Neil needs to report himself since he is posting multiple messages which are
nothing but copies. He is doing something I have never done. But that is the
way of scoundrels, knaves and cowards of which RBM has more than it fair
share.

Any reference to masturbation in any context whatever is unseemly and in
very bad taste. That is why I treat it the way I do. I will always throw it
back at you. Find a more gentlemanly tongue-in-cheek innuendo. It is best to
leave the sexual innuendoes to scum buckets like Ed Gin.

If it were a business where you have face to face encounters with real live
people, I can assure you I would not last 2 minutes. After the initial
period of much cussing and swearing for the audacity of anyone even daring
to darken my door, we would be into bloody murder and mayhem. No, you would
not want Ed Dolan anywhere near your business. What you have built up over a
lifetime I could easily destroy in a few hours.

Ed,

Actually, I'll be 60 come April 15th ... ried ... no kids (by

If this world with all is basically not fit for you to live, then do
the right thing. Take leave of it and ARBR in process. Both would be
better places without the likes of you.

There's no fool like and old fool and you fit the adage like a glove,

post did I admit to masturbation? You castigate others for the way
they write, but you can't even read. I was wrong about you being as

Did you know there is a Tim McNaa who posts quite regularly to RBM? I
thought for sure he must be your son.

No, there is a certain small percentage on these newsgroups who appreciate
me. Why should I abandon them to dullards like you.

Here is what you wrote in your previous message:

"I know how very much you abhor anything of a sexual nature especially
as it relates to you personally, but I just have to ask. Do you recall
how you were told that you shouldn't masturbate because it will make
you go blind? Well you didn't, did you? I mean you can still see.
Many ARBR members have requested that you take leave never to return,
but you have just not heard the message. It should be apparent that
masturbation doesn't make one blind. It makes one DEAF!!!"

Do not bring up the subject of masturbation if you do not want to be accused
of it. This is just so elementary. I have noted over and over again how many
posters to these newsgroups bring up the subject of masturbation when what I
am talking about is sexual morality. Even Wayne Leggett, the Poet of PooP,
does this sort of thing all the time. If and when you bring it up I will
throw it back in your face.

> I'll not be Tom Sherman's stand-in. You two deserve each other. I
> prefer to communicate with intelligent life forms.

I disagree with Tom Sherman on almost everything, but he handled you as I
would have. You must lose your monomania if you want to be taken seriously.
The group knows full well that everything I say is tongue in cheek. Only you
don't seem to know it. Very curious!

Ed,

All top posters are idiots??? Not that old mantra ... again. Sticks

Are you no more perceptive than the average tree stump? From your
response, I can only presume that you were unable or unwilling to
comprehend my message. Go back and reread it. I already addressed
your regurgitated objections, observations and stipulations. Unlike
you, I prefer not to engage in cyclical redundancy.

You still don't get it do you? You are inordinately intolerant of
dissension. You demand that I (and others) conform to proper form.
Your fundamental operative precept is play by my rules or I'll not play
(read take my ball and go home). Aren't you a bit long in the tooth to
be acting like an adolescent? Correct me if I'm wrong, but your name
is Dolan not Hoyle. Try as you may, you don't make the rues around
here. Be advised of the following:

1. You ensure that communication is countermanded because you value
form over function.
2. You mistakenly presume that you can commission a mandate, dictating
the ground rules for communication. I refer you to paragraph #2 above
in this regard.
3. You mistakenly assume that I am disappointed for having been
deprived of your rebuttal. FACTS are not subject to debate and I
couldn't care less what you have to say in your own defense.

I know how very much you abhor anything of a sexual nature especially
as it relates to you personally, but I just have to ask. Do you recall
how you were told that you shouldn't masturbate because it will make

Actually, that is all you do - nothing but redundancy! You need to take note
of the way others treat you on newsgroups, such as Tom Sherman and even the
scum bucket, Ed Gin. You drive everyone to distraction with your monomania.

Form is equally as important as function (substance).

Nonsense, I know you like to get back a response. You would not be
addressing me by name otherwise.

They are not my rules, they are the rules governing Usenet communications as
given to us by Google. But I agree with them because they make sense. Any
other manner of posting does not make sense. The reason the rules make sense
is that you cannot depend on others to read the previous message and
certainly not the entire thread. Very many will only read a single message
and everything has got to be there for them to make sense out of it. Most
folks are way too lazy to go back and read anything previous to what they
are presently reading. I know I am.

Well, you need to work on that bit of humor more. It badly needs some
polish. I never attempt humor myself as I do not have the wit for it.

However, I am somewhat surprised that a 50 year old man like Jim McNaa
would be into masturbation. I think he is ried and has kids too (Tim
McNaa?), and so it is doubly troubling that he would stoop so low as to
admit to such a low life.

But Great Saints like myself are few and far between. You really have to go
back over a thousand years to find my peers. This present world with all its
Jim McNaas is basically not fit for me to live in. I deserve far better.

Ed,

So then your answer to "GET A JOB" is that ARBR or is your job. How
pitiful. Interesting? You think you are interesting? You are the
laughing stock of ARBR. Have you not heard the clamoring of the masses
for you to take leave of ARBR and keep your promise to stay away for
good this time? Is that what you consider a vote of confidence? You a
bore who parrots the same crap over and over, ad nauseum. You fancy
yourself as the savior off ARBR, its self-appointed housekeeper when in
reality you are one of the reason why so many have departed. You
believe that you have attributes that you are not even in possession of
or have not yet mastered. You suggest that you are a role model for us
all and yet if we were all to emulate you, none of us would be able to
get along with one another. You think that ARBR is all about Ed Dolan
and the world revolves around you. Get real. You think that yours is
the way, the truth and the light. I thought someone before you said
that. In present day context, those sci-fi fans who follow Stargate
SG-1 will recognize Ed as like unto a prior for the Ori (not sure about
the spelling).

Readers...

The gap between Ed and reality is immense and insurmountable. Just
listen to what the man says of himself. He professes that he has
attained spiritual fulfillment by abnegating contact with his fellow
man, in effect denying his collective consciousness. Countless times,
in disdain, Ed has avowed his cerebral transcendence over all ARBR
subscribers. For the sake of argument, just humor Ed in his delusion
and follow along. Whereas it is a given that there is an inherent
human desire to be recognized by one's peers, Ed in deference admits to
having no peers. Consequently, the very recognition that Ed demands is
circumvented by his own arrogance, and yet, in utter contradiction, he
perseveres in his insatiable crusade to be heard by those who seemingly
matter not. Is this not just a bit incongruous? The pompous Mr.
Dolan, subscribes to the mistaken impression that the readership savors
his every word whereas in reality the only person who values what the
man says is the many saying it. He loves to hear himself talk or write
as the case me be. By his own admission, with no one worthy of his
companionship, the sanctimonious hermit has little more than the ARBR
from which to derive meaning in his life. Regardless of Ed's opinion
of the ARBR readership, without the lifeblood of the ARBR audience to
sustain him, Ed has nothing and is nothing. What a pathetic shallow
existence. Pity the misguided fool. It must really suck to be him.

Repetition is the basis of all learning. It is impossible to repeat yourself
too often when you are confronting the idiots of ARBR.

Try to say it just one way intead of half a dozen ways. Jim McNaa is

The entire paragraph above should have been broken up into its constituent
parts, such as they are. As it is, it gives the impression of slop - a sort
of diarrhea of the mind. I do not understand the mentality of folks who can
write such long-winded crapola. I mean, just LOOK at the paragraph above.
Does that not right there tell you that we are dealing with a mental case?

No, I am afraid Mr. McNaa will have to get his mind in order if he wishes
to converse with the Great Ed Dolan. I do not suffer fools gladly, unlike
many others here on ARBR.

What a heartbreaker. This provides me with all the more reason to
conscientiously post in a manner that does not meet with your approval.

If you post like an idiot, I will call your attention and that of the group
to it. The main thing you need to learn is the function of the paragraph.
Funny you did not learn that in grade school. But barring that, you would
have learned it in a freshman college English course or you would never have
become a sophomore.

Learn how to get the form right and I will meet you on your substance, such
as it is. Do not get your form right and we will NEVER get to any substance.
Those are the rules of the Great Ed Dolan which apply to you because I know
that you are not an idiot. True idiots, of which ARBR has more than its
share, will never get anything right and so I don't bother to instruct them.
I just condemn them and let it go at that.

I see that Jim has at long last taken my instruction to heart on how to
keep his posts short. He was formerly the most longwinded sad sack ever to
disgrace this newsgroup. Hells Bells, he even drove Mr. Sherman crazy (which
takes some doing) with all his whining going on and on.

However, he has not yet learned how to bottom post, so we will have to work
on that some. If and when he ever gets his posts right, I will comment on
their meager substance, but first he has got to get the form right.

Any thread I contribute to, let alone dominate, will be interesting and
enjoyable because I know how to move the subject along and not get mired in
the mud like so many others. But more to the point, this thread is all about
me, so of course I will dominate it. Be thankful that I do not bother with
99% of the threads to ARBR as they do not interest me much. You can rest
assured that any thread with my name in the topic will get my close
attention.

Thanks for the link to the story of George W. Bush. As a matter o
fact in all likelyhood he and his friends blazed a trail past where
am now living. I find it amazing that he settled north of the Columbi
river because of the laws not allowing black men to lay claim to lan
in the Oregon valleys.
During WW11 many blacks were employed in the shipyard at Portland
After the war, when they were no longer needed, many could not fin
work while the high paying jobs were given to the white folk. They ha
the talent and the willingness to work but alas they were black.

You're right. I responded to the wrong message, not as I had
intended. However, I meant what I wrote. The confusion arose because
Ed responded to his own comments causing a bit of recursion. It
should have read as follows:

I disagree. The only important attribution is the most recent author.
His comments are the ones to whom the response is written and who said
what prior to that is irrelevant... just as this response is formatted.

However, we do not need to pay so much attention to the number of ks ' >'
if we add who wrote what. I will admit that I do take some shortcuts when it
comes to the initial editing of the headers, but surely that is the lesser
of two evils. It seems to me that all that matters is that everything that
is said be accurately attributed however it is done.

Never fear nget. Ed Dolan will always be here to take to task those who do
not post properly. However, when you are using Google as your point of
access there are complications which do not apply when using a proper
newsreader like Outlook Express.

I used the Google web page for reading and posting to Usenet for a couple of
years before I finally wised up. A proper newsreader just makes everything
so much faster and easier. There is just no comparison.

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

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:

GaryG wants to know whether I am a virgin or not. He could care less about
my financial arrangements. He is interested in the virgin question because
he is such a sinner and I am not. In short, he is a slut (male variety) and
I am a Great Saint. What else is there to know?

Everything is always tit 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.

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

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.

> I wouldn't call you stupid because you are clearly quite intelligent but

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
and unimaginative. You are a plodder. Too many like you here on ARBR and the
group would die from boredom.

Most folks deserve to have their asses kicked if truth be told. I am doing
the Lord's work by at least kicking a few of those asses right here on ARBR.

Well I'm glad you feel respected. This was done to honor you request to be
responded to in this manor and to avoid the topic of how to post.

You seem to have your point of view confused with "The Truth". I am not
going to try to tell you what "The Truth" is. The only thing I can say with
any certainty is that it isn't my point of view and it isn't yours. I'm not
your age but I'm a lot closer to it then I am to being a young man.

What parameters? You mean to tell me that there were some parameters that I
exceeded that caused you to insult me in this very posting?

>>>you are impossibly dull and unimaginative. You are a plodder.

I think I was direct and respectful while disagreeing with your opinion.
What parameter did I exceed or is the above not considered an insult where
you come from?

I don't think anyone assumes that everyone agrees with him or her. You anger
is counterproductive to any real dialog. If you aren't interested in real
dialog then don't bother responding at all. Anger without content is not
needed. Those of us that read what you post have a pretty good idea who you
are and how you feel. Now do you want to talk or not? If not then please be
silent.

You can't possibly know the truth, Ed. You can only ever know Ed Dolan's
point of view. Context is indeed everything.

Just post properly and we can permanently avoid the topic of how to post.

There can be many points of view, but some points of view are so outrageous

I have been the very soul of gentility in these present messages.

However, when you come out in favor of abortion as you have in the past,
then you have violated a parameter, the one having to do with killing
(murdering ) innocent life. Another example would be when Mr. Sherman comes
out equating the Palestinians with the Israelis. Even a Great Saint like
myself can only stand so much.

In this thread, I have not said word one about abortion and yet, somehow, I
end up insulted by you. Don't introduce the abortion topic into a
conversation where it is not present just so that you can feel justified in
being rude. Your rudeness is not limited to those topics where you have
strong feelings. Even in those cases it is not productive but it can at
least be understood. In the present situation, however, none of the hot
topics were mentioned, and yet you managed to toss in an insult.

If what you mean to say is "I don't like you because I know what you stand
for and I find it vile and evil". Then say that and be done with it. After
that you shouldn't bother with me. If everything I say is going to remind
you of abortion and make you sling insults then just don't respond and you
never have to talk to me again.

"Anger" isn't my word Ed, it is yours. Look up three paragraphs. You said "I
will weigh in with anger...". I see you didn't miss the chance to throw in
another insult. Ok, in your book, I'm a dunderhead. I can live with that.
Now everyone knows what you think of me. This is good because I'm sure that
they were clueless before. Thank you for clearing that up.

I could sign my postings with the tag line "Special Assistant to God" but
that doesn't make it so. As I have told you before, "Saint" is a very
specific designation which can only be given to you by the Catholic church.
I believe that one of the requirements is that you be dead. Regarding your
greatness, that really is for others to decide and I would say the jury is
out. No matter how much and how often you profess your greatness, it does
not make it so. We could go into a whole discussion about "What is great?"
and then see if you qualify but I don't think either of us wants to bother.
I can tell you that if all that is required is to label yourself "great",
then being great isn't really so special. Anyone could do it.

"I'm Great!"

See, I did it. Does that make it so? Not by most people's understanding of
the concept.

Just because I call you an idiot does not mean I have insulted you. Hells
Bells, that is usually just a warm-up phrase for what is to follow. If you
are so easily insulted, maybe you should not bother with Usenet. After all,
everyone knows that Usenet is strictly for idiots, scoundrels, knaves and
rascals. No one sane and intelligent need apply.

Almost everything you say pisses me off for some reason. I attribute it to
your st-ass sny New York Liberal Jew persona. NYC strikes me the same

Words mean whatever I want them to mean. Context is everything, something
that you are totally incapable of grasping.

Once you adopt a signature, it is a lot of work to maintain the standards
associated with the signature. Most who post to Usenet are ciphers as far as
their identity goes. For some reason they want to be anonymous or else be a
complete jackass like Peter Clinch. I don't know which is worse.

I decided from day one that I was not going to be an anonymous cipher like
most others. I would have an identity even if it killed me. But like I said,
it is a lot of work to maintain an identity. You are way too lax to ever
attempt such a thing. In short, you are not Great like me. You have to be
born to my Greatness. You cannot just assume it.

So what you are saying here is that you are a fictional character (well, in
reality, who isn't? but that's a whole 'nother discussion). I guess it
doesn't matter if you believe or don't believe your fiction. I was going to
write something different but I realized that I would be writing against
what I believe to be true. A fiction about a fiction. I wonder how many
levels deep that goes.

Anyway, oh great one, you have at least given me something in your own words
which allows me to find the Ed Dolan character interesting but ultimately
not important. That didn't really come out right nor express what I wanted
to say but it is as close as I can come. I realize that this communication
is written and I could edit but I don't have a more precise version to
offer.

Whoever or whatever you are, be well.

Yes, you cannot take newsgroups seriously. You are making mistake by doing
so. Even Mr. Sherman has repeatedly made a fool of himself by taking
newsgroups seriously. Mr. Meinecke also looks like a fool every time he
tries to say something serious to the group.

I only want to amuse and entertain. That is all newsgroups are good for.
However, there are zingers in everything I say which may or may not strike

Fab is a one note Johnny. I am anything but! The truth is that I am indeed a
fictional character. However, that does not preclude the most profound
truths being expressed from time to time. You have to stay tuned and be

Claire, you nitwit, stay the hell away from this scum bucket who goes by the
name of Fab. So far all I have ever heard him say on this group is that he
likes to wank.

It is possible that if he got you away in a secluded place he would rape you
and murder you. Assholes who post to a newsgroup and their sole subject is
wanking are bad news. Don't you know this? Were you born yesterday? Are you
a moron?

Listen to your wise old Uncle Ed. Model yourself after Our Lady, the Blessed
Virgin y. And stay the hell away from wankers like Fab. Only the Whores
of Babylon are suited for the likes of him.

And Fab is nothing more than a dirty-mined juvenile. He obviously knows all
about wanking. But that is what juveniles like him are into.

Fab needs to contemplate the Blessed Virgin y more and the whores of
Babylon less. Well, he will outgrow his youthful fancies if he doesn't first
succumb to a deadly venereal disease.

You seem to be pissed off about nearly everything and everyone. How's that
working for you?

Do you have any close relationships in the real world, or is being a Usenet
asshole your only emotional outlet?

BTW - when was the last time you had sex (solo masturbation excluded)?

Assholes like you especially have the unique ability to constantly piss me
off and to keep me pissed off. Keep up the good work as I have a very
reluctant bladder these days. Enlarged prostate you know.

Hey, it takes one asshole to recognize another asshole! But no, I am a
hermit and have been one all of my life. I have never found anyone worthy to
have an association with me. By the way, don't apply yourself for such an
honor as you are not even in the running. You would have to lose all your
asshole-ness, something that is clearly beyond you.

> BTW - when was the last time you had sex (solo masturbation excluded)?

Everyone resents the fact that I am such a Great Saint. I am known far and
wide as Saint Edward the Great. This is because I am just so g.d. f***king
superior to everyone else under the sun. That most assuredly includes a scum
bucket like yourself, an anonymous coward who hides behind a user name.

But hey GaryG, why don't you tell this group all about your sex life since
that seems to be what you want to talk about. We will listen to your tale of
woe and have a good laugh. Afterwards, I will treat you to a little vino. I
have hit upon Livingston Cellars Red Rose. This is a subsidiary of Gallo,
but damn - they make a vino which doesn't give me a headache. That right
there is some kind of miracle, although I realize it can't compare to your
sex life.

I think riding an upright bike with a conventional saddle can cause all
kinds of groin problems, including, who knows, prostate cancer? Recumbents,
on the other hand, can cause no groin problems at all since all you are
doing is sitting in an easy chair.

But, like I said, who knows. Certainly not you. All you know is how to wank.
You are the expert on that subject, no doubt about that. Care to give the

subject too, since she seems to be interested in your loathsome self.

Yeah, right...or, more likely, you're such a morose weirdo, with such an
overinflated opinion of yourself, that noone will have you.

LOL - evasion duly noted.

FWIW, you don't have to provide an exact date...the year you last had sex
would be sufficient for this discussion.

Well, since you asked, my sex life has been pretty incredible of late. Last
July I started seeing an attractive athletic woman who likes to ride as much
as I do (plus run, kayak, backpack, etc.). I once asked her if my riding
would interfere with our relationship, and she replied, "Ride as much as you
like...just save the last mile for me". Already on this year's fun calendar
are: an adventure race in April, climbing 14,000' Mt. Shasta in May, and
cycling in Colorado in June. For a picture of us (taken on a ride around
Lake Tahoe): http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?p=1936564#post1936564

For once I agree with you!

BTW, if you're interested in a cheap but good wine, look for Crane Creek -
2$/bottle. Most of their reds are good table wines, but their Pinot Noir is
outstanding.

Nope, not true. I have had to flee from others all my life. I have never
chased after anyone, but I have had plenty of others chase after me. I think
the reason for this is that I am a fairly unique individual, someone that
most have never seen the likes of. But I reserve myself for myself. Yea,
there is no one else in this world who is worthy of me.

I will not go to your link as I do not trust you enough for that.

Well, it is OK to have a girl friend as long as you are not taking advantage
of her. I will of course expect to see you shortly ried and settled with
a brood of kids. However, that sort of life is not for me. I am a loner and
I simply can't imagine living any other way.

By the way, you will not have to climb Mr. Shasta. You can just walk up it
on a pretty good hiking trail as I recall (or maybe I am thinking of Mt.
Lassen).

My Livingston Cellars Red Rose is a semi-sweet which has proven itself to
me. Most wines are either too dry or too sweet.

Not an issue...we've both already been there and done that and have no
interest in being parents again. At this point in our lives, we're most
interested in playing and having adventures together.

Well, if that floats your boat....fine. But based on your writings you
sound like a lonely person with many fears (of "homos", of "evil", of Jews,
etc.).

You're thinking of Lassen. Shasta is a climb, requiring ice axe and
crampons (ropes optional on the route we've chosen).

Yuck...sounds like old lady wine. As with many other of the finer things in
life, you have poor taste in wines, despite your self-anointed "greatness".

It has never even occurred to me that you can have any fun with a female.
They are all business and are interested in only one thing in their small,
circumscribed lives - and that is children, children, children.

human trash there. The only thing I fear are my own murderous instincts.

The main thing is that it doesn't give me a headache. Almost all other
versions of drinks containing alcohol do. Very mysterious to say the least!

You have to be from the Heartland to know what the simple life is all about.
Those living on the Coasts seem incredibly stupid to me as they pursue what
they consider to be the good life. There is no such thing as a good wine.
Hooch is hooch, but you have to be from the Heartland to know that.

Well, that's either a lack of vision on your part, or perhaps you should
review your "choice" of sexual orientation (you may find more fun in the
company of men).

My new girlfriend is interested in riding (road and mountain), running,
hiking, snowshoeing, backpacking, dancing, lifting weights and other
activities (wink, wink).

Have you ever spoken to a professional counselor or mental health
professional about your "instincts" and your views of "human trash"? You're
a very abnormal and lonely person....talking about it with a professional
may bring you some relief.

There is nothing wrong with my sexual orientation. We all know what women
are good for. However, they are sufficiently different from us that there is
really nothing much we can do together, or so it seems to me. All men
understand other men. No men understand women.

I don't believe she really is. Women will tailor themselves to please men.
It is their finest virtue, but we should not be misled by it.

Nope, hooch is hooch. Life is not nearly so nice as you think it is. It is
full of misery and horror. If you live long enough you will come to know it
in full measure.

My gf has been a hard-core athlete for many years. She's been out of town
this week on vacation with her sister, and during that time she ran 20+
miles, and rode 160 miles. She loves to play hard (and so do I!).

Your silly speculations aside, I do think you could benefit from some
therapy...there's no reason to go through life angry and lonely like you do.

This speaks volumes about your fearful and negative outlook on life. If
it's that awful, why don't you just end it right now?

FWIW, there are alternatives. I suspect you're too wrapped up in your own
paranoia and self-importance, but it really is possible to live a life
filled with physical and intellectual challenges, and social and sexual
connections. It sure beats the hell out of being lonely and angry like you.

I plan on being around for a good long time yet...thankfully, I'll never
embrace your fears and anger.

So then, she is more like a man than a woman. That sometimes happens to
women who do not have the brains to figure out that they are after all just
women and can never be men. I think the both of you are a couple of
dunderheads! So you may actually be well suited to one another. Idiocy
trumps sex differences every time.

No, I have been this way all of my life. It seems natural and normal to me.
Anyone who is in any way different from me seems like a mental defective.
You move to the head of the class in this respect.

Well ED, this exchange has been interesting (and easy), but I'm going to
have to sign off now for a day or two.

My girlfriend just got back from a week down south, and we have some more
intimate and entertaining activities planned for the rest of the weekend.

I should really be there to chaperone the two of you. I would not permit any
hanky-panky and you would not even be allowed to hold hands. Only shy
glances would be permitted. After experiencing the ministrations of the
Great Ed Dolan (aka Saint Edward the Great), you would truly know the ways
of God and Man - and you would be a far, far better man than you have ever
been heretofore. Who knows, you might even discover the difference between
love and sex, although that would be a long shot in your case.

Poor ED...it must be terribly lonely seeing the world the way you do. Your
self-annointed "greatness" is an obvious compensation for the loneliness and
anger you must feel whenever you step outside.

Not to worry...I'm in good company.

It does not take any brains to be a certain kind of scientist. You just
follow the old cook book like any good cook would. Lab scientists are
plodders and that is why women make such good lab scientists. It is almost
like working in the kitchen. It they would only stay in the kitchen in the
first place, the world would be a lot better off.

So why the hell doesn't the software I download to my computer work better.
Half the time it freezes my computer and then I have a devil of a time
getting rid of it. If I were a software developer, I would keep quiet about
it.

Wrong again, oh Grate Bag o' Wind...my gf hasn't been in the lab for many
years.

Sounds like a personal shortcoming, ED.

What do you do for a living? (Besides posting bigoted tripe and avoiding
questions about your life?).

I disagree. The only important attribution is the most recent author.
His comments are the ones to whom the response is written and who said
what prior to that is irrelevant... just as this response is formatted.

No, we need to know at all times who is saying what. Any other way makes a
mess of the thread as well as makes a mess of logic and reason. It is doing
things ass-backwards.

For instance, in this present message of yours you have Jeff Grippe saying
what I said. He would never say what I said because he does not have my
imagination. You have done both me and him an injustice and you have
confused any subsequent reader of this thread.

Mr. Brandt needs to review the Google rules for proper posting. Failing
that, he should at the least reveiw Mr. Sherman's posts which are always
letter perfect and 100% correct.
