In Reply to: Sorry Fred -- people like that make me see red............ posted by Jerry K. on May 09, 2002 at 08:23:23:

so I could respond to you personally, but since you choose not to...
I, for one do not share your opinion of RTB..I probably shouldn't write a response now , as I have been up all night taking care of all manor of illnesses and injuries at my hospital...Excuse any typo's..
I think RTB gives us a different view of things...I doubt seriously that he meant to show anyone up as being a computer idiot....I think he was trying to point out ways we could help ourselves...I don't believe he meant to belittle anyone without the same computer expertise as he...He certainly didn't attack anyone personally...
I truly resent the statements that you made suggested he's sending us viruses...That's a very serious allegation...As I'm sure you know...People are arrested for that kind of stuff and the FBI has an active and open investigation web site for internet fraud and abuse...
I agree that he has a very dry sense of humor and can be perceived as something other than he is, but I think that applies to most of us...Refer back to the "interbreeding" thread...
I find him to be very insightful and helpful, although he enjoys a good argument and I've had plenty with him!! Other, established members of this forum, have also recognized this one more than on occasion in the forum...One has even asked to choose another handle, because he recognizes this young man's unique abilities to cut through the BS and get to the point with solid comments on many issues...
Jerry, I think you are out of line with the "mental" comments...If you are truly psychiatric sw (and I work with them daily) you know that shouldn't make judgements without seeing the person's body language , interpersonal engagements and interactions in person...But then Psychology has no basis in real medicine anyway...Still you owe RTB an apology..
While we're at it,I second Fred A's comments too...
While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, personal attacks, especially of the anonymous sort that this forum offers to those who choose to remain hidden, are not what this forum is about...
Neither is this type of discussion, but you leave me no choice, except to respond here...

I hope that your true attitude, is the same one that ended with your first post...Now tell us some good Indigo stories yourself!!

I appoligize to all for this rambling, but I, for one, am tired of the SPECIFIC personal attacks that seem to be getting all to frequent...DT can't police this place 24/7...We should help him out with a little more thought before we push the submit button...Me included...

Happy Indigo Story...I just acquired a beautiful 6' female Texas Indigo..I am a lucky man!!...I'll post pics soon, take care all..Carl Gossett

: : : I may just be speaking for myself here, but whenever i hear a response from "retardo" here, I get the feeling he's been diagnosed with a disorder -- most likely manic/depressive and when manic (e.g. when he decides to jump online and thrash someone) he has aggressive/narcissistic tendencies which are observed in his sarcastic means in addition to his plethora of knowledge about things only strange sub-cultures are familiar with. Sorry, Mr. Retard Gates, that we weren't aware of what you knew. Whoops! Missed your dose of Paxil I presume. But seriously dude, lighten up on the cocky attitude and tell us a good Indigo story or two.

: : : Virus scanners are mostly useless, in the case of
: : : : newly emerged viruses. If your virus scanner has not been updated to recognize a certain virus, it wont, well, recognize a new one!

: : : : you could use a feature like the one norton antivirus has, in which it remains active 24/7 constantly monitoring your system for virus 'like' activity, but this can be a huge drag on your system resources.

: : : : now, i assume that most of us here, especially the ones that are prone to viral infections, use either microsoft outlook or outlook express.

: : : : the ultimate way to prevent viruses from infecting your system is to go to microsoft.com's windows update site. when you go here, it will make a quick scan of your system and tell you which files you need to download to become completely up-to-date.

: : : : oh, and for those quasi pirates out there, dont worry if you are running a bootleg copy of office or windows. they cannot tell if you are doing so.

: : : : you may have to download, install, reboot and then go back to the website a few times to get all the updates, but in the end, your system will be much more secure.

: : : : the one real downside to this is that you will no longer be able to have executable files sent to you. whenever outlook receives any file that might possibly even contain a virus, it elminates that file entirely.

: : : : try to keep in mind that this will work only for outlook and outlook express, for emails containing viruses. if you read your mail through a web browser, this will not prevent anything.

: : : : it's a good idea to do anyways, to keep your system more secure and running efficiently.

: : :
: : : : : Hi again, everyone. Whew, what a bad virus. It deleted some files that destroyed the hard drive. I finally bought a new computer. I lost all of my data. I think I have a suggestion. I am not opening some mail which appears as though it may contain a virus. I think that if we send mail to one another which does contain an attachment, we should carefully title the mail so that it will be clear it is real. The virus does not seem to have the smarts to write really good titles. Anyway, good luck to everyone. This was a costly experience.

: : : : : And Carl, I am happy you like your new female.

: : I would appreciate it very much.
: : As for Retard Boy, I dont know. You can make the call,I am not fit to judge.

: But I didn't remember that some are religiously more sensitive than others, so with all due respect on your behalf i retract my vanity. As far as this retard boy, I've back-tracked as far as the forum goes and this dude has nothing to offer but sarcasm and quirky little remarks at our expense, THEN, after some people's (you included) horrendous cyber-drama due to viruses, this knucklehead comes off as God's gift to the PC world. Jeez, i wouldn't be surprised if this dude sent those viruses out with all the "knowledge" that he seems to have up his sleeve in addition to blatant disrespect and shallow remarks he's made in the past. If i were Doug i would have booted him by now. As a psychiatric social worker, I can be somewhat judgmental even without ever having met someone in person, yet having the means (this forum) to digest someone's verbal behavior and projected ego via their remarks, comments, and content of their conversation avails me to have at least some form of insight as to their mental status. Retardo here has a whole lotta time on his hands with a narcissistic/sadistic side to his demeanor -- like i said before, I wouldn't be surprised if he was the source of our virus problems. Anyway, how is production for this year? My 9 eggs are still cookin well and are now at almost one month I believe. Peace....

: Jerry.
