OT: Is anyone as sick of me as I am of Kalen?

[John Kavanaugh]

There was a time when I was surprised that people weren't waiting for my every thought. I'm just so damn clever. I get it now. Thanks K.


Is there a solution out side the scope of common courtesy that might get some of us to tone it down a bit?

I took this 2-3 years into marriage. My wife followed and we celebrate 29 years of marriage next week:

Barney,

You and my wife would likely get along well.  Hang in there! 

P.S.  I've just been a chatty Kathy this weekend, point taken.  Thanks for the reminder!

Get a room!

Get a room!

For both of them at the same time? Ugh.
I think someone is pining to be a replacement for Garland Bayley and start a grudge match

I had a bad feeling about this thread. I’m more damaged than I thought if i’ve been pining for that!!!

Peter,


I'm all about spreading peace, love, and harmony in this sacred room.


Lord knows there's enough craziness outside of here.

Myers-Briggs has been around for a long time.  I thought it was more widely known.

I have to admit now that every time I see a post of yours I think of Carl Rogers, the famed American psychologist who originated the non-directive client-centred approach to therapy and emphasized the relationship between therapist and client as key to healing.
*That* Carl Rogers was born near Chicago in 1902 and died in La Jolla California in 1987. I don't know if he played golf too, but I'd like to think so.

A humble and discerning Barney is just another boring John. At least  I can always remember when Hillbillies took a poke at Doak.

If this is acting humble my path to glory just got wider.

Will defer to a Clarence Darrow anecdote that summarizes my feelings on the matter:


Mr. Darrow, following an outburst, handed a note to his opposing counsel:


I called you an ass it is true and I am sorry for it.


He looked at the attorney, handed him the note while saying, "But, please, sir, punctuate it yourself."..........

Barny,

Although your "Twatis Enormi" (a little known Latin term) internet persona is 180 degrees from the erudite and genteel "person in person," I always make sure to read your posts; expelling rapier pith with such an economy of words is an art form that seems impossible to somebody (moi) who takes 500 words just to clear his throat.

What I *am* "sick of" is the parade of nouveau tight ass, finger-waving, guardians of lockstep smugness, diluting the beurre blanc with corn starch and canola oil.

We need an influx of Johnny Thunders, Hamilton B. Hearst, Anthony Gray - and a triumphant return of the great Pat Mucci!

More clever turns of phrase - like the Clarence Darrow line (A+) - and less pedestrians filling out the field with deadly dull anal . . . ysis.   

[Terry Lavin]

Anal…ysis!


Well conceived.

Well, you could leave the site.

Barny,

Although your "Twatis Enormi" ...

Your spell checker failed to correct Barny to Barney, and twatis to twitis.

[Gib_Papazian]

It is my recollection that Jaka b spelled it "Barny."


When pressed for an explanation for his latest nom de plume - on the way to the KP at Barona Creek KP many years ago - out came an actual autographed picture of Barney Frank from his golf bag.


Needless to say, I felt triggered and needed to find a safe space in the bar . . . . .


If you don't know the difference between twatis and twitis, I cannot help you.

Thank you. That is exactly what I might do if I have to read another 20 posts by Schley before the end of the day.

Sorry I guess I'm late, had my PM box jammed telling me to get posting!  So 19 more to go?

I still think about that glorious three days when the Ignore List worked correctly. If I remember right, it worked for a few days after the forum transitioned to its current software. Some guys complained that the setting would hypothetically stifle a certain amount of open discussion and I assume that led to a choice to disable it before we'd even tasted its potential upside. I would love to bring it back, personally.


The damn thing was I could still choose to view an ignored post, and often did. More like a trigger warning than a hard censoring.
