doggy,
first of all....im not a union rat...one thing you have to learn is...IF NOT FOR UNIONS....the working man wouldnt have half of the stuff we have now.... meaning...the rate of pay union and non union for specilzed job fields get payed....beniftes....sick days.... personal leave days.... vacation... the list can go on and on...we would all be working for minimum wage and no benifits....
as for many ranting about a union was my distrust for the UTU...... and that comment was made in the ricky gates posting.... no here....as for your personal attack on my english...dude...people in glass houses shouldnt through stones...take a look at yours.... and besides..my typeing and spelling my not be 100% but my postings make sence when you read them....yours have been nothing but the ramblings of a kid for days now...
i had no intention of turning this into a flamewar.... my oppions in the ricky gates fourm where for genreal reading...not you a personal attack aginst you..... but you seem to think that eveytime i post something... its a personal attack..... get over yourself.....most of my prevouse postings where not personal attacks..but you seem to want to make this personal.... the ball is your court.... you want to keep turning this fourm into a war zone...hell...bring it on.......

Doggy- Larry is trying to say the cinders are being stirred again to create a fire. You do not have to answer each post you agree with or diagree with right away. Take some time to think about how important your response may be and stop making a personality contest of it. The number of post you make are not as important as consideration and respect for others. Check your dictionary for the word "antagonist." You do not have to do this every time someone disagrees. CSX98 may disagree with the invasion of rights that the implementation of Rule G provide for. He has stated however; that he follows the rule at work, when driving, etc. He takes responsibility and has a right to his opinion. Please respect it and simply agree to disagree. Thanks for making these posts that we may keep safety forefront in our minds. Making pesonal attacks distract from the topic. A mature person with class knows when to pick a battle. I'm not trying to criticize anyone, I am always prone to outburst and tantrums also. I hope I am learning to do better. Keep aspiring to be all you can be Doggy and thanks again.[soapbox]

Doggy- Here are your instructions,
1. E-mail me, Press that E-mail button, so we can talk.

2. Doggy, i'll explain it to you, Control has been lost in this thread, and it's in an anarchy state right now, So just flow with the Joke.

3. Railfix, is Well Railfix, he babbles incoherently all the time, so don't mind him, and also evedently poses a backgorund which include BA's and PHD, one we know for sure that is in the area of Enlgish, right sir? thats why your grammer sucks then.

I for one don't know English at all, heck, it's not even my First language, and it's either a close Second or a close theird when it comes to italian.. So which one I learned After French- English first or Italian first, we could debate all night over, althoug at a college level Engli***hey do tell you basic sentance structure, and Railfix you take great pride in smashing othger people's sentances down, but i have a look at your posts, and it's like a jumbled up mess, that is very incoherent.

But you see, My English sucks, and i'll admit it, So You see, Once your Slate is clean ma man, Then maybe you ought to post about how bad DG's English is.

Capische? Show me the PHd, and i'll shut up.

Oh and Doggy, number 4.

4. forget all rules you know.

Whoops, almost forgot the Dawg. He was over in the hedges during most of the proceedings, muzzle to the ground, sighing dog sighs ( you know, through the nostrils, stirring up tiny clouds of dust) and looking sad. I couldn't see his usually excitable tail because it must have been hidden from the sunlight. When I would go over to pat his head he would be suddenly preoccupied, looking over my shoulder at the adults he had long thought predictable now acting so crazily!!! Kept cocking his raised head to the left and then lowering it to the astroturf, inconsolable. I hope we hear his frivolous yelps again soon. Get well and literate Doggy!!!
Grist for the mill Kevin:.process it!!!

Hello Doggy, it's me Rixflix, the evil McCarthy communist. Stalin was an intrinsically bad person, Lenin I could probably have had a nice chat with, but friends think I'm a Trotsky-ite.That McCarthy though, he was the worst of them all. .
Seriously, when you put up the "Do You Support Rule G" topic, I burst out laughing before even opening it. Kinda like asking a suffocating person, "Could I capture your interest by offering you a little air?'
So, after 10 or 15 people sincerely replied to your fatuous question, i couldn't stand it anymore and the devil made me knock in "No No No". I'm rather happy with that effort. Somebody here nailed it when they coined "sarcasm/satire" because it was intended as both. I can' t give everything away, so look 'em up!!! They sort of overlap but mean different things I see some of you grasped the point I was making in "No". People don't think that way but they do act that way, with consequences for us all.
Oh yeah, speaking of sincere, criss-cross my heart. I don't hate or dislike anyone here.
I just like to tweak someone'.s sensibility now and again and toss incendiaries when a situation requires. Doggy, I'm just trying to blow-dry the wet behind your ears, like a caring mare .
Uh-Oh, here it comes again!!!
Dogs, ask your teachers about remedial english or english as a second language. It would be a good summer project. I hope it isn't too late because you have expressed some good stuff in the forums. It would be a shame if you wound up like too many people these days, hard wired into the internet but going too fast to communicate any kind of subtleties of thought or emotion because they were never taught poor, simple, pen and paper, i.e. reflective, language. I could go into speaking clearly here, but I won't. for now. Before you hit the Submit button, review your post, see if that's the way you want to present yourself and edit!!!
Would you go to meet your girlfriend' s parents with your fly down?
Here's a quick poke: if you are not 12 years old (my favorite age if I had to be there forever) and are 22, 38, 57 (mine), or 88 (my dad's) you may be in trouble. My own 27-year old son is a piece of work right now and I guess I'm feeling particularly fatherly this afternoon. Love, Peace, Serenity from Rick
My first paragraph up there was Sarcasm and so was the second language thing!!!!
Let's see now.....Kevin, your tag team tactics never fail to amuse. Don't you know that McMahon and his stable all live convivially in El Rancho Muula-Muula? I hear it looks like like a trailer park from the air.
Hawaii, Florida, California, just outside of Queens? It's hard to tell, but it might be Quebec. Ask your doctor about Viag... oops, I meant Paranoia. In it's early stages it can be cured. In later stages you're most likely a nut case. Congratulations from a member of the Nut Club. Here's a hug!!!
CSX, did you know we were briefly (I hope) on a tag team together with the shadowy dharmon vs. Doggy and Kevin? I felt sorry when you replied to my criticism of your spelling and am sorry now. I do love you as you are. OK? Still, I think your thinking on the Ricky Gates thing is from outer space unless you grew up as a radical Union man. I don't know, but I'm sure we'll talk.
Back to railroading. There's about to be a big rack attack over on the CSX in Ivy City!!!
I am really sore from riding a high horse
which is actually a camel
forever yours
Rick

Yes Stalin was a bad person but I wnat to apolgize to you for what I said also about that engli***hing what were you talking about so lets move on.

Trust me on this one Doggy, there not Communists.
Thats a bit too far.

But they do scare me, like i said, There style of posting is bizarre, thats for sure.




Well,

My cut would be that Doggy and CSX got bad blood from thier little tantrums on the Rick gates thread.....Rix, I'm fairly sure doens't care one way or anyother.....he's making an observation based on Doggy's writing style and choice of topics.....

Hey TROLL boy..BaltACD...chill hoss ...big difference between a troll and tossing some sarcasm/satire out there.......

The nice and bad thing about the internet is that you are just screen names and that's it...CSX could be a CSX engineer, he could be a 12 year old kid with a big mouth, heck he could be Doggy's beloved Davison of UP, just screwing with him.....Doggy might be a kid, a drunk an astronaut......who the *&^% knows.....

The only thing that's certain is that y'all are acting like a bunch of kids here..name calling, making accusations with out backing it up, blah, blah blah........

Go ahead flame me.....If you are offended by this then it was directed at you...if you weren't or there's a question in your mind as whether to be offended then it wasn't. I'm done...continue with your games....

dharmon,
I will say I'm a UP fan but I DON'T LIKE DAVISON BUT I DO SUPPORT AMTRAK MORE THAN I DO UP and it was funny. Also I will admitt me and CSX did had tmeper tantrums on the Rick Gates Fiascol but he was pracitly dissing the guy and I thought this forum needed a good debate not complaning about stars

DOGGY

And Peter Ustinov visiting our poolside bacchanal was cool, but after he identified the stuff in the water and the half-buried red white and blue painted tires surrounding it he left in a huff!!! Toga flowing, and that funny little horseshoe of dead plants perched, rather jauntily I thought, sideways on his head.
We heard he later died. Too bad..... a regula G guy.
Ahhhhh, The Rule G Cabana and Plunge Surfing Club, where the lawn ornaments will be OK when they finish sleeping it oft and figure out the dew thing.
That "Yellow Snow" Pernod slushball thingy finished my weekend and perhaps all my appointments until Wednesday. I usually prefer Pernod neat or in the wind. Fade, did you slip me a micky???
At least one of my organs can still get hod. When my liver feels like a brick it whistles and my Ist and 2nd legs come around with a half-box on a stick thing to tote him around a bit.
