I retired at the ripe old age of 30, but I don't expect you would know
anything at all about how the other half lives.

Is that what you call it when you were institutionalized?
I live in a world of sanity Eddie, not your half.
The staff must be proud of your cheerfull "glass half full" mentality
and that's why they let you online?

Why is it considered virtuous to work like a slave all of your life when
you really don't have to. Just don't get married, don't procreate, don't
buy a house and a new car, etc. It is really quite simple, but most men
are fools and live lives of quiet desperation.


Gee Eddie, who's said virtuous?
It's not called virtuous, it's called rewarding.

I got married, had three sons, bought a house, have new cars, new bikes,
big ass TV,
big ass computer, and other stuff you don't care about, oh yeah, and stuff
for the kids as well.
Started my own business, run my own show, wife started her own business,
runs her own show, make our own lives, ran races, studied martial arts,
teach tai chi,
write, ride bikes. Oh and by the way, we started with zero, no family
money or connections,
no outside help, no special talents except the brains with which we were
born.
It's nice to feel plugged into the world, productive, active and successful.
Saves me having to call myself "the great" and hide my lack of self esteem
by trolling
in newsgroups and calling people names like a preadolescent.

People are generally surrounded by those like themselves and if you find
yourself surrounded
by " characters who are idiots, jerks and assholes" chances are you qualify
for inclusion in that
very same group. Of course since you have imposed yourself on this group
rather than the other
way around those in alt.bike.whatever don't meet that description.

She and I lived in Minneapolis for a few years and the people there tend to
be very nice;
generous, polite and kind. I guess they've been too nice to straighten you
out or is it that
you only share the obnoxious part of your psyche from the secure anonymity
of usenet?
I'm glad though that you've chosen not to marry or procreate, it would
bother me a bit to
know that you'd inflicted yourself on human beings. This is really a better
spot for you
since you are always just a mouseclick away from oblivion.

Well said JP. - Jim McNamara

"You desperately need to stop responding to Vandeman. You are both
one note Johnnys and you have ruined RBS. I was never a one note
Johnny."

These guys can do anything they damn well please, as you can too.

It is you, who needs to desperately stop defending Vandy, he is
capible of doing this by him self.

I am not so much defending Vandeman as I am attacking Curtiss for
being such an all-around jackass. You are right on the edge of falling
into that category yourself. Please put your brain into gear before
you post.


You are a self-admitted asshole and jackass. Why would you need to attack
anyone for those same traits?

I don't not care which 'category' you put me in, I do not care about you
and your silly opinion

I could not respond to the jerk above because the newsgroup headers were all
messed up. I think he might have been using some kind of cell phone. There
were definitely some incompatibilities involved that I could not resolve.

That is good that you do not care because I certainly don't either, not
about you and not about these freaking newsgroups. I have decided you are
not capable of putting whatever little brain you have into gear and so I
shall henceforth lump you in with Curtiss - who as has ever proven himself
an asshole of the first magnitude when he gets off his boilerplate nonsense.

If you don't care about the newsgroups, why do you continue to post to
them? Why is that bright boy?? We don't want you here, and you don't
care about them. Please go away.


Thank you for putting me in the same category as Curtiss, I can see from
his posts, he is a highly intelligent man with a sense on self.

Yes, I am going back to ARBR where the idiots, assholes and morons to be
found there are not down to your low level.

You and Curtiss are both one note Johnnies who do nothing but leech off of
Vandeman like the blood sucking parasites that you are. I have never
encountered two bigger dummies on Usenet.
