Then entry does say that in the final season, Barnes beat J.R. and took
over Ewing Oil - I never knew that, as I didn't watch it after about
1982 - but that obviously was just a cheap trick by the series producers.

Hawwke-Ptooey very clearly appears to be a bumbling sad sack here. *The
difference is, most of his opponents aren't like J.R. - maybe those
****bags Haskell and gummer, but certainly not Dan, jk or I.

I personally enjoy Hawk's posts...insightful, intelligent and fair.

They're nothing of the kind. *He has no insight, he isn't particularly
intelligent, and he is anything but fair - in fact, he is the most
biased extremist imaginable.- Hide quoted text -

I disagee.

As I said, Hawk's posts are insightful, intelligent and fair.

They aren't. *The fact you think they are speaks volumes regarding your
weak intellect and base character.- Hide quoted text -

George...remember what I just said about spewing insane hatred?

Falling back on insults just shows all of us your problem of dealiing
with an opinion different than yours.

I never agree with anyone 100% but you do not see me rant and spew
hatred like the conservative wack jobs we see here on Usenet who do it
daily.
