espee...

Its called bait and switch...he will insult you, then when you point it out, he says all he is doing is telling the truth...and makes noise like he is being reasonable...then, if you are foolish enough to respond to him again, he insults you again..its how trolls get their jollies...

Narrow mind, big gut...lonely, bitter person with nothing worth while in his life other then the arguments and fights he can pick.

Thanks on the sig [:D], been a fan of it for several years now, looking forward to the movie but with reservations, it looks like they've really deviated from the original storyline and usually, that ends up badly.

Jim, I wish you'd said earlier that the spitting thing happened in Kileen. That answers a lot of it.

Chad,

I think you need to go back and read the thread from start to finish. I didn't start this discourse. But by god I'll finish it, and as a matter of growing up, you need to grow up. The world is filled with different points of views, and if your not adult enough to except that, maybe you need to go back to school. I have not called anyone posting here a name!

He started this, and the other threads, because he needed a place to run up his posting count.


Hey, wet behind the ears, I could give a *** about my posting figures. One should not assume stuff.

QUOTE: Most of the time, when he replied to any other thread, it dies, because he interjects his rabid anti Bush sentiments into it...therefore giving lie to his claim that all he wants to do is pass on railroad related news.


When I reply to a thread it is either stated as fact or opinion, it is always obvious!

QUOTE: What he really wants to do is blow his own horn...and he seems to be a master at blowing....horns and whatever else he can find.


Yep, I do blow a horn for good old republican values. Yes, I also tot my own horn too, I have an ego, and enjoy when folks read my narratives and view supporting photos. Gosh, is this now a crime under the TSA right-wing?

QUOTE: As for being spit on in Texas, the instant he opened his mouth...well, that should be self explanatory...


One of the fellows unloading my truck asked me where I was from, I answered him, other than that never said another word. But, apparently in Texas during 1971, this was enough to cause others working with him to spit on me.

QUOTE: Jim, next time you in Texas, trust me, we would all be glad to expedite your travel to the border, the tar and feather are free, on the house so to speak!


After being spit upon in Killeen, Texas - I don't think I'll ever spend a vacation moment in that place!


QUOTE: By the way, I noticed you seem real proud of being around heavy equipment...noticed in your bio photo you seem to take your heavy equipment with you every where, and your right, it must require a lot of skill to get that beer gut close enough to the dinner table to trap all the food before it falls in your lap.
Wait, you don’t have a lap...oh well, you know, waste not, want not!


Wow! Yep, I'm not so trim anymore, but when you get older, you'll understand such things really are not important.

QUOTE: Scott, by now you might have realized that Jim, and a few others, are nothing more than forum trolls, they surf forums, looking for places to espouse their politically rabid views, or just simply pick a fight, because most of them have no life outside the monitor...for obvious reasons.


The "liberal media," which is funded by conservative companies will never tell the truth, being old, I feel an obligation to give an alterative view. Sorry my view doesn't represent your ideal view of America. But, Isn't wonderful, that we can have different views and still be patriotic to the home land!

QUOTE: If you read his, and the others posting, what you come away with is the basic "What Jim did on his summer vacation" or the “I don’t understand what your saying, so I will call you stupid to get a response" style of posting.


Yep, that is exactly how I write stuff, I do it in the first person, sorry that turns people off, I'm glad 20 or 30 people read my reports. I report things for my need to communicate.

QUOTE: Note that even when he trades insults, his skill level is barely above the standard high school adolescent level.

To quote his original start to this thread, note he first insulted the thread Dan created, called it crap...


Gosh, went up to the top, didn't see what you where talking about, maybe you need to get drug addicted like that Russ Limbaugh guy, you no, that moral searchlight to the right that was buying drugs from southern illegal.

QUOTE: He then turns around, and in a sideways manner claims his postings are quality postings about railroading, but within three further posting, he is bashing GW Bush, or making some other political statement, often so out in left field as to be incomprehensible...babble for babbles sake.


Yep, I certainly understand babble, GW BUSH does a lot of that!

You know how it works; ask yourself a question, just so you can answer yourself in the next posting, therefore upping your posting count....

Which, of course, is the real point to Jim having started this thread in the first place, it gives him a place to rant, rave, and generally show off his lack of skills or grasp of any issue that doesn’t directly involve him...you know, like food, beer, ...food...ummmm, beer...heavy equipment, union membership, more beer...you know, his kind of topics.


Uh, Jim...about that quality issue;
Any plans on including even a little bit in any one of your posts?

And we dont drive no hunnerd miles an hour...them swamp runner tires get kinda wobbley around 90...

Any we chew 'bacca fer a reason, so we can spit on them pesky Californians...
although I am kinda partial to Wintergreen Skol...make better spit!

Now, about that BBQ pit...ya got any house in paticular?

We could put a dance floor where the driveway was, and a bandstand in the back yard...if ya can find a house in Texas with a basement, that is...

Might even find a catchy name for the place, ya know, like Gilley's....

Interesting thing about Bush passing bills.

First, according to the Constitution, the President doesn't pass bills, he can only sign them or veto them. It's up to Congress to pass bills. Presidents can promote or initiate legislation, but it's up to Congress to pass them.

Second, Bush has not vetoed one bill in his entire 4+ years in office. Quite astonishing really. I wish he would veto some spending bills.

And about Texans. It was another Texas president, Lyndon Johnson, who gave us a big chunk of the welfare state/government bureaucracy that you seem to be a proponent of. So maybe you should think twice before messing with Texas.

Besides, the Bush family is really from New England anyway. John Kerry/Ted Kennedy country.
