With regards to the subject matter, I found absolutely no need to comment. Griz clarified things fine, and unlike you, did so admirably, without feeling the need to personally attack anyone.
I've been teaching here for slightly over 2 years, and as such don't consider myself an "old" China hand. At no time have I bragged about having "old school wisdom". Show me where I've ever made that claim mouth?
As my post count would indicate, I tend to listen and learn. I have on occasion offered my opinion and advice concerning subject matter I have an opinion about, or feel qualified enough to comment on.
Unlike you I haven't yet been burnt, nor have I yet had to come looking for help. Unlike you I haven't yet ever posted whining because people weren't nice enough to me. Unlike you I haven't now become so like those that you whined about.
The one thing you got right in your last post is the comment that I don't like you. Your spot on there hoss.
One last thing, don't ever again assume that just because I don't like you and think your an idiot, that I don't read your posts. If I ever feel you post subject matter worthy of commentary I wont wait for permission from you to engage. OK?
When you sidetracked your own thread by going after Gregor I simply followed your lead. I took your tone, now stop whining about it.

Then your no better then me, and you should stop whining about it.
As for clarifiying better then me, lol, no one does that I clarified just fine in my previous post
Anyhow distant, I don't like you either, so what. I don't find anything laudable in not posting much, seems rather cowardly to me. Certainly not doing so does not in the least make you a good listener, this is not a verbal forum, but a typed one, you do know this difference. The speaking of ones voice blocking out hearing others is not posible here. reading or not reading has zip to do with how many times you post.
This is a waste of time, your simply in a pissing contest with me, doing what you accuse me of doing, looking for an excuse to vent it seems. If you don't like what I post, why respond. If you don't wish to speak to me, then don't Who made you the resident paladin, and where are you when others are attacked. Of course your champion attitude is rather selective. Grow up, your just acting on your own feelings, not trying to defend anyone else, thats just an excuse.
Folks like you and gregor ruin threads. Even he admitted he was mistaken, and he clealry did not read the original OP well, duh. If I do that, I'll be attacked like no ones business, and you know it. As was he. Who would attack me, why you of course, and others of your tollish ilk, so spare us all the nonsense.
I find it hard to believe that you don't find something so important as pay here and how it is measured a worthy post. My post was oth well thought out and commented up in follow ups, it's not my fault you only contribute when an oppurtunity to bash someone comes about kiddo. And please, feel free not to respond if you really wish peeps to think your a bigger man
I fear I have given you too much of what you already wanted, attention. |

Nathan, the fact is if you hadn't attacked Gregor like you were the big badassed, all knowing resident ESL stud (which most of us know for a fact your not) I would have never commented.
I and some others (judging from some of the other follow-up comments) are simply sick of your friggin mouth.
We remember a time not so long ago when you were running around the room screaming for help and crying like a little girl when you thought others weren't nice enough to you.
Should I care what you find laudable? Or cowardly for that matter (Because I choose to listen rather than speak? How stupid of a comment is that? But then why should I expect anything more from you?)
As far as my feelings toward you go? They have culminated over the brief time you have been here.
Gregor did nothing to ruin the thread as you claim. In fact I would say he furthered it. Someone who I actually find credible came in with some clarification and helped Gregor over the hump. Then you proceeded to come in a few posts later and blast him. As I stated earlier and you now admit to, you have become the person you whined about and so despised when you first graced us with your presence.
What you need to hope for now is that I don't decide to get up a head of steam and make you my personal project. It's obvious I'm in another friggin league and I'll kick your A** at every turn should I decide to. Your simply a white monkey in serious need of a bit of training.
Now I'm off to take my girl out for a nice Valentines Day supper and night on the town. Hope the rest of you enjoy your evening as much as I plan to.

Gentlemen take your pistols stand back to back take twenty steps turn and fire . What is funny is that this duel does not even involve the honor of a woman . |
