Well, Mr. Bass has got this much right at least. I really have no objection
whatsoever if someone wants to kill file me. After all, I have no interest
in talking to anyone who does not want to talk to me. But then that person
should not be making snide and nasty remarks about me to others based on
what he is seeing quoted, because he is only getting one side of the story.
This was always the only problem that I ever had with Cletus Lee too. If you
have kill filed me, then you should not be commenting on my posts. In the
old days this was what was known as fair play.
I have never kill filed anyone no matter how nasty it gets. I want to know
what others are saying and when I respond I want to know what the full story
is, not just one person's side of it. There are very many on this group who
do not know how to properly edit a post. That is why it is so important to
have the messages in full and not some else's edited version.

No, but you need to read what I have written in full and not some else's
version who is editing my message to make me look like an idiot. Where is
your sense of fair play?

If and when you respond to one of my messages, then indicate that you have
read ALL the messages in that thread pertinent to the particular topic under
discussion and not just one person's slanted version of it. When you are
reading just one person's version via his quotations, then you are only
getting half the story. Again, I ask you, where is your sense of fair play?
