Right, Perry, you didn't have a problem with this newsgroup because you enjoyed those liberal rants
that were prevalent on this news group before I showed up. Tom has never yet said anything remotely
intelligent, but it speaks volumes that you think so. You are most likely a typical Minnesota
liberal, one of the lowest species of Americans that I know of. I wish to God you and your ilk would
move to Massachusetts. Frankly, I am ashamed to be from Minnesota because of liberals like you.

No, Freewheeling is more intelligent than you. He has not kill filed me because I have a knack
for saying intelligent things and he respects that. It is only the numbskull's who have kill
filed me. Please note that Mr. Sherman has not yet kill filed me, although I will bet that he has
thought about it. Yes, I suspect Mr. Sherman has lost some respect on this newsgroup because he
now has to contend with me and I am not an easy person to answer to. He can no longer pontificate
like he used to.

Screw these wimpy jackasses! If they want to leave, good riddance. I will hold everyone accountable
for what they say on this newsgroup and everyone can also hold me accountable for whatever I say. If
you want to be stroked by your fellow man I suggest you go to your local social club where everyone
is making an attempt to be nice and goody. That sort of scene disgusts me, but maybe it is right up
your alley.
Why haven't you noticed that there are others on this newsgroup (GeoB and Freewheeling) who enjoy OT
and that there is a stimulating discussion going on. Even Mr. Sherman can't stay away from it. You
need to get some intellectual stimulation in your life and who knows, maybe some day you can
contribute something to the discussion yourself.
However, I do agree with most on this newsgroup that OT should be limited. I do not want OT to take
over the newsgroup. After all, I am here for the recumbent information the same as everyone else. I
cannot see for the life of me why others like yourself cannot see OT as a sort of dividend to ARBR.
If it is not enjoyable for you, then stay away from it. Most threads once they get going are easily
identified for what they are. They don't even have to be labeled OT, although they should be so
labeled. I can spot in a second what posts I want to read, what posts I want to respond to and what
posts I want to totally ignore. Can't you?
Yes, I have a clue to ARBR better than you. I didn't spend my life in the bowels of great university
libraries without picking up a clue or two. As I have stated over and over again in previous posts,
I am here to check all the liberal rants and raves that infested this newsgroup before I showed up.
All I ever want for this newsgroup is fair and balanced opinions.
