Richard, down here we have to enjoy the full day of spring, it seems we go right from winter to summer, it is suppose to be in the 80's next week. I was down at the barn today and our renters were setting up a new planter, so corn will be planted by the weekend.

Yeah, they're planting full speed up here. Still freaks me out when I see the GPS guided tractors going thru the field with the steering wheel tilted up and the driver sitting with his legs crossed relaxing. I was gradin next to a couple today. I gotta take a few minutes and ride with them once. Our renter has five computer monitors in his tractor.

Interesting turn a thread on courtesy has taken... just sayin

... personal attacks through defamation (which probably includes demonstrably false assertions) of folks without naming them is not considered to be a sign of "good manners" ...
Sorry, I'd think a personal attack would include a name and be more than a casual reference (no more) elsewhere.

In order to evaluate who might be "following" who in the specific context you are referring to, it would probably be wise to evaluate who was participating in this thread first.

While my first post in this thread is gone, one can see from someone else's clear reference to that first post earlier in the thread, what the actual sequence/order was ...
Don't know where your 'first post' went, but I might have hit the 'like' button on #44 'cuz I was with you there. Myself, I try to generalize (posts #33, #59) hoping no one with a clear conscience would take something too personally. I'm not trying to pick a fight with rswyan or anybody, and have dodged a few brickbats when my smileys might have been poorly chosen.

illusory corollary ...
I like big words, used to brag 'cuz I could spell so many, even when way off on definitions. Feel free to call me a sarcastic ironist, tho' all this is with 'sarcasm off'.

Yes - I am ...
Stalking me? Cool. :) If anyone else deserves as much it's news to me. Not much of a fighter here, just someone who hopes to make peace now and then, and has taken lumps for many attempts. (Sarcasm on) "Like my manners? Call 1-800-takes one to know one." :D

btw: any one who wants a crack at me can start with some racist, ethnic, or geographical stereotype s__. Boy, that'd get me going since IMO there's one superior race and it's the human race. We're more alike than we might accept, but all the rest are framin' animals. (Givin' ya something to work with?) Take this anywhere you like with my blessing. tog

No apology necessary ...

When an attack is directed at an individual or a person - whether they are named or not - rest assured, it is personal ...

Some folks are largely inclined to directly confront and address individuals ... other folks, well not so much ...

Up to each individual to figure out what's that all about ... but I have far more respect for the former, than I do the later.

If you can demonstrate and make the case for how it is (sarcastic ironist) I might :D

Stalking me? Cool. :)
No - you misunderstand - what I was saying was: I am flattered ...

;)

Complaining about courtesy is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the people you're complaining about.:thumbsup:
