Starting Thursday, 11/19 Get to Know John Kavanaugh

[Bob_Huntley]

Anthony,

Have you discussed this with Ran? If not, I suggest you do so.

Bob

  Bob,

  Please limit your questions to only topics of architectual content.

  Anthony

Anthony,

For someone who has posted some of the most inane stuff on this site I find your instruction above to be contradictory. Okay, you have a love affair with Barney, that is all well and good, however, he obviously was removed from membership of GCA by its owner, Ran Morrissette. For you to run interference for John without the express permission of Ran, is just plain bad manners.

Bob

[Anthony Gray]

  Bob,

  Ran is very busy and most likly has more important things to deal with. Why bother Ran with a non-off topic thread about somebody's views of architecture? I don't know how to contact Ran. If he is offended than I apologize. Other than me not disturbing Ran's day,Are there other things you do not like about this thread.

Bob Huntley is pretty well respected,and for good reason.Although he certainly doesn't need me to fight his battles for him,this is poor form.

Bob Huntley has contributed as much to this GCA fraternity as anyone I can think of.  His advice to check with Ran seems very reasonable to me.  I'm not sure why you took offense and responded that way.

If you want to contact Ran, go to any thread that he has posted on (I've linked to one here for your benefit).  Click on either the email or message icons below his post count and this will permit you to either email or message him.

Anthony,

You just don't get it. Has Ran told you he is just too busy to deal with it? Your assumption is wrong. Ran moderates this site, just post and he will answer you.

You ask if there are other things I dislike about this thread; yes there are. I have no quibble with John and have known and liked him since the first King's Putter in San Diego some years ago. As time progressed it appeared as though John took a perverse pleasure in needling some people with scatalogical language and veiled insults. My knowledge of this is by hearsay and reading some of his posts,  but it seemed serious enough for the moderators to remove his name from the GCA roster.

I would reiterate my advice to you; contact Ran.

Yours etc.

Robert C. Huntley Q.C., D.D., MBA

[Anthony Gray]

  Bob,

  What is Q. C.? I think know what D. D. is? I would not allow John's borish,sophmoric and obtuse messages on this thread. As you stated earlier,we do have a bromance and he has great respect for my addition and would do nothing but contribute positivly to a thread I would start.

How did you contact Ran in the first place to join the discussion group?  Surely a person with your professional credentials can figure out how to use a simple search engine.

[Mike_Young]

John,
I find it fascinating how when playing DR you would place a tee at your ball and putt to your partners ball location....how did this affect your approach strategy?

  Clint,

  Sorry not an architecture question.

It's not particularly cool to start a thread while another is in progress.

I couldn't care less that I didn't start it, but it would have been nice to have been notified, so as to not intrude on getting to know another poster, which is pretty much the entire point of these threads.

  George,,

  The Mike Young thread was going strong when you started others. .....When are people going to get to architecture questions and stop all the pipicaca ping pong?

  Anthony

[Peter_Herreid]

Not one noticeable spelling error in the last few posts on this thread from "Anthony Gray".....

Any chance we're being punk'd?

think about it...

  Know.

[Peter_Herreid]

Actually, there were quite a few more spelling errors than I originally realized, so I was wrong about that...

Too bad George's well-intentioned and most enjoyable efforts in this series have been hijacked by someone who is incapable of an unexpressed thought...

George, it is appropriate that you point out this lack of manners.

It should be pretty obvious, if not blatantly obvious, by now, that Anthony couldn't give one fig about protocol.  "Getting to know" someone who has been banned from the site is particularly egregious.

And Bill, throw in JakaB's mantra of posting under your real name, not hiding behind an alias, and it would seem bizarre that he would allow Anthony to post his replies.

If Anthony wants us to get to know JakaB, then it would be appropriate for JakaB to post his own replies under his own name/login.

I'm just saying ...

[Carl Nichols]

I've been assuming that Anthony is doing nothing more than posting fake Kavanaugh replies (i.e., that Anthony isn't actually posting anything on Kavanaugh's behalf), all in an attempt to be funny.  A remarkably unsuccessful attempt.

I wouldn't be too quick to assume that!  The lengthy reply above smacks of the verisimilitude that is Barney.

[Mike Benham]

... verisimilitude ...

Nice word, but running to the dictionary ...
