I may no bones about my personality ….. except when some fool actually thinks they know me.

Now I shall exit, while the flames are only lapping at my ankles and tickling my toes.

I hope you’re right JAT, because I’m going to get a bigger yacht. The current Herald yacht is positively cramped when the helicopter and the Cigarette are secured on the deck.

And quite frankly I can and will tell anyone that acts in a reprehensible manner to respond civily or not at all no matter who they are.

I do not put up with it offline and I will not put up with it online.

As for this:

“JAT just for your information, Uri, no matter how inflamatory definitely doesn’t seem to hide behind his keyboard you can find his RL name plastered on several places on this site.”

Personal information in no way enters into the equation when someone is hiding behind a screen and keyboard. If they will not act in such a way when around unknown persons or those whom they respect or know can cause them harm, or any other reasoning, then they are hiding when they do so online.

There are a great many people I have run into online that could do with a good dose of reality – I simply hope I am there to see it when someone decides to pound one of these arrogant and ruse types into the ground …. or when they decide to simply put them in the ground for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.

I will shake my head in sheer amazment at the foolishness of the lucky lesson learner and then walk away to let them learn said lesson the hard way.

I have no synpathy for these types …. they deserve what they eventually get.

I love how JAT believes that she can tell Uri how to act and interact on a blog/paper/thing-a-ma-jig he founded.

JAT just for your information, Uri, no matter how inflamatory definitely doesn’t seem to hide behind his keyboard you can find his RL name plastered on several places on this site.

However that reads to me as “Always marginally Insane” or “Never socially Acceptable”.

But then … I don’t truly expect much of people on the internet these days – just a civil discourse. Is that so much to ask?

As to your assumtions: There’s an old adage about making an assumption …. try finding it. You’d be surprised at how silly a thought you’ve had there really was.

Uri: Just a thought: Drop it. Just a Thought just didn’t get it. It was clear that he didn’t. Everybody knew it, except maybe Just. When he did realize it, he was probably a little embarassed and tried to give himself a face-saving way out (“oh you should tag your posts sarcastic”). The appropriate response to that is “feh.” Nothing else, just “feh”, and move on–keep up the good work.

Not that this dialogue hasn’t been enjoyable, mind you…

funny part of it is, I employ many of the same tactis these types use against others – my philosophy on it is this: Hit them with what they use on everyone else. Let them see what it is like to deal with their sort and see how they like it.

The sad part of that is that I do run into those that will never get the hint until they aim their ineptitudes at the wrong person and end up seriously hurt. Thankfully I’ve only ever had to deal with one person like that offline (lives in my hometown actually) and it really wasn’t a pretty picture.

Of course, if I had my way these poster children for forced brith control, mandatory sterlization, and any number of other things to reduce their population … well they wouldn’t exist.

Back to the backlog I go …. so far nothing amusing … though I have added a comment in one of the topics – did that a few days ago actually.
