Man it's just incredible the degree of unnecessary hate. I don't
know exactly what you two are talking about, but I know I'm involved.
I just want you to know that I am an open book. Brooklyn1 said that
recently. But I am more open than anyone I know. I have nothing to
hide. I do not lie. If I say something is true, it's true. I write
some wild crap just for laughs, and I think it's obvious when I do
it. I do not like being categorized as a phony when I am very open
and have posted my full name and even my address and phone number in
the few newsgroups I've visited. I have nothing to hide. It galls me
to think that people think wrongly of me. It galls me even more to
think that maybe they do it even when they know their thoughts are
false. That is sickening.

And Sheldon has put a face on his toast as he cooked it. Then there was the
meal prepared by Amy Farrah Fowler for Sheldon with pink milk and pasta
shapes. And then there are Sehldon's Mum's meals full of fat and designed
to have a man die fat at 50 but witha smile on his face. Even the food is
funny IMO.

Heh! Okay, truth be told I thought you were "one of them" in the
other group... but you're a really great poster (IMO) over here. I
see that you and O have bad blood between you here, but I didn't see
it over there. Maybe you two can clear it up here, maybe not. I see
someone I have killed in both groups as being the cause of it all. It
may not be true, but that's my perspective.

Maybe it's selfish, but I really don't give it a lot of thought.
I'm pretty diplomatic in real life. But in a newsgroup or in the
company of friends I can let it fly. I figure if people can't
separate the real from the fake, especially when it's obvious, which
it usually is in my opinion, then it's no loss to me. I would prefer
they recognize the difference between being serious and being funny.
But if they can't, there is nothing I can do about it. So yes, I have
considered your question - but overall I don't think that it matters
much, it's not like a life and death type situation and no one is
going to get hurt. No harm, no foul.

Cliche

Well my preference when reading is to read people who are not prone to

His version of "leg pulling" is just plain lying, IMO, and that whine
about how little money he has to survive on is just another one of
them.

I very rarely make comments about a nickname unless that person has been
rude to me.

My nick has been trashed by one person here, so given that, I think I might
be permitted to return the compliment.

Farm! Now, what do we find on a farm. Animals. Dumb, stupid animals with
no sense of common courtesy or manners. What do they produce most of?
Shit! And plenty of it. I have to say it does fit the poster extremely
well.

Keep producing your nasty and vicious shit Farm. It defines you.

I have a picture of little me being held by my grandfather
and wearing his hat. I wish I had that hat now. I like the
style and it would be extra special that it was his. He died
many years ago at age 97.

http://i46.tinypic.com/xm1zxd.jpg

OB food: Here's a pic of him sitting at a dinner table. My grandmother was
a fantastic cook and cooked a giant feast every dinner. There were always
many people at their house. This picture only shows about 1/3 of the table
and dishes on it. All of the vegetables were homegrown each year and meat
was either home raised chickens or game that my grandfather hunted for.

PS - WTH does OB stand for. I know what it means but have always wondered
what it actually stand for.

I see you are trying to blame shift yet again.

Not only that, but you are going to try using the blame shifting to excuse
your foul mouthed and abusive comments towards me.

I have said nothing about YOUR choice of the name YOU choose to be known by
online.

Any connection you choose to make between my involvement in a discussion of
the entirely inappropriate names given to children by their parents is all
your own doing. AND it's just an excuse on your part for your further bad
behaviour.

Did you bother to read your abusive and foul mouthed post and wonder what is
says about you?

This started because you would not take notice of what a number of people
told you. Reread the thread.

Jill told you that neeps were rutabagas. She also clarified and confirmed
that although she didn't mention how they were prepared, it was notbob who
had suggesting mashing them together.

Jill was just one of the people who tried to set you straight and you took
no notice. In total, 6 people told you that 'neeps and tatties' being
mashed TOGETHER had been mentioned.

Your attempt at blame shifting to Janet about the neeps and tatties was bad
enough but now you are doing the same about a thread that involved parents
giving kids lousy names and I'm being blamed for your paranoia. Gutter
mouth.

Hey Brian. Is it grapeseed oil that you approve of? I've read all of your
posts but don't rememeber the oils that you've found to be healthy. One
website I looked at yesterday said to use grapeseed oil for heart healthy
frying (for making falafels)

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.

I have always found Ophelia to be a pleasant, reasoned and soft-spoken
participant. If you two have issues elsewhere, I wish that you would
leave them there. We have enough crap going on here without adding
more.
Have a happy holiday.

That's why I'm a staunch advocate of killfiles :-)

Farm Girl and Opie are at loggerheads???
I think Opie (being a Pom) just has a problem with us "colonials". But
then, that's racism, isn't it?

Possibly due to health problems, illness or the illness of a loved one.
Those of us who have been on this newsgroup for more than a decade
were probably not youngsters when we found it. We aren't getting any
younger.
