1. I don't recall seeing it recently, although I've used it several times in the past.

2. Typos were not intentional. They are a result of imperfect typing skills. I apologize if they offend you. From what I recall about our alleged Pete in AZ, he didn't seem to be able to attest to much at all.

You should read most any of my recent replies to Carl and BU56. I am constantly reminding them not to do this.

Garth, garth, garth - your words rarely offend me; remember, sticks and stones...

Your mistakes bother me, especially when you criticize others for making the same ones. But, that is what umpires are prone to do when the call isn't theirs to make.

I don't know about Pete, but my response to you was sarcastic. It was meant to elucidate the double standard you've employed. Don't be distraught, I'll still keep you on my Christmas Card list. This is the season of giving.

You disappoint me. I've employed no double standard. I haven't criticized anyone for making any mistake I have made.

I would have thought you'd have known the difference between a typographical error and a serious grammatical error. I would have thought you'd have know the difference bewteen a spelling error and a lack of knowledge of sentence structure.

Could I have over estimated you? My bad. ("That was" is implied, in case you were wondering.)

Leave me out of this
 

WWTB, please do not bring my name into this. As innocent as it was, these guys don't play by the rules. I thought this was a civil forum but see that Tim and Garth are no better than the guys they make fun of on McGriff's site. You cannot hear sincerity or inflection within these words. Twisting them is what they do best. Garth, I feel sorry for you since that is your most distinguishable trait.

GB:

Put words in your mouth? I was just stating my opinion, if you feel that I was attacking you or trying to put words in your mouth then you have issues that go beyond my post.

I wasn't aware that I had been dishonest but if you feel that I need you to help keep me honest then you go right ahead. It never hurts to have a few extra people looking out for you. Finally, if it will make you feel better then I will say that I agree with you and you are right. Now we have no further need to argue :-)

I didn't mean to drag you into this, so I apologize. I used your name to reference the fact that they jumped all over you for the way you write, but when I chastised Garth (Tim simply makes to many errors to waste my time here.) for the same, he became defensive and critical. This is not McGriffs, but a couple of them don't know it.

Just so that the moderator doesn't get confused; secret signals are silly. If you have something for the guy, let him know. You shouldn't need a signal since the coaches will be pretty bositerous at that point.

You are re-writing history. You couldn't have chastised me for making the same mistakes as our alleged attorney friend. Why? Because I didn't make the same mistakes.

You accuse others of twisting facts and changing direction, and now you employ those very techniques. Again...disappointing.

Oh, and unlike you and the others who post at McGriff's, I have no need to hide behind an anonymous name when I post. I'm not afraid to stand behind anything I write.

My, aren't you the clever one? I never asked you to agree with anything. I asked only that you didn't misrepresent what I had said. I see now that you either don't understand, or you have the social skills of a snake. Either way, as you suggest, I will no longer read or reply to your posts.

Have a good season.

Garth,

Don't really care if you can type, spell, pee on the floor, carry your lunch to work or count backwards from one.

That was Funny.

You just proved my point, mistakes are one thing that you love to point out. I obliged when you did it to someone else. Now, you are at it again. I don't edit my posts for typos, they live on in perpetuity. Writing well and typing correctly are things that a few of you don't understand. Like you said, it was just a typo, not a grammatical error. That must be that double standard you don't use. (cheshire grin)

Your comment about McGriffs is curious. I haven't written anything there in quite some time. Long before the purging, I felt little need to dialogue with those who think that f*ck and sh*t are the pinnacle of substantive writing. I used the name WindyCityBlue there and always have. To you I may be hiding, but others have no problem knowing that I'm not afraid to put my screen name with my opinion. I don't seek the approval of others and accolades are not why I write on internet forums. My self esteem is not an issue, so I choose not to use my birth name. From what you've written lately, you've done your relatives proud! Keep up the good work.

I also notice that Jurassic is at his old tricks again. Is it worse that he can't add anything to the discussion or that he just proves he can't? As Pete wrote earlier, I feel sorry for you.

What the F are you talking about? Your mind must be slipping. I have not accused you of making mistakes in the writing of any of your posts. What double standard? I have not accused anyone of doing anything I have done, with the obvious exception of my sons when they were teenagers. One always has to try to help them avoid mistakes. It never works, but one has to try. You seem to following the school of thought that if you repeat something often enough, it will be believed. What the hey, Clinton tried it, why not you?

It appears you are confusing posts from other indivdiduals, but I really have no interest in trying to figure you out any longer. Like HHH I had originally thought there was some merit to you, but you have grown tiresome.

We, who have the courage to use our real names, are not involved in ego. We just have nothing to hide. Those who hide behind "handles" can offer any reason they want; the truth is they are not accepting responsiblity for anything they say as long as they hide.

Please enjoy a long and prosperous life. Be happy. But don't feel any further need to fill me in on any progress. You belong in the Jim Porter closet. Be sure to keep the door closed.

Yup, he's laughing at ya. Not <b>with</b> ya, <b>at</b> ya.

You and the Mad Editor are great entertainment. :D

A perfect ending to this thread. The mods should close it before someone thinks they can do better.
