“Mean people are just bitter about something...

Makes them feel better to be mean.”

“i hate those grinich mean people....”

“You challenged people for proof of your mean spiritedness above. The only times I have addressed you directly was in good political debate. I offer the following as the proof you seek:
Your part follows cheap shot artist # 1's post...

Yeah, I married her. I am happy to say that I did so more than 15 years ago and we are still going strong and getting tighter every day. I have two kids with her and they still live with their original parents, us. With marriages in the toilet in the good ole USA, I am proud of the fact that i am not lumped into a category with all the poor bastards who have to dole out child support and alimony and have to wrestle with weekend visits with their kids.

And, while we are on the subject of cowards who don't have their facts straight, there's a good reason why you never read my e mails, Op-ster. I never sent you one in my life. I posted a few comments towards you some months ago in an effort to get you to back off the pot shots at Mpaleleaf. You didn't respond (which didn't surprise me). Since then, I have never directed as much as one remark towards you, barring this one. I don't know you, but judging from some of your posts, I would be willing to bet that the fact that I am from New York is strikes one AND two against me in your mind. Irregardless, I have made a conscious effort to 'live and let live' here. I keep myself separated from you as I feel there's plenty of room here for both of us to co-exist. Just, the next time you take a cheap shot at me, get your facts straight!”

“uhm,,,,,"irregardless" is not a word...”

“funny I never realised it was a double negative.....”

“Thanx, Chili. I'll remember that...”

“It's a word, and it's in the dictionary. It's not "proper", though.”

“Just like 'flammable' and 'inflammable'. They both mean the same thing...”

“Chill, bearddude. Don't you realize you're just adding fuel to the fire? That cat's not worth it.

I'm sorry you and maple didn't make it to RRG. I'd like to meet y'all some time.”

“I know you are probably right. I was wrestling all weekend with saying something like I did. Maple told me not to get into it. I know that was probably the right advice too. But, it was a reaction to action. I said what I said and don't intend to add another syllable to it. I don't want to make this into a forum for negativity. I don't expect a response anyway, and it's just as good. As far as meeting up, Maple and I would love to meet you. You sound like a really good guy. Where are you located?”

“North-central Alabama.

LOL, it's easy to get caught up in the moment. Listen to me, giving advice on holding yer mud (chuckle). I am a pretty nice guy...well, most of the time.”

“Keep that mud flap on!”

“LOL, FG said nice.”

“Now if we could all get in on that group hug...”

“Maybe this will help people to understand the Trees a little better. I posted it this morning on the drinking expedition thread.

"For those who do not know it, the Trees, in the aftermath of 9-11, gave freely of their time, volunteering to provide assistance to emergency workers. We all have our fun with New Yorkers, but my hat will always be off to not only those who died there, but the way New Yorkers responded to that tragedy. The Trees personify that reaction. It was something larger than patriotism or jingoism, it was a labor of love and caring, of reaching out in a time of crisis to do what had to be done in any way they could help."

We all have our strengths, and we all have our weaknesses. We all say things that grate on others, but let's not stoop to dumping on people who happen to be fine human beings. Until we meet and learn about one another, we really don't know what we are talking about when we get into analyzing somebody's character.

There are, of course, those who demonstrate beyond any doubt that their character is either non-existent of wanting. But the Trees are not those people, and they never will be.”

“Free...: watch out for those wandering hands during the group hugs.

Geo: Nicely put.

Mean can also be funny, but its usually at someone's (which is what makes it mean). I gotta admit though, I did crack up when I saw a bumper sticker that said:

"NO, YOU SUCK! - THE MEAN PEOPLE!

Anyway, its an honor to be a target of Bacpac's attacks... so don't take it too hard Maple.”

“Maple is damn hard wood!”

“He he. Tom said "hard wood."”

“I know that feeding a fire is not always good, but I understand Treebeard's need to answer such insulting comments about his wife. I admire the relationship that the Trees have and think that their loyalty to each other speaks volumes. People have the right to disagree with posts on this site, but not to make unprovoked degrading comments aimed at other posters.”

“I thought mapleleaf was single. I never knew that she was married. My response was a reaction to my surprise and was a coarse attempt at humor.

At the time it did not seem inappropriate based upon the '#&%!$' comments address towards me in that thread. In hindsite I recognize that inflection, tone and facial expressions that are abscent on a chat board have caused my comments to be characterized as mean.

Actually I think that Phaedrus was stewing in his own self pity and took it apon himself to make a mountain out of a mole hill to massage his own bruised and fragile ego.

In closing allow me to say.

#&%!$ the French.”

“I saw a poster of saddam today on CNN-somebody spray painted "MEAN People SUCK! on it!!!”

“Was this in Brooklyn by any chance?”

“LOL! I think it was East LA!”

“East LA people have cleaned up their language!”

“LOL!”

“GOEBEET PLEASE REPORT TO THIS THREAD.

THANK YOU
THE NICE PEOPLE AT TT.”

“mapleleaf some one who has your mouth isnt nice!

“Do I suck if I call my wife a dog? Damnit, I did it again!”

“WK - I need more info before I can answer. Did you marry outside your own species?”

“nice try there free....

“MAPP

“LOL tree, but you forgot the jewish part.

“I think I married a human?”

“Sometimes all poeple suck!

“THORNTOWN, Ind. (July 30) - A woman who authorities said called the parents of a missing girl and claimed to be their long-lost daughter was charged Wednesday with committing a cruel hoax.

``We don't know what her motivation was and it is impossible for us to guess. We live in an age today where people like to receive attention,'' said state police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten.

Donna L. Walker, 35, of Topeka, Kan., faces a felony charge of identity deception and a misdemeanor charge of false reporting. Her whereabouts were not known on Wednesday, authorities said.

Walker called the parents of Shannon Marie Sherrill and also is believed to have contacted news organizations to spread word about the possible break in the case, Bursten said.

He described her actions as a ``cruel hoax.''

Six-year-old Shannon vanished Oct. 5, 1986, as she played hide-and-seek outside her mother's mobile home in Thorntown, about 30 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Her father, William Michael Sherrill, broke down in tears during a news conference Wednesday announcing that the call was a hoax.

``I wasn't expecting this at all,'' said Sherrill, who learned about the hoax about 15 minutes before the news conference. ``I thought they were going to bring Shannon in here.''

The identity deception charge carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison, Boone County Prosecutor Todd Meyer said.

``I am very disappointed the case has taken this turn,'' Meyer said. ``The case I want to prosecute was the case of an abductor and the happy ending is the child coming home. Unfortunately that's not the closing argument I get to make.

Authorities had planned DNA tests to determine whether the woman was the child.

Jody Ames, an aunt of the missing girl, said the last several days had been draining on the family.

``It's been a very big roller coaster,'' she said. ``We've been up and down, we've hoped for the best. We still hope for the best. We can only hope and pray.''

Bursten said investigators did not know a motive for the hoax. Walker had given three different fictitious names to investigators in recent days, he said.

Topeka police Lt. John Sidwell said officers there were helping in the search for Walker.

``We've had no contact with the suspect,'' Sidwell said. ``We're continuing to look for her.''

Bursten said he expected Walker would be arrested soon.

``We know who she is, she can't hide forever,'' he said. ``Now the rest of the country will know what she's accused of and what she's done.''”

“That's a pretty $hitty thing to do, Maple. This person has some real issues and doesn't appear to be connected to the family at all.”

“Someone has serious issues and probably wants money. They should imprision her for this.”

“Hey, most people in Kansas are like this. We are bored and consider this high humor. We are tired of calling the grocery stores asking if they have Prince Albert in a can.

(sick joke, forgive me)”

“I heard about this morning on the radio. Disgusting behavior. They should find her and feed her to those African War Ants.”

“It was a sick thing to do.
I hope they plaster her picture on billboards around the country so that she might be brought to justice soon.”

“Unfortunatly nothing will happen to her unless someone accidentally runs her over.”

“unbelievable...”

“Just saw the article in the local paper with her picture. What a desperate way to get attention.”

“this is to all the people that have p!ssed me off for the last couple of weeks. sorry if this offends anyone...
