Now if we could just get everyone to read and understand       > it before posting...       >       > Earth Jargon              Now you are bitching that the rest of us are not dropping enough postings       for you.              When I mentioned your recent odd behaviour - your lack of posting as much       as usual - to a certain someone, that certain someone told me that you have       had some surgery or been in the hospital or something like that because       of your condition (paralysis waist down) or other health problem. So then       I figured that accounted for your way-less-than-usual droppage. With this       latest little addition you have made it now rather appears that bitching has       just       become your usual mode, and that you are dropping way less postings as       an on-purpose passive-aggressive act of omission.              Do you really think that it makes sense to make way less postings than       usual yourself and then say that alt.anagrams is "mostly dead these days"?       That is like not going to the store to buy groceries and then complaining       that there is no food in the house.              The group is what each person - including you - make it.              How dare you put down other people of the group regarding the FAQ when       you yourself have been one of the people who apparently has not read or       understood the FAQ since you have flouted its Netiquette rule many times.              How dare you put down other people of the group regarding number of       postings when you yourself have the past several months dropped way       less postings than your usual.              Hypocrisy is a grave sin. See Matthew 24:36-51 wherein the comment is       made that a hypocrite will suffer the same fate as a violent person. What       fate? One thousand years of mental torment in outer darkness where you       will be crying and complaining, and then being thrown into the Lake Of       Fire which will separate soul (lent mind + will) from spirit (lent portion of       Spirit God) so that you will no longer exist and shall never exist again.              There is still time to repent and have it accepted. Hopefully you will.       God will accept repentance up until the day that Jesus returns. The day       that Jesus begins his descent to Mount Olives will be the day that God       reads the record of every soul to reckon each as either righteous or       wicked and then the fate of each is sealed, or as the tree falls so shall       it lie - at that point then there is no longer time to repent and have it       accepted.              Debra Dee Freeman       A DR DEBEE FREEMAN       ERE BE A FREEMAN, DD       --       P.S. By the way, also very odd for you to say that alt.anagrams is       "mostly dead these days" in reply to Christopher's comment that       "less is more". Ha! Ha! Ha! You and he need to get together and       work out your opposite extremism to a reasonable middle ground.       Get your acts together, fellas! The group can be great if you each       do your proper part.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
