History of Social Senior Issues

[then...@gmail.com]

-----
It was about 15 years ago that Russ Weber started this group for senior folks. The average age seems to be in the 70s. We've gotten to know one another through the years and I miss my internet friends.

Now we have a chattering monkey beach boy riding a bicycle and telling us how to save the world. He's either a 19 year old kid with an inflated ego or an obnoxious middle aged man looking for attention.

I just noticed that out of the first 20 threads, he started 14 of them. Why is he so desperate that he has to push a bunch of old folks out of the way so he can post his nonsense?

Is it simply a lack of manners or does he have mental problems? I don't know, but I wish he would go away so all of my friends would return.

[Toci]

I don't think Monkey pushed anybody out of the way. He found an
almost empty group and is using it as sort of a diary, I believe.
Occasionally he gets somebody answering him, but don't do that unless
you want to run the risk of being printed all over the web. Toci

Does your newsreader software have a "filter" function? You could have it simply ignore his posts. Out of sight, out of mind...

Andy comments:
I have noticed also that many of the "old" members of this
newsgroup who soured the milk with their name-calling have
departed also... Perhaps this is how a purging has to happen.

I don't bother with TM since it seems mostly to me like a BM,
but it iS nice to get away from the political mud slinging.
I encourage everyone to simply not post replies to items that
are meant to provoke sensationalism... i.e. ... trolls, in my opinion.

I have been on alt.sixtyplus on and off for years. It is heavily
populated
by Brits and ex-Brits who live in Australia, and they like to "stick
it" to
Americans as much as they can. Currently they are going bonkers
about some conspiracy theory of theirs that I have two identities.

A number of Americans also post there, and there is a big
difference
in the politeness of the posts from them and those from the British
contingency. I think it is probably a cultural thing.

Anyway, it is a hoot.

On a similar subject, have any of you noticed that "GLOBALIST"
seems
to have done a 180 on it's agenda. Before it was anti-white, pro-
Obama,...
.... and now the postings seems to be the other way around.... If
makes
me wonder if the original "GLOBALIST" has been replace by a
different one. No conspiracy theory, and I'm not
complaining, ....just
noting a difference in the agenda.

even live in two different Houston suburbs. Whether you're also blind

I live in Eureka, Texas about 12 miles east of Corsicana, which is

I have driven through Houston twice, on the way to Galveston.

Yes, I knew your doctorate was in something incredibly boring like
science or engineering or maybe statistics. You do have enough of a
sense of humor to step out of character and pretend to be blind in
order to have Janet rethink her presuppositions; if you didn't do that
then you didn't do that. I assume all Texan males partake of the same

**** I probly would have done it if I had thought of it. Janet,
however,
jumps to conclusions, as does most of that group. Note that when
she thought that Bob was blind, she didn't apologize for laughing
at him..... THAT, my dear, was hilarious ...!!! However, Janet has
never "re-thought" anything, and never will. It's just who she
it.....

*** Lots of "Dorothys" around. High Miles, for instance.
Are you familiar with the Aztec god Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli ?????
Bet you a dollar you can't pronounce it !!!!!!! I was thinking that
Toci was some Norse god of funny
limericks, or something like that. I'm not really much up on
mythology.

**** Over the last 20 years or so, I have used different screen
names --- never as a disguise, but because I just got tired of
one and moved to another. I liked "Yosemite Andy", but it
seemed too pretentious. Even tho my oldest boy (Keith) said it was
more appropriate.
Regarding "boring", Keith's doctorate is in philology -- the
study of Latin,Greek, and ancient languages. I guess some
people really get their jollies in different ways.

Well, that's certainly true, but with GLOBALIST it seems to be
more than that. No more of that "all whiteys are evil" line.
GLOBALIST
was Robert in St Louis before, and he was definitely a black racist.
Now the character seems more mellow and makes reasonable
statements. Doesn't seem to me to be the same person at all.
But unlike our British friends, I readily admit that I may be wrong.
Whatever the change, I now read his/her posts and give them some
thought.

I'm black as the ace of spades. Canadian of Indian ancestry. (Acadian
Crow). Came to the US when my grandparents moved to Louisana and
brought the whole family with them (31 kids, grandkids, aunts and
uncles) Granddad was an African and Grandma was full blood Indian.
(Canadian indians were just full of blood not that that meant of any
one ancestry) My wife is white as the driven snow. We are considered
white trash among many. Unless we are being asked to contribute to
some civic cause.

Refresh my memory. There are several extended family members with the
nomenclature of Linda.

But, you notice, rumplestiltskin (Geoff Arrowsmith ) is still

[Independent old cuss]

I guess he still has hope.

[Toci]

I think High Miles and I share a preference for not being mistaken for
each other. I think Janet needs friends, respect, and understanding.
Now, Philology is one of the ways to go. I had a New Testament prof
who lamented that NT Greek wasn't expected of the future ministers he
was teaching, and since then I've felt a bit guilty about only having
studied the NT in English. My grandson is studying Anthropology, but
isn't deeply into Linguistics. Toci

**** I am puzzled about studying the Bible in a language that was
becoming obsolete a thousand years before Jesus. But, I think I
understand his point. For instance, I am disappointed that Morse
Code isn't a requirement for high school graduation. I think it
would
make us all better people.... But if one doesn't know Morse Code,
one couldn't possible understand... :>)))

**** Well , Keith is a bit of a wordsmith. Our correspondences are
usually laced with double entendre and new words we make up. It is
always a pleasure since each missive from him is a challenge to
try to equal, or top it, with some turn of phrase or nuance. I have
a lot of pride in him...... When he starts talking about Roman
history,
tho,.... damn... he could put a cup of coffee to sleep.

Heh heh !! I am inferring that he is an "ex"...... :>))))

Keith has been visiting professor at other universities picking up
a few bucks with courses like "Sex Practices in Ancient Rome"....
I've never heard one of his lectures, but I am told they are
well attended.
I guess some people are able to make subjects like
sex more interesting than others... :>)))))

Use a decent newsreader and block him or if you insist on using Google just

Boring? I was married to a chemical engineer and my father was one also.
Serious perhaps, but science is not boring.

I have a J.D. degree but would never call myself doctor, or put Esq. after

I rarely read alt.fiftyplus ... In my experience, there are some
really
mentally unbalanced people on both the left and right extremes.
Since I am an independent, fiscal conservative and social moderate,
both sides hate my guts. Having them for enemies is one of my
proudest achievements....

I don't think the Brits and Ozzies are unbalanced, just victims of a
culture that seems to thrive on arrogance.

And you are absolutely correct. I substituted an "M" for the "T"

I have a Commercial Radiotelegraph Operator license ( T2) which I
don't use and an Extra Class amateur license, which I do use,
but not so much anymore.... They wouldn't let me take the
T1 test unless I had actual shipboard radio operator experience,
and I've had no opportunity to do that, tho my code speed was
adequate. The T1 (First Class Radiotelegraph) license has since
been discontinued in the US by the FCC....

I really expected you to do a "Welsh Windbag" discovery and
"put me in my place"...... :>)))) Either you are rusty, or far
too polite to make an issue of it.......

To be honest, I copy only by ear, and doing the "dididit" thing
makes me actually vocalize the sounds before I can translate......
Even lights flashing Morse translate into sounds in my ears, and
I don't know how the hell that happens, but that's what I "hear"....

Anyway, I've been a ham operator for over 50 years, and have
