For twelve years here, after several years of the same on other such forums, I've taken a lot of pretty nasty flak from guys who've never laid eyes on me.

� It is hard to believe that someone would send you any nasty flack.
I'm guessen that type of person you would not want in your home. "That type of person" isn't just and only that way. He has other characteristics as well, hopefully nicer. As the late Reverend Edgar A Howell used to put it so well, "No single characteristic of a person is the totality of that person."
"Good enough" isn't.

I wish I had the time/money to make the trip again.. That was a fun time - and I was privileged to meet a bunch o' nice members.. Just can't get there this year unfortunately.. And like another poster said, it's my loss.  But I hope pics will appear afterward of the gathering...

I'm guessen that type of person you would not want in your home. I predict that nobody who'll take me up on my invitation will act like that in person.

What can you do when you ask a fellow � privately, candidly � where we got cross-threaded and get no response? Some people find sport in shooting, some in golf, but others find sport in being contrary and objectionable. Hard to reason with such a mind, and hard to fathom a soul that is so distorted, but they are amongst us.

Ken,
What was your doctoral dissertation in Hermeneutics on? Somehow, I don't think that that's appropriate grist for this here mill. Drop by some time if you really want to discuss the matter. I think that I have copies of all the writings that I did for for the ThD and the PhD. (The seminary went bankrupt before I finished the latter curriculum.) 17 Church Street isn't hard to find. Heck, no address in Quemado is hard to find. Nor is wee Quemado itself, for that matter.

if there were some federales amongst us, maybe they could offer some suggestions as to how to apply for a federal grant for travel expenses for an artistic gathering?
lot's of people, rainbow type in particular, enjoy federal lands on which to romp.
could federal funds be expended to encourage the "average" citizen to join others of the same type, in New Mexico??
we've got Ga. NG on the Borderlines in Texas. who's on the Borderlines in New Mexico? anyone know for sure??

Hard to reason with such a mind, and hard to fathom a soul that is so distorted, but they are amongst us. Boy ain't that the truth. I've found that most people like that, in person, aren't nearly as mad or objectionable as they thought they were,.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

For twelve years here, after several years of the same on other such forums, I've taken a lot of pretty nasty flak from guys who've never laid eyes on me.
Let's remedy that.
Come sit down with me for several minutes, in my home or at one of our gatherings, any time you like, 24-7-365. Don't tell me who you are or what you're here for � let's just chat a bit, about anything that you choose to talk about � guns, hunting, politics, Christianity, writing, English, or all of these.
Then if you still want to tell the world that I'm � however you want to put it � a son of a bitch, scum, whatever � go right at it. Presumably, you'll have a bit more to go on.
Door's open. So'm I. WTF???????What am I missing here???? 
Its all right to be white!!

This thing just keeps gettin' better 'n' better. Maybe you 'n' Mickey C can come out here togther. Or maybe some other Alabum, even if he's from an institution in Tuscaloosa or Atmore.

The only thing I garner from this thread is that Ken H misspelt the name of the fellow he was calling out.

Didn't know or suspect that there'd be a guy with the screen name "nemesis," let alone that there might be more than one nemeses. So whom should I have addressed my invitation to? Fleas? Gnats? Mosquitoes? Earwigs? Now I'm really up a winter stump! (With apologies to "nemesis," of course! 'Scuse me all over the place � to Hell, to Boston, to Baltimore, and back!)

Don't go 'way mad or with your feelings hurt. Let's just both be happy that my invitation doesn't pertain to you. You'll be happier NOT knowing the situation, I assure you.
