I stand by my statements on jazz. They certainly have not been refuted
by you, as you are incapable of comprehending what another person, any
other person, says, thus you could hardly refute anything anyone else
says. You rise to the level of self awareness, but lack the
consciousness needed to be aware of what other people are saying when
they speak to you. For example, I never said I could hit a 186 yard
low spinning shot from a grassy lie in the rough any time I want. I
cannot succeed at any golf shot any time I want, and would never claim
to do so in any seriousness, yet you continually make this claim that
I said so. This assertion of yours quite clearly demonstrates your
lack of ability to comprehend the statements of others.

This sort of thing is not a problem for someone like Greg. He believes
that the health insurance reform will result in more money coming from
uninsured people. I don't. We are capable of comprehending what the
other is saying. We can articulate why we think what we do and move
on. An intelligent exchange that is beyond your intellectual ability,
and that is a statement that anyone can witness for themselves by
observing the fact that you are incapable of responding to what people
say.

I will produce actual references to RSG posts where I corrected myself
only as part of a $50.00 bet, and will only do so when I know the
money is being held by someone we both trust. I only charge $50 here
because I can think of a few right off the top of my head and they
would be very easy to find. I am a person who makes many assertions,
and as such will make errors, like any fully aware person knows.

And while you think I am a troll, I have no problem with that.Tthe
fact is to me you are the one of the most persistent trolls on usenet,
and your sort has destroyed usenet. You shtick is solely the running
down of other people. You contribute next to nothing to usenet, and
run off other real contributors with your persistent hostility While
it bothers these other people; evidenced by the fact they go away, it
doesn't bother me. All the time and effort you have put towards your
running down of me and I'm still here! You are the Eleanor Rigby of
usenet!

More BS Rob. You know nothing about the world of jazz, and I lived it
for 30 years. You made a statement that you couldn't back up. The
rest of your paragraph is more babbling that means nothing.
> For example, I never said I could hit a 186 yard

Of course you did. You even went so far as to say it wasn't a
difficult shot even though it now has gone down as one of TWs
greatest.

I know you can't. But I also know that you implied that you could.
You also know that I wasn't even the first to call you on this.

Greg is easy on you because of your friendship.

LOL. Lots of empty words again. I've certainly responded to you for
years. You just don't like responses that call you on BS.

Oh you make many assertions. No doubt about that. You may even have
corrected yourself, but that percentage is going to be very minimal. I
also know those that would back you up no matter what.

Very few. I take those to task that IMO are liars, hypocrites,
windbags, cheats, bullshitters or duplicitous. You fit a couple of
those types.

As far a contributing, I don't have the background to argue some
areas discussed here. Rather than make a fool of myself I don't take a
stand at times. For instance, you've never seen me arguing the
insurance issue because I know what I don't know. The same with a lot
of political posts. You don't, and just barge ahead on any subject,
because you're a rash, insensitive, boor. That's what you call
contributing.

I can name about a dozen that have left RSG specifically because of
you. Really good guys who are well respected. You've said that
you're glad they left. So its a push with us that I'm happy for
those who may say that they left because of me because IMO they were
probably dolts anyway.

Eleanor Rigby?
I have a ton of people that will be glad to come to my funeral. :-)

I've had a good time in pulling your leg about your Major Hoople
persona here and really hope that you never leave. You're too much
fun to tease...and you never fail to please because you're so
tight-assed.

Love,

BK

You prove my point with every post you make. You have zero ability to
comprehend what other people say.

FWIW, who cares who comes to your funeral? It's the difference you
actually make in people's lives while you are on the topside that
counts. In any event, I suspect a number of people might show up at my
funeral if such an event were to happen, although I specifically don't
want one. They are a total waste of time and money. Living people have
better things to do than worry about dead people. Nothing dumber than
being so consumed with your social popularity that you obsess over how
many people will show up at your funeral.

All you have ever offered on RSG is hostility, and you continue to
offer it. I make numerous assertions, and am more than willing to
discuss them, and that is what these newsgroups are supposed to be
about, and I have learned a lot from people who do in fact see things
differently than I. You, OTOH, enter legitimate discussions with the
idea of taking the sides of your virtual "friends", and destroy the
threads. You offer nothing substantive, and do nothing but drive up
the negativity meter on any and all discussions, and I know many, many
people who have left here because of that negativity. I have been part
of that, BTW, and admitted and apologized for it (which is the
principal reason you direct hostility my way), but you are it's
personification.

If you didn't make hostile comments, in general, about other people,
you wouldn't have much to say about anything. Your record on this
board speaks for itself. All anyone has to do is search for "Bobby
Knight" and start reading. I am no angel, and I should not respond to
your hostility at all, because the responses themselves are hostile,
but that would be like telling a bully you aren't going to fight
back...just invites the bully to be more of a bully.

You apparently did... ...a moment ago.

Nice deflection there...

....you were the one that brought it up as if it said something.

Has anybody claimed that *anything* or *anyone* was all that is good
in golf?
