[Vision2020] Sub-minimum wage

[keely emerinemix]

Gary,

I'm not "normally demure."  I'm normally just a straight-talking and opinionated woman who writes better than some and worse than others.  I'm often stubborn, occasionally intemperate, frequently passionate, and always genuine.

Currently, though, I'm astonished, if not more than a little amused, that you would seemingly fail to realize that "poopy-headed booger eater" was in jest.  I was serious about "badgering, bellicose twits," "stubborn, truculent ass," and even "testosto-twits."  But really, Gary -- "poopy" and "booger" aren't words I use unless pointing out when someone's being immature in his or her belligerence.  It's irony, you big silly.

(And please refresh my memory on the object of "stubborn, truculent ass."  I want to make sure I don't repeat myself in referring to anyone in particular).

With nary a "neener, neener, neener" --

keely

No, I call him Mr. Campbell because that is what I 
was brought up to regard as the correct way to address a stranger who I 
am not on friendly terms with. I do not call him Dr. Campbell 
because I reserve the prefix for MD's and introductions where using the term 
will convey due respect and information in that context. In my day to day 
interaction with people I almost never use the term. That said, there is no 
question but what I occasionally do a poor job of hiding my lack of 
regard for Mr. Campbell. If this occasionally comes out in my responses to 
him, so be it. As I have said before, I don't consider myself a 
saint.
 
When it comes to things posted to this list, insult 
often tends to be the rule rather then the exception. Please 
consider:
 
You to another vision member: " moron,  a 
pathetic imbecilic braying ass, the Biggest Idiot on the 
Palouse, liar, a prolapsed rectum"
 
Mr. Campbell to me: "ponyboy, ignorant slut, idiot, 
hack, coward, bigot, stupid, and jackass"
 
Mr. Hansen of his pals: "No-clue, His Whineyness, 
Comb-Over, Brainless, and Crabpot"
 
Even the normally demure Ms. Mix: "badgering 
bellicose pest, stubborn truculent ass, testosto-twits, and poopy headed booger 
eater"
 
Need I go on?
 
All this is not to imply that I think insult is 
"fine, acceptable behavior" but, to acknowledge that when opinions 
conflict sometimes the level of discourse might suffer. The fact that no one 
from the MCA leapt in to criticize any of the above remarks is most likely NOT 
indicative of their "endorsement of the politics of hate," or that the 
candidates that they endorse are in some way complicit. To imagine otherwise 
would be illogical and a mite foolish.
