On my response to Jeff's appeal to senrenity,

> Your wishes will be granted as soon as the lynch mob
> put down their ropes . . .

Lee Bell, whose gang in rec.scuba.locations started it all,
decided it's time for him to get back into his "gang bang":

Lee>  Being attacked by another gang, I see.

If you wish to put it that way, on Double Standards, applied
to Carol's puritanical standards applied to MY JOKES, but not
to Church's jokes posted by Crusty.

In Lee's characteristic say of quotimg me OUT OF CONTEXT
to make his impertinent remark, Lee quoted this single line

RF>  and examine the evidence of Church's JOKES . . .

to remark

Lee>  Jim Church is dead.  All of his sins are either forgiven 
Lee>  or he'll be paying for them for the rest of eternity. 

while LEAVING OUT the MANY LINES pertinent to my line above:


RF> Be HONEST -- how many of Chucch's items would have offended
RF> her, GIVEN the way she took offense of what I had said.
RF>
RF> I was merely drawing a PARALLEL, in retrospect.
>
RF> BE HONEST!
>
RF> If you or anyone going to be critical of what *I* posted,
RF> fine.   Just apply the SAME STANDARDS to those items posted
RF> by Crusty, based on Church's webpage.

These lines would have been pertinent to Lee's impertinent remarks
>
RF> THAT was humor to ME.   That was AMUSING.
RF>
RF> They would have been OFFENSIVE to Carol -- at least quite
RF> a few of the 56.

Nobody, the least of whom *(* was critical of Jim Church in 
the slightest.  I was merely asking anyone critical of ME to
apply the SANE STANDARDS to Jim Church's lines postec by 
Crusty, as a matter of FAIR PLAY and not having DOUBLE
STANDARDS in their accusations of my jokes.


I very much welcomed Wayne's appeal to my LOGIC, in his
derogatory condemnation of what I posted.

I did apply my LOGIC, to show the unfairness of his 
condemnation, and asked HIM, and Crusty, and Carol, to
apply their SAME STANDARDS to what I said, to what Jim
Church said, in his web page, cited by Crusty.

No one (so far) accepted that HONESTY challange like a
Man (or in Carol's case, like a lady with sense of Fair
Play and Honesty).  

Both Wayne and Crusty skirted the issue by evasion or
their failure to apply Carol's puritanical standards
to the specific items (out of Church's 56) I had 
selected for comparison and comment.

What I am speaking here is merely my sppeal to 
MORAL HONESTY, in my self-defense, against what appears
to me to a lynch mob, each of whom has his reason for
being a member of the mob, but without the GUTS to
face the Fair Play and Honesty challenge, in the light
of Jim Church's jokes provided by Crusty.

Fire away.

I'll be off to enjoy the beauty and serenity of North
Alaska in winter, and even if I have access to the
internet, would not waste any further time on the issue
I had already thoroughly and clearly addressed.
