Or maybe not.

Why does this feel like an American remake of the Fassbinder film
"Ali:Fear Eats the Soul"?

No worries for the soulless.

That's not the point. The election is over, and you're still
feverishly scanning the Internet for political stories and blogs that
conform to your own ideologies. ?Honestly...do you think this is a
productive way to spend your life?

?Do you think foolishly pondering how I spend my life is
a productive way to spend yours?

:Do you think I sit around pondering about your life?

Feverishly.

Nonsense. At first I was concerned about someone I considered a
friend.

You have a seriously flawed way of showing your consideration
and friendship.

I've even received emails from people asking me if you're
okay,

LoL. Typical of you. Discussing your "friends" behind
their back.


since you seem to have really gone off the reservation since the
election kicked up a notch. But if you want to be just another
antagonistic Internet geek, then you're on your own.

Do I antagonize you? Hmmm, yet you've been overtly
trying to antagonize me and I've mostly ignored you.


: Honestly?
:Really? Or is that the debating trade?

Is this a productive moment for you?

If I can get you to tone down the excessively negative and
antagonistic OT posts, then yes. I'm not holding my breath.

Another failure.



?You do make some absurd proclamations.

:About what?

Duh.

About duh?

Whoosh.



I like Adam Carolla's take on all this...to the average guy in
America, politics do not affect everyday living. ?I tend to agree with
this, since my personal ups and downs in life have not matched what's
going with the rest of the country.

?Funny, I was talking with my son and said the same thing to him
when he asked what will happen now. I said taxes will probably
go up, health care insurance may change a bit, and the screeching
on the cable news with political operatives shouting over each
other may calm down a bit. ?But beyond that, nothing much.

:Well, the screeching on RAO certainly hasn't stopped after the
:election.

I know, you really need to calm down.

That makes no sense.

Lack of self-awareness noted.


: I, along with a few others here, was hoping it would. Bret
: Ludwig pretty much posts in a vacuum. You would too, except it seems
: that your trolling skills are much better.

Feel free to displace my threads with more interesting ones.
I wish you all success, truly.

I agree with you that your threads are not interesting.

and your's are rarer still.




Best I can hope for is that the gov't will really enforce fair
trade with China and their gov't fixed currency
?and tell the WTO to go pound sand.
You think that might happen?

: I think a lot is going to happen.

Now you seem to be contradicting yourself.

I don't see that at all.

But a lot
is pretty vague. I breath a lot. Do you breath a lot?
That's bad for the planet but I can't help it.

I made a comment that is vague by design. The point behind it,
however, is not vague at all. Do you see it?

I see a lot of potential points. None very well expressed.


Anyway, you really need to stop thinking you can assess a persons life
from usenet posts. ?That's just way to internet geeky for me.

:Show me where I'm assessing your life.

"you're still feverishly scanning the Internet for political stories and
blogs
that
conform to your own ideologies. ?Honestly...do you think this is a
productive way to spend your life?"

It is an objective observation that you constantly post links to right-
wing blogs.

So far so good.

Then I asked you an honest question which you could not
answer.

Honesty? I missed that brief moment.

There is no assessment involved, but i'm sure others can see
your response and make their own conclusions about your online
persona.


Ah yes, the on-line persona. That thing of yours which
vacillates almost daily.


: I'm talking about what you're
:doing here...spreading bad feelings about the world around us.

OMG...bad feelings. Maybe I should just post lyrics to
Mama's and Papa's songs.

NO. But maybe you should stop talking about how fucked we all are.

You'd prefer ignorant bliss? But for a serious moment, I'm sorry
you consider yourself fucked in this world. It has it's challenges but
I really don't consider myself f'd. Never have. Hopefully never will.
I have seen people who. Some of them in my own extended family
who would be seriously f'd without my support.

You never provide solutions, I noticed.

Drill baby drill.
Bomb bomb bomb Iran.
How about the call for truth in media?
Truth in advertising?
Truth in audio reviews?




Seriously, if you get bad feelings off usenet, time to drop the AOL
account, cable TV, the newspaper and AM radio.

I don't listen to AM radio, read newspapers, and I spend less than an
hour a day watching cable TV (and it's not for news). I do, however,
make a living while online so I have to take the bad with the good.

I doubt usenet is a requirement for publishing a pdf or
a web site.


: Try
:putting some effort into spreading some good feelings.

It's a beautiful sun shiny day in San Diego. Happy now?
No? Try this.

http://pbskids.org/barney/

You certain seem to be threatened by happy feelings.

There you go again with the Dr. Phil stuff.
You seem to be threatened by reality.



?There's nothing wrong with being
interested in politics, or participating in our government. ?But when
you let it consume your everyday life, when you get excited and
frustrated and angry and jubilant and despondent over people you do
not know on a personal level, then you're forfeiting your personal
responsibilities.

? Wow. ?All this from a couple of usenet posts.

:A couple? Really? You mean I've never mentioned this before? You
:mean you've only posted negative threads on RAO TWICE? REALLY?

Calm down Dr. Phil. The election is over. Usenet posting isn't worth
getting all freaked out about. It's not I dressed up in a tutu and stood
outside a polling place or something.

But you did accuse another RAO regular of doing so (of course it was
in a "too too").

I bet he was cute too.

What did you do during the election period for you
fellow man?

Actually, it was for fellow women. We hosted
a single womens entrepreneur event in the garden.
I think poll watching would have been a breeze
compared to the weeks of effort preparing for and
hosting that event. I spent over $500 on food alone
and weeks of labor preparing so these
women could make a few hundred $ selling their
wares.
You want to see someone who's life is fucked?
Talk to a 60 year old lady who is a recovering
alcoholic who has no family and just got out
of recovery trying to restart her life making charms
and selling herb plants at the farmers markets
and swap meets.


?Thank-you Dr. Phil. ?Maybe you can go rescue Britney now. LoL.

:I'm not so concerned with your life as much as how you're bringing
:down the whole group with your naysaying (most of it merely
:regurgitations from other naysayers). That's hardly a Dr. Phil
:attitude.

LoL. You gonna rescue RAO from me? Good luck.
Anyone familiar with your posting history would find this
assertion of a claim to a high road less than credible.
Actually delusional is more apt description.

The idea is not to make RAO righteous or good. It's to make it
entertaining.

Then change the channel. Ignore me.

Obsessive OT posters such as you and Ludwig are pure,
unadulterated drudgery.

an opinion you get to have, but all I see from you is
basically the same crap from a lefties perspective.

And should someone rub you the wrong way..
wow...talk about screeching. Endless rants and barbs
of nothingness and efforts to drive people away.
How many times have you suggested I leave?
How many other people before me have you suggested
leave?
Why do you think it's up to you to decide who
should post here? What the hell is left?

Does anyone ever email you to thank you for
your posts here? Really? Why not?

Actually on occasion when I notice in my rarely
used hotmail account, yes. But those times of
audio discussion are past on RAO and you do
zero to restore them.


?Thanks for your advice but I think I'll do as I please and ignore
your fake pompous righteous zealotry.

:Wow...looks like I hit a nerve.

It your accomplishment of the day.

No, my accomplishment of the day is to enjoy the day and to be
productive. I'm in the middle of writing 10 articles.

and this helps RAO how? Not a bit.
Just more posturing self flagellation.
I'm in the middle of projecting my
state income taxes. Talk about f'd.



?I haven't had anyone claim the authority to give such advice
?since my confirmation. I was 12. ?Thankfully I ignored
that pile of bile, I think I'll do the same with your BS.

:That's fine. It's a shame that I'll have to killfile you as well.

Please don't waste another moment.

Well, I was giving you a last chance to not appear childish, surly and
sociopathic.

LoL. Sorry to break your heart.


I'm sure you'll still be [sic] snidely comments as your [sic] often do.
Maybe a Palin campaign aide is you [sic] next career option.
You do have the persona for it.

Are you upset?

Funny, wasn't it you just chastizing Arny as internet geek
for resorting to exactly what you just did? Yeah, you
do that a lot.


:For someone who thinks they're "saving the group," you certainly have
:no concept of how your comments affect others.

Newsflash. Nothing left worth saving unless you think your silly
Arny spats are worth something.

If that's true, then why are you still here?

Raising hell in the leftist loony bin is fun.

I come to RAO to hang
out with friends and shoot the ***.

Go ahead. I'm not stopping you.

I bet you Arny is here for the
same reason. This is fun. If it isn't fun, you shouldn't be here.

There's always some guy at a party who wants someone
to feel unwanted so they can be in and someone is out.
You're really quite a petty person. Bob's a nut, but
he has you pegged.
