Well if you google it you'll understand why today's flamefest is
annoying at best compared to that flamefest masterpiece of years past.
There was always something new to fight about but you guys are
rehashing shit that's 6 years old.

Yes. When it involves a company in their jurisdiction I certainly
expect it as should the taxpayers of that state.

And when he did nothing happened to him which makes it even sillier for
some to claim they can harm him now that he doesn't offer monitoring.

Nobody is doing any kissing up. Robert has called me an asshole and I
have called him an asshole. How many more times should we exchange
those greetings before it becomes old? We've been at it for 8yrs and
exchanging insults has accomplished nothing.
Nothing has or will change. Does that mean I am fishing buddies with
him because we don't exchange insults? Which one of the fucksticks here
decided that for me?

See this is where you are wrong. His posts are always a target, and at
times rightfully so, but there are people who search for his posts just
to fight. Hell there are people, myself included, who tracked him to
other newsgroups. Now he's no saint by any means, and caused more than
his share of turmoil here, BUT is he really wrong on 100% of what he
says? Have you ever seen anyone agree with him that didn't have the
last name Campbell? Yes Robert Bass made his bed but how many here
check his sheets 10 times before they check their own?

Frank's been singing the same shit for years. So has Robert. It's like
I said, the material is OLD. The record is broken. How many times do we
need to read about 737's, BBB reports, credit checks, licensing board
hearings, and calls to suppliers?
Contrary to whatever they may post about their conquests I am certain
the cure for what ails both of them is a piece of tail (preferably not
each others but given their conversations one could mistaken them for
married).

Yes he's an expert at posting absurd accusations just like many of us
but it's easy to tell when he's posting bullshit and when he's posting
fact.

Now if the guy that emailed you was a guy who one of your employees was
annoying via the internet and late night drunk dials wouldn't you, as
the owner of the business, become concerned at how your company is
being viewed? Imagine finding out that one of your employees has a
psychological disorder and an issue with alcohol?
Don't bullshit me and tell me you'd retain them. You'd show him the
exit immediately.

Did you see me say it was mean spirited or did you see me say that
those who are bitching missed the boat? They had a chance, they did
nothing but sit on their ass, and now should shut the fuck up about it
because the opportunity is gone.
I agree that software shouldn't be distributed to Bill & Mary
Clodhopper but the manufacturers have been notified repeatedly and have
done nothing. I guess it's not as important to them as it is to us.

I'll make nice with whoever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want
wherever the fuck I want and if you or anyone else has an issue with
that they can kiss the rabbit between the ears. Does that clear things
up?
