About Bay Area Dave

He's not stupid. People who respond to him are stupid [except newbies
who don't know about him yet.] And that's what he relies on, which
makes him smarter [a lot smarter, knowing the human condition] than
the idiots who perpetuate his crap. So ...your choice.

Bill.

Got to hand it to him. He has more energy than I do. Could never

"his filters" is more than "his". it's what everyone
including myself have used, although I went back to relying
on more personal restraint and a couple of filters in Netscape.

OF COURSE I realize it all looks childish!! Do you think I'm
stupid?? I was making a point about how ludicrous it is of
Doug and company to think that they can stop me from posting
here. Give me some credit for not being as dumb as you'd
like to think I am.

Don't you think Watson's tirades directed at me for days on
end were childish too?? Are you afraid to confront one of
the "good ole boys"? Where was your righteous indignation
then???

Bill, you are indeed correct. I love to push people's
buttons. BUT, and it is a Big but, I'm interested mostly in
pushing the buttons of folks who have been rude to me. I
would never be rude to someone like, say Leon, or Mike in
Mystic as they have always been helpful and decent. Which
leads me back to my earlier comment today (?) about being a
mirror. The folks I ride the hardest are those who have
either told some tall tales about me or who have been
utterly disrespectful.

I MUST note that over the course of time I might forget the
poster's identity and respond totally out of synch with my
true regard for that poster. I'm really bad with names so
sometimes (hopefully SELDOM) I may have been rude to someone
who never meant me any ill will. I take FULL responsibility
for being an asshole when I shouldn't have been, but I make
NO apologies for complaining bitterly to, and about, the
"miscreants" who think they own this newsgroup. I used to
refer to them also as the "woodworking gods". I was being
too charitable. More appropriate would be "woodworking MOB".

anyhow, you write more like a "real person" and I respect
your thoughtfulness. I'm sure I come across as nuts
sometimes, but there's a 95% chance that when I get rude, a
member of the miscreants has just elected to push MY
buttons, perhaps out of boredom?

Do you remember a period of time when I posted NOTHING but
woodworking related stuff? That was because I had heavily
filtered out miscreants and no one was getting around to
giving me smack. When they want to tangle, if I've got the
time, I'll oblige them. Doug and his silly filters are SO
inappropriate for a Mensa man; I mean really; is that all he
has to do; keep updating his filters if I post under a
different screen name? I can change screen names in less
than 15 seconds. I wouldn't have EVER posted under any but
my usual had he not been so in my face with his filters.

Sorry you had to take time out of YOUR day to get involved
in this nonsense.

Cheers, Bill!

Maybe I'm completely missing the point here but as a big time lurker, part
time contributor and often time questioner I don't see what all the fuss is
about.

I have the best filter in the world - if I see something I don't like - I
don't read it. I DO use filters for the trolls who seem to like body parts
and sexual functions but everything else is not important. I have read and
sometimes responded to BAD over the years and have always found his info to
be helpful and sometimes humorous.

To those people who complain that he's wasting bandwidth - aren't you
contributing to the bandwidth waste by complaining?

I am not defending BAD - he certainly is extremely capable of doing that
himself but again I say - What's the big fxxking deal? If you don't like
what he says, a) ignore and/or b) don't read it.

Just MHO,

Vic Baron

So "getting in your face with [their] filters" is what precipitated
your ire?

>OF COURSE I realize it all looks childish!! Do you think I'm
>stupid??

No. Immature was the word I would have chosen. You apparently lack as
much self discipline as the others who are involved in this. For my
part, I'm done. This is my last post to you on the subject.

Ah, the you-can't-stop-me defense.

Ibid.

Didn't read them. I quit reading his stuff some time ago. The reason
doesn't matter. The act is the key. Why did you read them?

As a matter of fact, following my own advice above, I won't be reading
yours any more, either.

See how simple it can be.

Buh bye.

Do you have any concept of how childish this all sounds?

>I love to push people's buttons.

Time for an adult hobby?

>...but, I'm interested mostly in pushing the buttons of folks

I imagine in your mind you've never been the instigator?

Collateral damage?

>I take FULL responsibility for being an asshole when I shouldn't

Pretty magnanimous when there aren't any consequences, don't you
think? Shouldn't you suffer some penalty when you've done so?

>but I make NO apologies for complaining bitterly to, and about, the

So when and how were you appointed to clean up the place?

>and no one was getting around to giving me smack.

6th grade? 7th grade?

>When they want to tangle, if I've got the time, I'll oblige them.

I'm sure you like to pretend you're a casual, disinterested
participant, but I think if you step back and look at how many posts a
day you make, maybe you'll realize it's more like an obsession.

>I wouldn't have EVER posted under any but my usual had he

This is the line that prompted my first question: do you have any
concept of how childish this all sounds?

Someone "got in your face with his filters?" Oh, the humanity.

PS: the first sentence looks weird with "is" but thinking
about what "his filters" refers to makes me wonder if "is"
is correct. anyway, FYI I don't have anyone filtered and I
haven't suffered a stroke. :)
