Ärende: Control The Smoke!!!
============================

 BF>> #1. Remember the discussion we had about N379P for months when you almost
 BF>> called me a liar? Good. Finally you had to give it up since the truth
 BF>> cought up with you but I never heard any real apology.

 FS> That's where you made your *first* mistake.  I *never* called you a liar
 FS> or "almost" a liar!  I simply questioned the quality of the information
 FS> you had received.  That's one hell of a big difference. Furthermore I gave
 FS> you my reason for *not* believing it and you rejected that entirely.

Why shouldn't I since I had seen the evidence that you rejected entirely.

 FS> Then, when I *did* find out it was true I mentioned that.  As for the
 FS> "apology" why *should* I have apologized?  I said nothing which called for
 FS> an apology, after all I didn't criticize *you* I criticized your *news*
 FS> source.  Can't you see the difference?!  I *never* questioned your
 FS> *personal* sincerety.

It would have been better if you had said "Oooppsss, this was news" and had
listned before being so categorical.

 BF>> #2. With Dan about the white cars in white snow. It was shown to me by
 BF>> Mother Nature that Dan was totally wrong but still he thinks he was right
 BF>> but I leave it to him to do some more thinking about it.

 FS> As you should realize *I*, too, said Dan was wrong.  It's the contrast
 FS> which matters.

And this was to him, not to you.

 BF>> #3. The disussion with Roy about moose. I live in a country where we see
 BF>> moose almost whenever we want to and I also have them in my yard and
 BF>> people are actually killed on the roads after having chrashed with them
 BF>> and they are a huge problem here so who's the best to talk about moose,
 BF>> him or me?

 FS> I would say *you*.  I know little about the habits of moose having seen
 FS> only one in the wild in my entire life when on a fishing trip into Canada.
 FS> *Then* I thought it was a "dog".  The guide laughed and pointed out how
 FS> far away on the lake shore the moose *was* ...

Well, I've been only about 20 yards from one and I didn't see her until it was
almost too late.

 BF>> #4. That you and Roy are still (in this momet) bitching about me and are
 BF>> making fun of someting that isn't fun at all and that says a lot to me
 BF>> about

 FS> Huh?  That "don't let the smoke escape" is an old, old joke among
 FS> electronics people ... [sigh] ... it has *nothing* to do with you,
 FS> personally!

*I* didn't know that. Coming from Roy it can mean almost anything and
remember, English isn't my mother toungue.

 FS> I still bitch about you because of the way you acted.  You felt I was a
 FS> liar or being insincere or something like that when *neither* was true.
 FS> It was your *attitude* from the start. I've mentioned this before and you
 FS> refused to believe it.  Either that or you simply don't understand the
 FS> *concept* of "attitude". ... so be it!

Then I think we are two with an attitude problem since aparently you don't get
along with anyone outside of USA.
The way you act here is not the way you act towards your fellow citizens in the
echoes I read and I do see your name in a couple of them.
