What would you label it as then? I think anticipating is pretty fair...I'll let the reader decide.

I agree, you won't see me doing that...just my personal standard. I think your past behaviors negate any qualities of moral judgement you posess about criticizing others behavior around here -- that's all.

People who didn't know the context couldn't take it as an insult to your wife because of that fact, so cannot have been made to think any less of her. So you thought the best thing to do was to make sure they could see it as an insult... -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling four feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard."

Is it ok with you to insult one's wife within this forum or any other. That's the issue. Your answer is...... -Greg

It's in the context of life expectancy and what one should do with their remaining years.

If that's the case, then you should be careful about passing judgment towards me. Cowardice and betrayal rank high on my list of negative behaviors. You are foremost in both categories. -Greg

Spending your retired years monitoring usenet >groups is a pathetic waste. Some people might think it is a pathetic waste to purchase a large boat and drive it up and down the nearest waterway. Some people might think it is a waste to spend hundreds of dollars organizing and hosting a golf event. Some people might think it is a total waste to walk around the woods taking pictures of wildlife. Some people might think it is a total waste memorizing the words to "Scotland the Brave." Some people might think it is a total waste to play the guitar or trombone. Some people might think it is a total waste learn to fly an airplane. Why is it for you or anyone else to decide the right way for someone to spend their time? Personally, I think boating is about the most boring thing in the world but you seem to enjoy it so why on earth would I insult your chosen pasttime unless I bear a grudge against you and do it just to be mean spirited? -- jvdp http://www.rsgcincinnati.com |
