Desert Dave Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Seems like an EXTREME reaction, JJ, to what was a simple declaration that I personally can do without posted pictures. There are the rare times when you tend toward a "controlling" and "impatient" attitude. If you cannot accept some very MILD criticism, then... can you EVER appreciate something new? Insofar as some private concept you have of an "old Immer" or an "ACCEPTABLE Immer," I can only tell you that I TRY to live my live spontaneously and in grateful accord to the immediate moment. What I do NOT ordinarily do is edit my comments to fit some existing criteria, such as: "I wonder what JJ (... or anyone else for that matter) would think?" Hey, how about... let's go easy... go with the flow, eh? There are plenty of real and imposing issues in this fast breathing world to be concerned about. I have to wonder... is this one of them?

SeaWolf_48 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Jersey, if you think that your in outer space, your not. Immer is way out of line. I think he needs to be drug tested. Jersey John bends over backwards not to offend people, unlike me and quite a few others. There seems to be quite a few negitive postings lately, is there a unusual amount of sun spots now?

JerseyJohn Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 SeaWolf Thanks for the support, it's appreciated. There really have been a sudden abundance of negative postings. I've noticed the forum seems to move in positive and negative wave patterns, but I thought it was an illusion; perhaps not.

JerseyJohn Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Immer Occasionally words cause wars -- as was once wisely stated and since repeated ad nauseum, The pen is mightier than the, hmmmm never could remember the second part, my apologies. In this instance the little devils accomplished their misdeed magnificently. We had a little verbal misunderstanding and nothing more. Time to move on to those other more important and certainly more interesting topics you've alluded to.

SeaWolf_48 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Ge wiz Wally (John) you sure made that posting smaller. Or is it that we are truly a band of brothers. I'm playing with the 1.07 version, and don't notice any difference yet, except it seems more tame, but that's just a feeling and not hard facts.

Desert Dave Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 As originally posted by JerseyJohn: SeaWolf Thanks for the support, it's appreciated Likewise. Gee, Seawolf, if you only knew just how far off you actually are about that drug-testing remark... which only goes to show, you don't know me. And I don't know you, it's true. Meantime, I TRY not to abrade or chafe ANYONE... I do appreciate when they STAND UP and tell me if that's the case, as JJ has done... We had a little verbal misunderstanding and nothing more. Agreed. If there was in fact something about any of my posts that was offensive, I hereby apologize. To all and any and sundry. Time to move on along and enjoy the brief breathing space we are allotted in what is really and actually... trust me, a terribly short life.

SeaWolf_48 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Gee, Seawolf, if you only knew just how far off you actually are about that drug-testing remark... which only goes to show, you don't know me. Well, Immer, what is a Immer first of all? And a drug test can find all sorts of things...Crack, Crank, Smack, Dope, Weed, Snort, Ex, Luv Juice, Viagra, Dopamine, Alcohol, Endorphines, heart meds, and maybe the most dangerious of all, twinkies. (Had to look up the spelling of some of these words, well, I always have Word in the background and use it's spell-check regularly). True I don,t know you, but you must be a good guy, you like SC and history, and an avid wargamer, hell, you might even be a golfer, the best group of men in America! Back to the subject, how about those Bears, I mean Tigers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 SeaWolf Usually when I edit a post it shrinks but you're right, in this case the shrinkage was extreme. I was hoping nobody read the original. It's like James Thurber's comment to another writer about editing, "I'm a taker-out-er, you strike me as a putter-in-er." With all the polution we have today I'd say all the drugs you've mentioned are probably in our food, drinking water and perhaps even our air without any of us having a choice in the matter. I have a neighbor, a young boy, a perfectly lovable kid who inexplicably turns into a werewolf when the wind shifts. Turns out he has some obscure chemical alergy and the culprit is sometimes airborne. Who can take anything seriously on a planet where things like that happen?

JerseyJohn Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 SeaWolf and Immer Of course we're a Band of Brothers, kindred spirits who come here for the sole purpose of posting things to be read only by the few dozen regulars. It seems there are also a lot of lurkers but I doubt any of us write with them in mind; we neither know who they are nor what their views happen to be, so we pretty much know the people we're writing for and I'm sure none of us do so to create bad feelings. As Immer so aptly put it, "Time to move on along and enjoy the brief breathing space we are allotted in what is really and actually... trust me, a terribly short life." -- Well said, even if it did depress the hell out of me.
