"I feel sorry for you if you are going
through life avoiding the good because there might be some bad along the way." Peter Not quite. One does get to discern the ratio of "good" to ego-driven, condescending bull****. If there's more bull**** than "good" the choice to walk is more than valid. Yes, **** does produce roses....but only if you're willing to put up with the stink. Discernment. Deciding how deep you're willing to stand in the crap for a few lousy roses....ankle deep? Knee deep? Or, "screw the roses"? Finn doesnt find the roses here, in number or quality, to be worth the ****. Defending the **** doesnt stop it from being ****. "Oh, but LOOK, how FINE the ROSES!" doesnt hide the stench. Discernment. The ****-to-roses ratio is askew in here. Fortunately, there's plenty of dung beetles who dont mind. Lot's of ****-happy dung beetles, two or three courageously struggling roses and knee deep bull****. Discernment.....a quality lacking in the average dung beetle. Listen up: Newcomers being met with smarmy holier-than-thou, insulting bull**** from der Konehead is not "amusing", Dr.Ernie DungBeetle et al. It's ****ing unacceptable in a place intended to offer "support". What a joke. Finn figured that out right quick. LassChance |

"Usenet is an Anarchy.
He "belongs" here as much as any of us. I, for one, would not have it any other way! " It's only anarchy because there are rude and vulgar people who misuse it. The don't contribute to the discussion, they only use it to get their sick jollies insulting and annoying others. I've seen newsgroups disappear from jerks like this. The purpose of this newgroup is for discussion support about LC, not to insult people with every post. And encouraging jerks by telling them they do belong here as much as anyone else just makes it worse. Apparently you confuse free speech with obnoxious and vulgar behavior. |

"So let's not make it worse by pretending
that this person belongs here or contributes anything other than insults. And why anyone would encourage his behavior, is beyond me."~ Trader 4 Hmmmm. Now, there's some Discernment. I think it breaks down like this, Trader: der Konehead is the Chief Dung Beetle. The weaker, lesser dung beetles suck up, excuse and defend him because that keeps him off their backs, in much the same way POW's come to admire their captors and even to enjoy the torture. "Follow the Leader Even if He's an Asshole" is typical of lesser dung beetles. Just look what one swaggering failure of an art student did for Germany. OM is not a dung beetle at all, but a spiritually advanced Soul who truly forgives unacceptable behavior. Then, there are the non-dung beetles who have varying degrees of tolerance for bull**** and either stick around or split, depending on their BSTL. Finn had a very low Bull**** Tolerance Level and split. I have a pretty low BSTL, too and am sort of standing on the sidelines, arms crossed, watching the dung beetles and counting roses, deciding. But, I do recognise a dung heap when I see one. LassChance |

"Why take JC this seriously? Cmon. He has a schtick. That's it. "
Most of the people who have been around a while realize what he is. But how about the newbies that show up and ask a question of two and get blasted with vulgarity and abuse? How many of them who we would like to have in the group just give up and go away? That is what kills groups and why I don't think this behavior is funny, cute or should be encouraged. If anything, we should all start complaining to his ISP about his abuse of the newsgroups. |

Quoting Lass Chance:
Finn figured that out right quick. You don't even know what you're typing about as per usual. flyinfinn made all of twelve posts to the group, and ten of those posts contained death threats. |

I dont take him seriously, at all. However, even at 'not at all", he's still a RCH above you, you fence-sitting mealy-mouthed junior dung beetle suck-up. any more questions, doc? LassChance Start LC~5-16-05 202-188-165 |
