    Seems everyone is tired of that useless loser Dolan.
    Anyone posting as much nonsense as he does has some kind of problem.

    Everything is always [censored] for tat with me. Say something intelligent and
    civil you will most likely get that back. Say something stupid and rude, and
    you will most assuredly get that back.

    But what does Fab have to say for himself. We surely do not want him back
    here baiting all the Freds about how fast he is and how slow they are. That
    very quickly got tiresome in the extreme. Fab was a one note Johnny who was
    only able to amuse idiots. Even Mr. Sherman got tired of him.

    Folks, Bent-ass is a Monkey Islander. As such he is strictly into
    salaciousness. That is their idea of wit and humor. You may judge for
    yourself since you have an example of it before you above.

    I am often at my wit's end to know how to respond to such scofflaws. I am
    always thinking if I go for the jugular, what will Mr. Sherman think of me.
    Yes, I care what he thinks of me because I know him to be intelligent and
    fair minded. I will often pull my punches because of him.

    It is easy to get low down and dirty. It is what we men do best. We can all
    do it, but that does that mean we should do it. I have noted that Mr.
    Sherman does not do it ever. As I have modeled myself after Mr. Sherman from
    day one as to the form of my posts, I believe I will stick with him on this.
    However, I am sorely tempted to go ballistic which only I know how to do
    best.

    And so I will let it go with this:

    F*** you too, Bent-ass!

    Ed,

    This is simply not true. I have tried many times to have a civil
    conversation with you only to have you reply to me with rudeness and
    insults. I've even had conversations with you where I implored you to remain
    civil but you persisted in being rude.

    It seems you don't know how to disagree without being disagreeable.

    I wouldn't call you stupid because you are clearly quite intelligent but you
    do seem to feel that civility is unnecessary or at least optional.

    You and I (and others) could have some quite interesting conversations if
    you would actually be willing to be civil and engage the topic being
    discussed.

    You remind me of Wayne's replacement, explanation to follow.

    Back in the days of BBS's there was a BBS with an active philosophy
    discussion run by someone named Wayne who was pretty high up in the Hare
    Krishna organization. He was always willing to engage any topic and when it
    came down to a matter of belief he would simply say, "This is what I
    believe". A broad spectrum of opinion was tolerated and encouraged.

    When Wayne was promoted (or whatever happens to people in that
    organization), his replacement was not so interested in a lively discussion.
    Just as discussions were getting going he would post a message that said
    "The Veda's say xxxxx" and then he would terminate the discussion and not
    allow any more posting. Needless to say that board became very unpopular
    very quickly.

    You remind me of this person. You do not seem to be secure enough in your
    beliefs to engage with those who differ. All you do is repeat your opinion
    and remind us that anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

    Then later on, you lie about what you have done with postings like the one I
    have quoted above.

    You are simply getting back what you put out, Ed. Have you noticed that
    other than yourself, nobody has bothered to insult me? Being the whacked
    out, far left, liberal that I am I sure there are lots of people who
    disagree, but I'm not disagreeable.

    Please feel free to be yourself but don't try to claim to be someone you are
    not. You do not behave civilly. It isn't anywhere near important to you to
    treat people with respect and dignity. I'm sure you've even said so
    yourself. If you had the slightest interest in being civil I wouldn't be
    writing this message.

    Happy Trails Ed,

    Jeff

    Ed,

    At least you are now properly bottom posting but you still need always to
    attribute who is saying what. I have supplied the missing "Edward Dolan

    If you or anyone else says anything too stupid for words, then of course I
    will provide the words in excelsis. Yes, be civil and intelligent, but when
    you cease to be intelligent, then you will reap the whirlwind. I simply will
    not suffer idiots anymore. I am too old to play games with kids who have
    only half-ass notions of things.

    There are parameters which are in place. When you exceed those parameters,
    then you will get what you have coming to you. Mr. Sherman learned this the
    hard way and I am here to teach all other miscreants the same hard lesson as
    needs be.

    Quoted message said:

    Civility is a horror when certain bounds are exceeded. There is simply no
    question of my intelligence. It is really quite laughable that you would
    even bring the subject up.

    Very many opinions are simply unacceptable. I will of course dictate which
    are and which aren't.

    Yes, that is my karma and I am doomed to be eternally at its beck and call.
    I know what I know and anyone who disagrees with me is ipso facto an idiot.
    This is all crystal clear to me.

    Where the hell did you ever get the idea that everything under the sun needs
    to be heard? Mr. Sherman has expressed from time to time some ideas which
    are beyond the pale. I will not engage anyone in conversation when they go
    off the rails like he does. Instead, I will weigh in with anger and
    invective. At least it will let the idiot in question know that not everyone
    agrees with him.

    Nope, I never lie about anything. I am the ultimate truth teller in the
    entire universe. Of course, what is true in one context may or may not be
    true in another context. Context is everything you know.

    Jeff, no one will bother with you except me because you are impossibly dull

    group would die from boredom.

    No one as intelligent as Mr. Sherman could possibly find Fab entertaining.
    After all, Fab is an idiot. I suspect Mr. Sherman has other agendas here

  11. Are you saying that if you are a "fan" of George Bush then you are not
    welcome here at ARBR. For the record, I am NOT a fan (for different
    reasons than Michael Moore and Gerry Clooney) but if I were, would that
    keep me from being welcome to participate in this newsgroup?

    Jim please, give Earl (lowbike) a fighting chance and ask your question in multiple choice.
    You should be able to participate here regardless of your political viewpoints, but I've heard it's not good to top post. Proper editing can't hurt either. Whatever you do, try not to use the word "pennis".

  13. In groups.google.com, I click on the "Reply" link to add a posting.
    Clearly, the result of this action produces a "top post". By "top
    post" I am guessing you mean that the original posting is not copied
    before the response. As for my failure to apply "proper editing", it's
    good to know the edit police are there to catch my shortcomings in this
    area. Finally, I am glad that we agree that ARBR contributors need not
    pass a politcal litmus test before they post their opinions.

    My job here is not to be the edit police. If I were the authority in this matter I would issue a warrant for poor editing in the first degree to the poet of ARBR and have him taken into custody. Doesn't fair play require that the complete text that is being replied to be included?
    Better not count on me being able to catch all your shortcomings here as I plan on spending more time on my bikes as the weather improves.

    You're right. I responded to the wrong message, not as I had

    Ed responded to his own comments causing a bit of recursion. It
