Re: Some amateurs just sicken me.....

This TROLL dose remind me of what one guy said once. Back in 1994 I got my
first SDI disabilty check and at the same time I won my battle with VA and
they once more rated me at 30% instead of the 10% from Raygun Ragan's time
and they also back paid me. All in all combined I got a good sized amount.

At that time I ran a BBS ( remember those? ) and it was part of a small but
nation wide network. After stocking up on food stuff, buying a good used car
( 1978 Caddy Limo for $1,100 ) I then ordered my first telescope, an Orion
DSE 12.5 Dob. After I got it and had used it, I posted a message on the ISIS
network message base about how I got it and such.

Another sysop from a BBS in Tx made a reply along the same lines as this
troll, he said that I should not have been able to waste my money on cars
and scopes and he was going to report me to the grovement people and to the
VA too.

I told him that he could take his reports, drop his pants, bend over, and
shove them where the sun don't shine, as the money was mine and I could
spend it anyway I wanted too and there was nothing he could do. He then said
I should have given over 1/2 of the money to my local "Kingdom Hall", that's
when I lost it, I told him in personal e-mail that he could take that idea
and shove it along with his reports and that NO JW was allowed to disgrace
my doorstep.

Funny thing, as he had taken over the running of that network and had
already killed off the Astronomy message base, I pulled my BBS from the
network as it was being turned into a JW promoting one.

Oh ya, the whole network died within 2 months after me pulling out.

So, while this troll is just that, I do know that there are such dipsticks
out there.

I've wondered if I could have given him a hart attack by letting him know
that I paid a years worth of rent, had gotten a MiDi keyboard ( still have
it too ) and picked up an Atari Falcon for use with the MiDi and updated my
BBS from an Atari 1040ST to an Atari TT030 ( both of which I still have ).
