Yeah, you should view it as a dirty classless remark and you should defend your spouse. I would. That said, when Rob lies about me, you step aside and hold his coat. I don't remember you seeking fairness or accountability there. Seeking fairness needs to be a standard, not a trump card when you need it. If you are going to play by a rule, be consistent. Don't be two different people or else you are like the house built of straw. Am I guilty, of course. But I haven't been trashing anybody here for a long time.

He travels at least an hour to play golf with this group. Kinda strange, since most people play at nearby courses or clubs, but his decision. It's his life....if you call "perusing other interest groups" (usenet) and living in Texas 24/7.... a life. -Greg

Yeah, you should view it as a > dirty classless remark and you should defend your spouse. I would. Show me where *I* said anything about his wife. Last I looked, Greg did that, not me. Did I bait a hook with fresh raw sizzling lean beef? You betcha! And like a good large mouth, Greg bit, yanked, set the hook and then ran out my entire spool of line all by his lonesome. > That said, when Rob lies about me, you step aside and hold his coat. > I don't remember you seeking fairness or accountability there. That's because GreggiePoo-in-the-Punchbowl doesn't need fairness, he needs attention. Tex

I could have easily said nothing. I'm not a member of your C-list. I don't maintain a network that I can gather around me, either to defend you or rip on Rob. You claimed that I supported Rob about this. Cite please. Show me where I give Rob, you, or anybody blanket support. Recently, I was there defending you about your son. Wasn't the first time. I thank you for speaking up about this moral issue in regards to my wife. Frankly, it's the first time you have ever defended me. Knowing you....having been around Tex a couple of times....you wouldn't like him. There is little difference between his behavior here and the real world. -Greg |
