And GG, you old trickster, if your "baited-breath" remark was intentional it probably belongs in the Fish Jokes thread. Just look for a BS prefix. Frankie |

A pertinent quote from Rabbi Lionel Blue: "In most rows you are arguing with part of your own self. It is your own doubts you are suppressing. Unless you make up, you may hurt others, but you will certainly maim yourself as well."

13 Dec 99 - 01:25 PM (#148831) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - Dec. 11th From: The Gargoyle Hunter I am quite honestly very sorry to offend any of the gentle folk. I understand that your mothers always told you to ignore "them" and "they" will go away. However, sometimes "they" don't, forcing you to give "them" their just desserts. Yes. I am very sorry. |

13 Dec 99 - 02:22 PM (#148845) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - Dec. 11th From: Jeri GGH, the problem is, he isn't going away whatever you do. There's a way to minimize the damage, and there's a way to make it worse. By the way, I understand your motives. I'm not offended or mad - I've just been tried the same approach before and am offering an opinion based on who I felt I was turning into when I wrote like that, and what effect it had. Made things worse. (Jeri, who promises to now shut up on the subject.) |
13 Dec 99 - 05:04 PM (#148915) Subject: RE: Thought for the day - Dec. 11th From: bseed(charleskratz) Garg Hunter, Jeri is of course right--I usually try to avoid responding to him, but every now and then I give in to the urge--and rarely feel any better for having done so. Why don't you reset your cookie to something that will be more descriptive of yourself, and join in the fun (nothing bugs the G more than seeing people having fun). --seed |
