

I fart in your general direction, you silly person!

Most people are not *all* people. An intelligent person would know this.

Unless they have had their sense of humor
surgically removed.

How much did it cost you Gary?

I fart in your general direction, you silly person!

People of low degree who lack breeding such as yourself do fart at people.
But that's to be expected of them..... fart away!

Oh, NOW we see the violence inherent in the system!

Apparently any rather sharp humour will be met with an ad hominem attack on
one's breeding and social status. I learnt long ago that people who are
hung up on such things aren't my cuppa.

But then, I like Mel Brooks movies.

I guess there's a pathology here that I'm not qualified to understand, so
in keeping with my basic rule "Do what you will, but harm none," I'll bow
out. My previous prediction of raging pointless mudslinging (I used the
more polite word, see?) continuing in rec.ponds, fed by the usual suspects,
stands.

Blessed be,

You're the one talking about forting *AT* people.... how violent can you
get? LOL!!! :-D

Nor are adults who use childish toilet humor my cuppa.

There's definitely pathology when adults use childish toilet humor such as
farting *AT* people.

so

out. My previous prediction of raging pointless mudslinging (I used the

You slung some yourself there Gary. Like the guy on news.groups said, you
all crapped in your own back yards then looked for a way out of the stink -
a moderated group. You joined right in with your silly "fart" post. I
don't know why you thought an adult would find something that side ripping
humorous..... maybe a kindergartner would.


Blessed be,


Blessed be to you too! We need peacemakers on this group - not
farters......... ;-)

It never ceases to amaze me how well travelled the Python stuff is and
how it has a tendency to crop into conversation from time to time when
you least expect it - bit like the Spanish Inquisition I guess - lol
I remember emailing an American colleague once with a technical question
only to get the response "Are you talking about European or African
Swallows?" - and I had a Catalan colleague who would always insist that
I built him a shrubbery with a white picket fence around it before he
would speak to me....

Been busy today as I had to return my Norwegian Blue - small matter of
nails and daisies....

Great to make contact with another Pythonesque..... :-)

This I assume is related to the "fart" humor. I didn't see the movie so

Well Mr Sixsmith it is obvious to me that your mother was a hamster and
your father smelt of elderberries......

Just one thing to check - is this a five minute arguement or the full
half hour?

Now I own that rabbit - well at least judging by the scars on my hands

(he is now 6 - but in his youth we always reckoned he had watched way
too much Python)
