One other thing we, as RHP Members, have to be thankful for is the absence of public clowns (those miscreants who would seek to promote
toxic concentrations of the shallow, tawdry, peculiarly ugly, tasteless and abbhorent or to standarize the cheap and the shoddy or to cause
dysfunctional frictions and unrest) whose compensato ...[text shortened]... or granted. Such clowns always attempt to smash decency with a clenched fist.

Dear Ragnorak,
Continuing our face to face air cleaning conversation, earlier today on another thread, regarding your criticisms of and objections to this one,
let's get a few things straight. We've already clarified and established that the focus here is the nasty human condition in RHP microcosm,
not specific individuals. One doesn't mince words with those he cares about. Submit that only a public clown would take umbrage or offense.
Your almost friend,
gb

It's okay, GB, the clowns couldn't hang with my analogy, either. 😞
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI have no objection to you starting this thread to cause trouble and promote name calling (as evidenced by suzianne's, VR's and other's posts in this thread), while hiding behind generalities.

If you choose to start threads with the intent to stir up trouble amongst the RHP community, that's your business and Russ'.
What I took umbrage with was your dishonesty and hypocrisy in calling out Crowley for starting a similar thread to this one.
The dishonesty is evident even in the post I quoted. If you want to call me toxic, ugly and abhorrent, just come out and say it.

over something as minor as a two letter word omission bears no resemblance whatsover to this thread. Please cease and desist from
inserting yourself into the conversation. It's not about you per se and nobody's called you any names. Hypersensitive behavior is pitiful.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyPersonally, I feel strongly that you should tackle the issue head on and call said "clowns" out in an open and straight forward manner. Generalizations lead to broader offense and umbrage (this is often the technique I use to troll the forums, well done).

Originally posted by Hand of HecatePatterns of behavior (not individuals) is the only issue. We're all guilty by varying degrees. The innocent may excuse themselves from the room.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyAs you mentioned, there are no innocents. I still recommend that you confront the individual rather than the group.

Consider this failure analysis if you will. Suppose you have an expensive piece of equipment that is working below its expected efficiency or otherwise exhibiting abhorant behaviour. You typically wouldn't make a sweeping generalization that the item is junk and discard it for new. One would expect you to diagnose/isolate the problem, address the requirements for fixing the problem and take appropriate action. Addressing you concerns with individuals is much like trying to fix or improve a particular component and get the unit back up and running.
Consider this though, just because one component fails, does not mean that it is the root cause of the failure. Secondly, if a pattern of routine failure emerges, one must consider that the unit may be misapplied. You may be expecting more from the unit than it is capable of. Afterall, one doesn't race an old Econoline van full of Mexicans against a Mustang convertible full of hot, topless college girls on the way to spring break.
Hopefully this has been a suitably obtuse for you.

1) It lends credence to the otherwise clearwater revival 2) Obtuse and deliberate 3) degenerate and notwithstanding the deliberate obfuscations quite succinct nevertheless.
GB take heart from this that those around you are also willing in times of trouble to engage in a rigorous, emblematic, unselfish motivation toward fulfilled, succinct, uncharacteristic selflessness that personifies the heart of what we all have sincerely, un-righteously and unmotivatedly denied for too long.
