That would be an interesting thread: "XXX mentioned in YYY first in
RFC".

"TIAD mentioned in 1875 first in RFC" (Sheldon's old as the mountains)

I wonder if that's how Popeye found out about it.

Oh puleeeze don't encourage the bowser. He's talking about Krystal's, a
fast food burger joint vs. White Castle, not Crystal Palace vodka.

BTW, where do you get off calling Sheldon "Popeye"? You are quickly
adapting the manners of the trolls.

He said " Crystal Palace", not "Krystals". That's a large enough typo
to confuse anyone. I've only been to a "Krystals" once, so that's not
something that comes to my mind (it was hardly edible to begin with).

First off, Sheldon dishes plenty of it out. Do you miss all of his
nasty and/or disgusting rants directed at people for no apparent reason?
I've had enough of these directed at me, for *NO* reason, that I feel
that I'm allowed to dish it back. Sue me.

Secondly, who gets to define who is a "troll"? If you want to play this
game, I can play back. Where do you get off on commenting on every
single one of John's posts? I *REALLY* don't care to see it, and I roll
my eyes every time, but I try to point it out *very* sparingly, because
everyone has a right to post what they want, despite whether other
people care to see it.

Moral of the story: If you're going to dish it out, you ought to expect
it in return. I always start off respecting people first, until I'm
disrespected enough.

Where do you get off defending the biggest racist and homophobe of
RFC? And by that I mean Popeye.

Finally, the boy has grown up and starts rebelling against his
domineering mother. Soon he will leave the safety of his mother's
skirt and start a life of his own.

(Rolling eyes at Jill) I don't even think he cares.

Especially since everyone else keeps going on like that, why not you too?

She might be sick of all the back and forth.

I treat people on Usenet the same as I do in real life. It's not easy
to display jokes, emotion, and a nudge-wink via text; not as easy as it
is in person. In a way, you people as a group, have "broken" me a
little bit. Bunch of nut cases, the lot of you.

Jill has *always* assumed that power, and she does her best to
enforce it. Sometimes she discriminates by the person, which is
certainly proper. Sometimes she discriminates by the news server.
Like when she went on a frenetic campaign against aioe. *All aioe
posts are trolls*

To her credit, she tried unsuccessfully to get rid of the dutch
master druce. (the GHE man) I actually hoped she would succeed, but
that asshole is like a bad case of cancerous VD.

One thing for you to remember: She *LOVES* Popeye. Even after he
kept calling her late at night and telling her that he wasn't
married, and he just wanted a little pussy.

She whined about it, but only for a day or two. Then, all lovey
dovey again.

BRAVO...!!!

;-D

And Jill can be just as bad as John with obsessing here about her personal
stuff... for decades we've been hearing about her parents' estate and all the
attendant drams with the HATED brothers, her love life, her feuds with various
posters...

Jill's latest nonsense was congratulating herself for an amazing ONE YEAR on
a job...

I mean, *really*...??? That's about akin to John always proclaiming/bragging
about his "jobs" (which of course never pan out)...

And then the schoolgirl nonsense about gifting her work peeps with the CHEEP
Hershey's kisses, and the crowing about the paltry dime - store s'mores "gift" she received from her employer... cringeable - but VERY entertaining! - to read...

AND she is always ragging on Bryan for his "feud" here with John, but WHO spends much
of their time here replying to and commenting on John's posts - HMMMM...???

She's simply an entitled "Karen" type, she *absolutely* lacks the capacity for ANY
self - awareness or self - reflection...

"Lol"...

White Castles come from a Castle, but Krystals don't
come from a palace.
