Jim
Well Jim, I'd actually make the effort to meet and greet both Rich and Greg, put aside our difference for the evening, and enjoy the views at a dark sky site in the summer. But, true to conservative form, and with no shades of grey, neither one can do so because of their unyielding belief system. Take the infrastructure bill, for example, if Trump advanced the same thing, they'd be enthusiastically posting about it as a major win for the country and it is. Even though it has bipartisan support, including that of the Republican leader in the senate, it just has to be bad because it happened to be advanced by Biden. It's just spite and nothing else. That's what you're dealing with...

You tried the same bullshit with me, attempting to give me orders to take down postings I made or change them, otherwise you would run to Herb and get me kicked off of here as you eventually did.

Unfortunately for you, I don't take orders from boys like you, and since you told me above that I'm some sort of tyrant, I would simply remind you who gave orders to whom awhile back.  That would be you.

So don't come on here jackoff, playing the victim.  

Neither of us likes the other.  Stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours.  

I'll tell you one last time. 

You're free to respond to me any way you choose.  You can refer to me derogatorily as you do most of the time as Trumptoid.

I've been attempting to ignore you and your idiotic postings for a good bit of time.

Here's the gist.  My name is Rich or Richard or even Dick if you like.  Some of my girlfriends refer to me as Dick.

My name is not Richie.  

Don't bring up anyone in my family, ever.  You have something to say, address it to me.  Don't bring my family members into your miserable postings. 

Is that clear enough for you Rod?    

Now you go and do your best to have a nice weekend.  I know I will.  smile
"You ran around this forum playing the tough guy, giving Steve orders to change his postings when he responded to yours, threatening to go to Herb if he didn't Obey your commands. " 
More of the same BS from supreme commander of it, Richie...

I don't hate Jim M.  He gives me crap and I give him crap.  He gives me the finger and I give him a hard time.  He calls me "Dick!" and other names like Asshole when he gets irritated with me and I call him a Fat Boy!       LOL.  tongue  If I drank beer I would probably hand him one if I saw him at a star party and say "cheers Jim"    smile

Rod is just a real pathetic person in my view.  I have no respect for him.  I think he's like a 5 year old who hides behind his mother's tail skirt and can't fight his own battles.  

He's a real weasel.  I didn't like it when he threatened Steve, telling Steve "take down your posting or else I'll run to management".

And he did run to management.  That's what a punk boy does.  And that is what he is.

And so I wouldn't walk 2 feet to take a piss on his shoes.  

He's just that way, and he isn't man enough to fight his own battles, so I No I wouldn't say one word to him.  For one thing, I wouldn't want to see him start to cry.  

He is just a far left political hack IMO.  Hopefully that doesn't bother you.  I just don't like him.  

But hey, this week is going to be great.  I hope you and your family have a great weekend and enjoy this Beautiful Colorado Weather.   smile

And BTW, Darian is a great guy! 
Hey Richie, Didn't you threaten to show up at a boxing match with Jim but never showed up? I seem to remember reading about it...

Utah governor Spenser Cox blasts "bonkers" covid numbers in Idaho. Not to be outdone, Washington state governor Inslee blasted Idaho governor Brad Little for clogging up his state with covid cases.

The B1 "Bone" Bomber with Israeli F15 fighter escorts, obviously meant to send a message to Iran, have had multiple flyovers in the middle east:

and

PS:  Back in the '90s, the guy who put my 16" astrosystems structure together for me was an engineer who worked on building the B1. I figured if he's good enough to work on the B1, he's good enough to work on my scope!

OT: Texas Star Party?

Unless they moved it for a one-timer at Mt Pinos, Ca, I kind of doubt it...

That 8" f16 seems like a good candidate for a folded refractor design by means of an optical flat. Some earnest ATM club in Texas or elsewhere might be interested in going in on it. Probably cut the tube length by half or more...

Kyle Rittenhouse should be a very rich person after he sues everyone in the media who defamed him.

Get a load of the judge:
