Homestead mailing list

[bobf <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

Well Lynda, in the six or eight months since I started posting, I have yet to 
see you disagree with the boy from Tenneessee.  You two , often, enjoy 
re-inforcing your very common ideals.  I don't have a problem with you.  
Right or wrong, you are generally respectful and nice.  Thus, I have never 
said a word against you.

You may defend the boy all you like, but I have had enough of his bullying, 
hypocrisy, and pettiness; and by the number of private emails I have 
received, concerning this matter, I am not alone in my thinking.

It matters not to me that you call me names.  Do I think part of your message 
rebuking me was childish, juvenile, even churlish -- perhaps ; but you 
haven't, yet, resorted to bullying.  

I make my own way, pay my own bills, and live my life as I please.  I don't 
back down to petty people who have hi,dden themselves away out of fear of the 
other, while falsely proclaiming total self-sufficiency when it is obvious 
tthey are living a life of medicre drudgery.

When someone is paying part of my bills, then, and , only then, do their 
labels have any significance.  Until then , it is all inane bluster.

If he lets the issue go, quits bullying and labeling; then it is over.  If he 
doesn't I will continue to reprimand him, whether or not that is agreeable 
with you , or anyone else.  I start nothing, but once it is started, I will 
involve myself, once again, whether , or not, that is agreeable with you.

I think , now, we understand each other............................
