George, you're such a jerk and a hypocrite, too. When the topic displeases
you, you squeal and yell and offer to suck someone's dick. When someone
disagrees with you, he's a scumbag.

If you don't like what I say, use your email filter or just delete the mail
before you even look at it. Isn't that what you scream at others to do?
Hypocrite!

What difference does what I have between my legs have to do with my posts?

What is this fetish you seem to have for male genitalia, anyway? - are you
trying in a subtle way to tell us something? No, that can't be it, George is
never subtle, just foul-mouthed and now I'm really wondering about sexual
problems or inadequacies.

I'm also impressed with your grasp of the English language and grammar. Keep
it up, please.

Jack

Jack, anytime the discussion is painful to the scumbags in the "community",
you start howling. Fuck off or unsubscribe. You are worse than Chrissy
Brown. Take a quick look down between your legs and see if you in fact have
a dick, I think you are in for a surprise , pal.
