NewsGroup cannot have a capital letter “G” as used by you. The spelling of unsavory can be a personal thing but not common in the USA.

Let's see you killfile "Dad"! *lol* GF, you have never done anything to me, but hey, changing you ID to skirt killfiles is kinda lame, and comes off as a cry for attention, don't ya think man??

Simpson > GF, you have never done anything to me, but hey, > changing you ID to skirt killfiles is kinda lame, > and comes off as a cry for attention, don't ya think man?? > > Just an observation and disregard if desired. Hey Ric, you've always been cool and respectful to me as well and I thank you for that. I'm not actually changing ID's to skirt killfiles in general. (Don't let Dad see you spelling "killfiles" that way, or he'll take a swipe at you too!) I'm only changing ID's to skirt Dad's killfiles, just to let him know that he can't hit and run. This string is a good example of what he does. He posts a dumb-a.s response and then says "Now back to the kill file for the old grayfox, eh." It's like the schoolyard bully who doesn't want to play anymore when someone stands up to him. It's like he sticks his fingers in his ears and says he's not going to listen. Remember Ric, Dad started this thread. I know that you like Dad in general and have come to his defence on several occasions, but even you should admit that he can be a bully. I'm disappointed that you have suggested that I'm crying out for attention, when I'm merely refusing to be bullied by Dad. There's quite a difference. Ric, try to remember the reason that I originally sent a post in response to Dad. He was criticizing someone by saying "By the way, your writing skills suck." I merely responded by pointing out that his writing skills were also poor. Why was it okay for Dad to say to someone, but not for me to say it to Dad? You can't have it both ways Ric. In closing Ric, I'm attaching my previous response for Dad to read once again. If he doesn't want to be a keep being a bully and trying to get his way, he will accept what I have to say and let it rest. If he does, so will I. Otherwise I will respond in kind. Thanks for your opinion Ric. ***********************REPEAT OF LAST POST FOR DAD'S BENEFIT********** Dad wrote: >>Dad, I had to change my name after I learned that you killfiled my old >>name!

Can you read this ??? cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! Well if you can read this then you can tell that spelling is not that important so why don't you guys just quit f.cking arguing about grammar and spelling I am the first to stand up for this country (USA) and solute the flag, and think the English language is the only language that should be spoken in the United Sates but think the grammar and spelling is pretty stupid, example “steak” and “stake” there is no reason for the same word to be spelled different, the sentence will explain what steak you are talking about….(other examples which and witch, know and no, too and to and two) just a waste to learn all of the different ways to spell the same sounding word……… Now that said I have the utmost respect for “DAD” and his knowledge about Corvette’s and my understanding is that is what this group is about “Vette’s”…. So if dad is going to killfile, kill file, killedfile, killed file, killfiles, kill files, your post then shut the f.ck up and do the same to his…………… SignatureZÿRiX (<>..<>) > Can you read this ??? > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > killfiles, kill files, your post then shut the f.ck up and do the same to > his…………… Language is a tool, just like a wrench. If you want a box end and wind up with a spanner, well knowing how to communicate the difference would make the difference. I agree that context is usually the important issue, and usually one can determine what is meant regardless of the spelling. (Like knowing what a person means when they write "solute.") That's "usually." In this case, whoever is posting is not arguing spelling and grammar (which do mark a difference in ability to use the tool), but rather the act of insulting someone without seeming to have a reason for doing so. One thing that I have noticed for certain, having hung around this shop for quite a while, is that Dad doesn't require anyone else to defend him. If he feels defensive, he'll do that himself. To jump to his defense seems a bit like saying he is incapable of doing so. I wouldn't be the one to say that. An argument is an argument. Let 'em have it out. What's it going to harm? It's pretty hard to get a bloody nose from an email, and none of us is invulnerable to criticism. As deals go, it just ain't that big of one. SignatureZÿRiX (<>..<>) > >> Can you read this ???
