Jim, I've had you on ignore for a while now, as I was asked to neither post to or about you. But someone just pointed out your post to me and I'm going to respond before I put you back on ignore. I think you're a very bright man. I also think you enjoy being cruel and you've been egged on here when you do so. I just read this part of your post and I don't know if there is a reasonable or rational response that can be given to this statement. "the ultimate irony is that your brand of judgmental highbrow behavior would make you far far far more prone to become a victim of wife battering" I would be curious to see how many of your supporters (from Private Messages) will publicly support you in this statement. Our disagreements are deep, longstanding, and far too public. I'm asking you now to show some decency and put me on ignore as I have you. I think this would be better for everyone.

<<Poet, try posting half as much, saying twice as much the ultimate irony is that your brand of judgmental highbrow behavior would make you far far far more prone to become a victim of wife battering >> From your previous posts: "might have been insolence, disrespect, sarcasm, negativity behave or else I am on showering golden on you also just be constructive, like me, use me as role model" / JW #13233 "ccentric geniuses are always given more latitude Einstein wiped his nose on his sleeve Von Braun farted at meetings John Tukey bitches out professors all the time (Princeton premier Statistician) / JW #13246 JW, You're quite the hypocrite aren't you. You and V. may be able to wipe your nose, fart, and bitch at all those who do not follow your dogmatic views. But Geniuses - Please - Gag me with a spoon. You are just a couple of arrogant old windbags who can laugh at everyone else but themselves. Posted in the same spirit and respect with which you post to others. I can see why Poet has you on ignore. You at least owe her an apology. She is one of the more decent posters on this thread. Steve 667 Neighbor and Advocate of the Beast

Try posting nothing at all and then perhaps people will begin to appreciate your genius. JW I've had it. The wife-beating/slap her around jokes have sent me over the edge. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself. I thought that this should be a PM but then on reflection also realized that complaining in public has its merits -- something I'm sure you've appreciated recently. I remember finding it difficult, dealing with your phone calls at more or less all hours of the night, back when you and Poet were friends. I also remember finding it difficult when I learned how you were coming on to her. I can't help but wonder whether this relatively recent animosity has its source not so much in differences of opinion or temperament, but unrequited love. At this point, after having read your posts, it is likewise difficult not to believe, being Poet's husband, that you're just interested in pissing her off and hurting her. You've succeeded. You can stop now. There is so much that you don't know. "You never held a full-time job in your life" "You didn't earn your own seed money." I quote you here referring to Poet in one of your posts, paraphrasing. But I've got it right. You have no idea how ignorant you are, which I would find laughable if I weren't so pissed off. As I recall, she was always kind to you, regardless of how touchy the circumstances, personal or not. And that's the thing -- her greatest weakness is her genuine concern for others. You can sometimes be put off, finding someone self-righteous and judgmental, until you discover that they have no hidden agendas -- that they really mean it -- voicing their ideas and opinions with no ax to grind. I've made this mistake on occasion and now you (among others) should be equally chagrinned at the fact that your dealing with a person that genuinely gives a flying mmph about the fate of her friends. To this you respond with 'beat her up' comments. I'm a fairly burly carpenter, 25 years in the business. I'm not an achingly earnest human being. Nevertheless,comments about slapping women around are about as funny as an invitation I might make to my Jewish friends to come on over and check out my new oven. Find that funny? Pick on somebody else who cares. I care.
