So, basicly, your picking fights on this forum so you have an excuse to make postings to yourself to get you posting numbers up?
Eight postings up, you wanted to "move on" yet you keep making comments on this thread...

Sorry, davezee and dtomajko, but I was off for a weekend of super post-marital bliss with my ex-marital and couldn't supervise the property as I had wished to.
Too bad you happened by when you did.
I know the Topic drew you in because of it's silly question. "Do you support Rule G?"
Would anyone support Rule FF ( Feel Free to F...k Off While on Duty)?
It' a ridiculous question deserving a ridiculous reply and if you disregard the usual locusts around these forums like... well, no sense stirring 'em up again....the undecipherable ranters, the rest of the thread becomes clear. When I posted "No, No, No", it was intended to puncture the whole thread, attract the more sentient of us (after all!) train lovers and turn the whole shebang into a club of vicarious boozers who can laugh at ourselves a bit. The more serious-minded should go to other threads.There are plenty of them and all here are serious enough about safety when we go there. While we lay back here and... what's that csx?...lol?...me too.
Oh, no!!! Please no more locustsIII
If you and Kevin could act your age(s) then Doggy may avoid your Path of Perdition!!!
Guess I'll have to help my sponsor with this stuff and I hope he won't tell me to CSMO!!!
Fire Base Casey, can you bring in a little Pee down here, we're packing six bags and hardware items from the motor pool and mailing 'em down the slope!!!
Mookie, if you'd been a fly on the wall in that B&B we'd have to go back, move the clock hand forward, and wake you up. Fill you in later on the spicy parts.
Resurrection, redemption was what He offered us, who killed Him.
Easter.

Another beautiful morning here on the prairie. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming and our duplex neighbors kept me up all nite. Have about 3 hours of sleep behind me -
so don't recommend we continue this fight. Let's all behave like ladies and gentlemen and get on with the business of running a proper forum or as Kevin knows from a long time ago..........................................................the Mookie will be forced to rip off a few heads
and pee in the hole!

Now back to a nice, mannerly, informative forum!

Listen up Railfix, you emntioned my name, in a bad way, and because you can't figure thta out for yourself, Big mistake.

Look, should you have a desire to treat people with little to no respect, then try it on someone else, your pathetic little game of verbal tag-your-it, not only is dull, it is for children, evedently, you never grew out of that phase.

Now before i bring myself to your level, i will stop because, reducing myself to your level will soely prove that i have entered an exestential quadrant full of loathing and complete and utter dissrespect for man kind, and wondering what my pittiful and meaningless exisistance is about..

Now to translate into unscientific terms, Like your mom always taught you, if you don't have anyhting nice to say, don't say anyhting at all.

you want to talk about age there, Zigmand? Well, if I was to do a Standerd IQ test on you, you might walk away with a mental age rating of about 10.5 to maybe 12 years of age, And you certainly demonstrate that on the forums.

Now i will battle with you, come hell, high water, tempest, tornado.. until you back down, and sease to mention my name in a typical "railfix" manor.

If your going to salm soemoen down, why don't you pull a typical "railfix" and take up battle with some 12 year old who can't defend themselves? or are you fresh out?

Remember in "American Grafitti" when the Moose guy says, " This place is for fun." while the Pharaohs are jimmying the pinball machines behind Kurt's back???
Well this place oughta be about fun and not about fighting!!!
For me it's about expiation.
I was never a big fan of Christianity, but me and my ex did dodge into the chapel at our son's treatment center, and I came to believe.....in there.....that I should kick my own shabby recovery program into a higher gear. There was no escaping it!!! I was in a box and Adrian and I won't settlle for a lesser effort.
Didn't mean to get this serious in such an absuird thread, but that's where I am.
Mookie, it was a mostly chaste weekend with some non-sexual massages and a lot of hugs and tears. The B&B was infested with feral cats and one would sleep on the porch and stroll over for ear and (rump-up) back rubs every morniing.
CSX, Doggy, Kevin and UP:::get fresh, renew and toss off those old guises.
Let's get the place tidy and ready for more fun and more flanking fire from your faithful grammar grocer , rixflix.

Kev, I see you posted just ahead of me up there.
So. back track a bit, read my latest ( and any of my) posts.
Then see if you still think I'm a malicious person!!!
'cause I'm not.
"in just such spring, when everything is mud-luscious, the goat-footed balloon man comes around......"
ee cummings never used caps!!! Must have been a precursor of today's computer savvy but hasty illiterates. Guess he was in a hurry too, because madness was approaching..
And I try to mean what I say. I think a bit before rattling the keys, and go back to edit if if the words don't say what I mean.
Nice effort on the prose kiddo, and I'm seeing your thoughts more clearly now. They could be less declamatory however.
Hear the songbirds before dawn, take a deep breath, and laugh out loud!!!

Respectfully,

Yes Dan indeed we did

So Rcik then, if you think your on my side then, which i do doubt, but everyone seems to think so, If you wouldn't mind, could you drop the "Shakespere-on-cocaine" act, and respond like a normal, civilized, human being, so for people like me, who honestly DO have some problems with the english language can succesfully extract the real meaning of your posts.

If you keep responding like that, Honestly i won't know what to think.

Last but not least, Rick, please don't refer to me as "kiddo" again.

You have to say one good thing about this thread. Once we got past the obvious answer to the question, it became quite entertaining, good for more than a few hearty belly laughs.

I as a receiver had a co worker or the pm receiver come to work drunk not been drinking but drunk as a snunk.later on I had a Supervisor come to work drunk.
drinking has its place and its not doing a job as there is no Honor in a fool filled with Alchol ready to explode at anyone or not knowing common sense in time needed.you
on the rails need to be there to work.sadly I grew up seeing Railroad workers who
abused there rights when it came to drinking.
