I have long been bothered by that situation. For awhile I wanted to
just tell him what I thought of him and what he was. But to what end.
Just for me to feel better. And that's the wrong reason. Escalation
would not have really helped anything. And I would have diminished
myself doing it.

As far as posting every fart on the internet goes, he seems to be the
one eating chilli. Every thought, musing and observation gets posted.
All, it seems, just to rack up the posting counter. Yes there are allot
of nasty things I think I would like to say. But it wouldn't be news to
anybody, and it wouldn't even make a dent. Nothing makes a dent. And
that is not any compliment; as for myself, such an observation would not
be something I could in any way be proud of. And because of that, I
concede your point in that he isn't worth the bother. I am always too
slow to recognize these people. But there are people in the world like
that.

When he made a statement about not getting into any ****ing contests,
digging in your heels is just that.

He has problems and they always will be just that. __His problems.__
And part of his make-up. So they will show.

Everybody, post away! And have fun! Let the merriment begin!

Jules, you're being altogether too human.

Dave's an interesting case. some of the time he has intelligent things
to say, questions to ask and contributions to make to this group. he
can't seem to go very long without making a complete fool and/or
asshole of himself though. I suspect it has something to do with the
anonymity of the forum.

you're a good man to try to steer him right. I'm not the social
engineer type- when he gets obnoxious I just dunk him in the 30 day
killfile again. these days he seems to average about a week at a time
in daylight.... then he'll mouth off again and back he goes.....

Well maybe he has bad unresolved issues. They burden a person. Like what
I was talking about earlier. Sometimes a simple acknowledgement that
they screwed up, is all it takes. But instead they won't do anything to
even hint at an apology after doing somthing bad. They feel it is better
to leave a person with hurt feelings. They won't try to make amends
because the wife is watching or children are going to see, and they
don't want to set an example of how to behave. What they don't realize,
they are setting an example. And that's bad. Or they are afraid they
won't look manly in front of a crowd. But fear is a weakness and it is a
strength to stand up and say "I was wrong". When someone is like that,
it is really a ****ing contest backwards and he has the wind in his
face. That's bad. Our actions and inactions, define us all.
