comeon, abc, you may be fat, but when you said you are fat, too, you nailed him again. <BR><BR>Yoiks is right on about all your comments. <BR><BR>What goes here, anyway? BeatChick knows abc? Is this an office party or something? Are a bunch of people going to come on here now and defend abc? Sounds like a bunch of regulars are here. I thought you all left because of mean comments? <BR><BR>And now you are making them. <BR><BR>Just look at abc's words, they speak for themselves. <BR> <BR><BR>

You're right. Kavey is back.<BR>

When in June is this canonization of Padre Pio? Thanks!

..<BR>I think the canonization is on June 16th? For more information on Padre Pio, check http://www.ewtn.com/padrepio/man/index.htm<BR>

People like abc are the reason so many of us left this forum. Every time I come back here, there is someone like abc making snotty remarks about people. <BR><BR>abc, what makes you so much better than other people that you feel you can categorize their remarks?<BR><BR>I bet you are one of the loudest complainers when someone takes a hit at you. <BR><BR>There must be something we can do to clean up this place. Maybe if we were all registered, abc would stop with this juvenile back-biting.

I say go see the canonization! You probably will never get the chance again.

Just for the record, though I said what I said above, I don't agree with the self-described "regular," who, under the guise of righteousness, is just taking advantage of the situation to attack someone who posted in a moment of bad judgment. The so-called "regular" is the worst of the lot.

&lt;&lt;I felt that Rex would find it hilarious, too.&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>Oh sure, BeatChick. And will you find it hilarious too, if someone twists your name into FatChick? or SlutChick? or AssLick?<BR><BR>Unbelievable that people still claim that name-calling is cute or some kind of affectionate sign of chumminess.<BR><BR>The use of the name "referee" is likewise clearly a lame attempt at spin control.<BR><BR>&lt;&lt;someone who posted in a moment of bad judgment&gt;&gt;<BR><BR>indicates that "referee" is simply "abc" under a different name trying to play down the slur initially hurled.<BR>

You know -- any poster on this thread could be anybody -- welcome to the internet. This could also not be me, except that I know that I don't use an alias and I have learned to ignore these threads. What the lot of you HAVE done is spoiled a perfectly good and moderately entertaining cat fight among two board "personalities" -- whoever they may be ;)

Okay, ChaiClubFan,<BR><BR>You obviously know who I am. I have a feeling I know who you are to.<BR><BR>SINCE you who I am then you know that I have been subjected to attacks on occasion myself. BUT, when they occur I roll with the punches and generally end up laughing at them myself.<BR><BR>So yes, if someone called me names like that (BTW - slutchick was a pretty good play on the name) then I'd probably laugh (I've been called worse and by people who know me better!). : )

I just want to see if I understand your interpretation of events correctly, SF<BR><BR>This is the initial cat fight, as you call it? Do I have that right?<BR><BR>........................<BR><BR>Auth or: John G ([email protected])<BR>Date: 04/30/2002, 01:13 am<BR>Message: Rex, you are an ass.<BR><BR>Sorry, I couldn't resist.<BR><BR>.....................<BR><BR>Author : Rex ([email protected])<BR>Date: 04/30/2002, 08:13 am<BR>Message: Wow. I feel like I've been elevated to saintly status myself! Called an ass by John G. Makes me feel positively gorgeous!<BR><BR>....................<BR><BR>Autho r: abc ([email protected])<BR>Date: 04/30/2002, 11:20 am<BR>Message: Rex: FatGorjus!<BR><BR>....................<BR><BR>And so evidently, you too agree that abc and referee and John G jack jake rick rhonda rochelle are all the same person?<BR> <BR>But where does Kavey come into things?<BR><BR>And who does that make BeatChick and a regular?<BR>

abc, referee and JohnG are definitely NOT the same person.<BR><BR>And me? I'm just a Kerouac fan and a friend of abc's!! : )

MMMmmmm....... more -- not quite. You've put quite a lot of words into my "mouth".<BR><BR>I was simply referring to the people posting as Rex & John -- no one else -- as for who is whom -- I have no clue.

I want to know, is John G fat or is Rex fat? <BR><BR>This is too funny!<BR><BR>Don't usually come here because there are so many people like abc. Looks like she got caught this time, though.

Who is Abc?<BR>Well, here's a clue: Abc said<BR>"but i do retract the rex comment and apologise for it".<BR><BR>Couldn't be an American, because Americans spell it apologize. <BR><BR>I think the British spell it apologise. <BR><BR>

TO: Just visiting<BR><BR>Rex is full figured (I'm trying to be pc) and John G is gay. Okay? So what does either of those things have to do with the topic at hand? Not a darn thing. Poor Babs --- she innocently posts a legitimate travel question and her thread is hijacked with this puerile behavior.

Some of the regulars are British. <BR><BR>Kavey, for one. <BR><BR>Sheila and David West are, too. (But I can't imagine either one of them posting remarks like this).

Tony's British

could be a poster from Up North, too! Or Down Under? Or just an American who can't spell...<BR><BR>Does it really matter at this point? Everyone's been insulted, some have apologized, others haven't...Why can't we all just get along?!?

Wow, I cannot believe that such a boring title like Venice or Canonization in Rome could be so full of insults and scratching and biting!<BR>I think the bell rang and all of you should get into your corners now.<BR>Maybe this could be returned to the question asked? <BR>Or are there a couple of hundred other people wanting to put their less valuable than 2 cents worth in here?<BR>ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ASKED:<BR>my choice would be to see the Canonization.How often do you get to see something like that? Catholic or not, the pomp and ceremony would be amazing.<BR>
