Wonderful words Bill and it might be possible to accept them as sincere if you and your son were not carrying on all the petty bullshit in every other thread. Your continued actions show the spirit and intent of this post was clearly disingenuous. But then, why am I not surprised. In the past six months you have yet to display a sincere thought or an honest statement. -- Don RCOS# 7 2000 - Yamaha Venture Millennium Edition Disclaimer: This message may contain incidental references to various brands of motorcycles, vehicles or parts manufacturers.

You only quoted parts of the posts. You say the joke posted started the flaming? I think not. If you go way back to December, one of the guys started the name calling, and he didn't insinuate that it was in jest. I responded to each and every post with no name calling until I decided last week I'd had enough of being mr. nice guy. I cannot believe you cannot understand that a joke, about anyone, anything or race or whatever, is just that. I do believe someone on that group posted a Michael Jackson joke. Oh my god! Did anyone complain? Nosiree. A joke, not to be taken seriously. I've heard many "honky" jokes, but it doesn't offend me. How about "redneck" jokes? Using your reasoning, I would get all fired up since I still reside in the south and was born here! I just laugh if it's a funny joke. It wouldn't matter if I said the sky was blue, those 2 guys would twist it. Voice your opinion. I have attacked no one. You did not state specifically I was wrong, but you suggest I apologize? When Hell freezes over. Geez, I'm missing something here. I work in a job where I deal with all races and religions everyday. On every call I'm gonna make someone happy, and someone not happy. I'm sick and tired of people looking for an excuse for a lawsuit or to complain because they were "offended" somehow. Your 2 quotes out of many posts is what I meant by "twist." It does little to show the whole story...
Crap! I tried to choose my words so carefully to ensure they were accurate and here you blow me out of the water already. -- Don RCOS# 7 2000 - Yamaha Venture Millennium Edition Disclaimer: This message may contain incidental references to various brands of motorcycles, vehicles or parts manufacturers.

Doesn't matter whether Roger and Al are Muslim (you'll notice I cap'd it , since it is a proper name) . What matters is that you have shown your racist leanings . Roger I know personally , and while he might not always be PC , he's not a racist ... And you might be rather surprised at how many RMH denizens also read this group ... -- Snag aka OSG #1 '76 FLH "Bag Lady" BS132 SENS NEWT "A hand shift is a manly shift ." <shamelessly stolen>
Okay, let's go back to your comment that I was first replying to. In your first message in this thread you said: A simple enough comment about rmh where you make it sound like you are perfect and have been nothing but a gentleman on rmh. While I don't claim to know everything nor do I remember every message from rmh in a resent message you posted to rmh was the quote I used about the joke and how you reacted to a comment about it. I did not claim that "the joke posted started the flaming". I understand you did not start it all but have since stepped down to their level. So you bitch about others on rmh not being nice to you but you are just as guilty for returning the favor. Get over it. As far as Michael Jackson or redneck jokes since when have they become a race or religion? Your comparison is moot. I too still live in the south and also consider myself to be a proud redneck. I love to listen to Jeff Foxworthy and his redneck jokes. But he is also a redneck himself and does his jokes in a way that doesn't put down rednecks. If some comedian from the north started making redneck jokes that were meant as pure put-downs would you still love them as "jokes". As you mentioned not everyone will be happy and someone will not like it. You can handle it two ways, The first way is to acknowledge their opinion and move on. This does not mean you have to agree with it. The second way is to cop an attitude in return which is what you did. The two posts I used were just to show that you aren't an angel yourself. It wasn't meant to show the whole pictures as all someone has to do is go over to rmh to see your posts. In your own words you said "I decided last week I'd had enough of being mr. nice guy." That's fine and I don't blame you for it. But don't go acting like a little baby crying about others not being nice to you when you're acting the same way. Ruppster
I really don't give a shit who reads this newsgroup. For you to say I'm racist by telling a joke is beyond reality. Get a life foreskin...

Why do you limit it to race or religion? I could relate the michael jackson joke to demeaning blacks. You have tunnel vision. Hah, crybaby you say? I put up with months of their wisecracks before I "went to their level." You say I've copped an attitude? Jesus, you're naive to say the least. The others had an attitude from the start. I "act in the same way because I respond in kind to what they post. Talking about being a crybaby, hat about them being so called "offended" because of a joke, but I get personally attacked because of my job? Get a life!

I'm sure he is a fine fellow. I think Roger and me have an understanding...the "other one" is the one I think needs help...and I don't think months of name calling is "ragged a bit." I really didn't mean to include roger in the term "they." I got to go mow the grass and mix a drink...
Very well, thanks.. hmmm... I got part of what I came for.. There is one to go.. May be.. I thought I made it clear..
Well , I ain't been on Bag Lady much lately , thanks to that little tropical thingy y'all sent our way ... Aside from that , right well , thank you very much sir .
