Past events that i will address.......

Marshall- I had told Leon I was no longer going to respond to you, but the nature of this post dictates I do otherwise.

People who know me know that I have a pretty good sense of humor and that I have no trouble being the butt of a good joke. But what you see as needling I see as poor manners. No matter how funny, politically incorrect, or irreverent you think you might be there is still a need to be respectful and courteous. In that arena your batting average is near zero. If you think calling me Barry Goat is funny may I suggest that stand up comedy is not a good field for you to pursue.

Nevertheless I appreciate your comments and I agree with can all live peacefully on this board. Carry on.

Leave Marshall alone. He's a good man.

This one's for you, Marshall

Alan, I was being complimentary. My father always called me that, and he had unquestionable love for his kids.

Another fine card-related post from poor, misunderstood Marshall.

[oldjudge]

Actually, Barry Goat is kinda funny

[Reginald Marsh]

Another positive response from the king of positive vibes Al C. You see Al the point i was trying to make is that if you have nothing positive to say then do not post. I do not think i am misunderstood, i think a majority of folks understand me quite well. Take Rambo for instance he just had me rolling with his post so it's all good.

Rich.....i understand your point but it does not take a rocket scientist to tell when someone is joking around.

Jay- it's too easy. A good joke takes a little more ingenuity.

[Reginald Marsh]

Ok Barry we all know you cannot take a joke and the route you took in handling it was shall we say cheesy at best, i'm sure your computer keys have cheese all over them. I personally thought Barry Goat was hilarious but since your so ultra sensitive and your skin is about as thick as say a E121 i stopped joking around and have since stopped calling you that. By the way oh how dare anyone make fun of me i did not see you apologize to Dick for making false assumptions in regards to him marketing and selling a product which was out of line but ohhhhhhhhhh.........that's right your like so ultra cool that you are allowed to talk smack and get away with it.

So much for apologies.

Barry Sloate has to be about the easiest guy on the whole board to get along with-- if you can't do it, that says something about you, and it's not good--

I think everyone here understands you, Marshall, and that is very much the point.

You're happy to suggest that someone who has nothing positive to say should not post, but you're not content to take your own advice. What could have served as a nice try at an apology instead came off as another self-serving rant that placed the blame at the feet of those people who are offended by your inane yammering.

It could have gone like this:

MARSHALL: I'm really sorry for being insensitive and coming off like an idiot; I really enjoy this community and I'd like to be a part of it.

COMMUNITY: Well, okay, we'll give it another shot.

Instead, it goes like this:

MARSHALL: If you don't like the things I say, then you shouldn't listen, and you definitely shouldn't take offense because I'm only joking.

COMMUNITY: (anger)

But you don't get it, because there's clearly something wrong with your digestive system which is causing your intestinal gas to back up into your brain.

Aside from prattling on about your peace pipe cards and your hundred-dollar auction, I have seen absolutely zero useful, on-topic posts from you. You exist solely to type irritating and insulting things, pull the board off-topic, and generally get people pissed.

So yeah, I'm irritated that you're here again. You're like the Swine Flu - nobody wants you but you keep coming around, when you're here you get everyone all uptight, but really you're just a headache and some mucus.

Edited to add: I'm not one to attack people personally or even start fights on message boards. Anyone who might be wondering where this post is coming from, I urge you to find some of Mr. Barkman's jabs at Joann, and then ask how someone who could be so crude toward such a respected contributor to this board could possibly be allowed to remain here.

Has Joann been posting? Have not seen her here for a while.
