Carol Master baited in post #1 of "liveaboards" with

> Never having *lived with* 8 guys before, I was just wondering <...>
> Can you experienced folks give me, say, 3 MUST DO's and 3 MUST NOT DO's?

Why was *lived with* emphasized?   As Carol admitted much later,
she was looking of some "fun" answers -- i.e., BAITING for some
JOKES.


I was baited to give the PREFACE to my Jokes which was self-explanatory
that the "gang bang" was meant the term for GROUP FLAMES, and had 
absolutely NOTHING (zilch, zero) to do with any of the 8 Scottish
men on the liveaboard (which was not even mentioned in Post #1)!



In Post #2, I wrote the lines for which *I* was gang-banged in 
Scuba-SE, lead by none other than Carol herself:

RF>  You wouldn't by chance be looking for advice on the DOs
RF>  and DONTs of "gang bang" (a phrase I heard recently from
RF>  our revered master, Mother Tigre?

RF>  If so, I must plead ignorance, because all the gang bangs
RF>  I've had experience were from the gang in rec.scuba.locations
RF>  and their BARKS while they were banging were only laughable.

before I gave my 3 MUST DO's and MUST NOT DO's which no one 
complainted except the "not funny", but not "offensive" kind.


In post #3, Carol summoned her hacket man Christian to post 
his unwarranted diatribe based on Carol's and his WRONG
ASSUMPTION about me trying to OFFEND her or the Scottish 
gentleman of her dive club!   NOTHING could be further from
the truth.


In Post #4, I gave Christian what HE deserved, in terms of 
quid pro quo.



In Post #5 (that is NUMBER 5) and BEFORE Carol expressed anything
about my "offensive post", I immediately gave my apology IN THE
EVENT Carol was indeed offended:

RF>  In my initial follow-up, I did include some less than pristine
RF>  humor that might even be called gutter humor.

RF>  If any of those offended you, my apologies, though no offense
RF>  was ever intended or perceived to be such by me.

and gave a few more scuba-related clean jokes.



In Post #6, Carol came out SWINGING, which BAITED the gang-bang
by a few of the Scuba-SE posters, on ME, notwithstanding my 
patient explanation that there was NOTHING meant to be offensive,
and if any were, so would some of Church's jokes.

To no avail.



In Post #17, Carol wrote, after the LUNCH MOB GANG already had
their bond fire and field day,

Carol>  I have accepted his apology to me but cannot forgive 
Carol>  his reply to Christian.

BULLSHIT!!!  When did you accept my apology in Post #4?  This was
the first time you even MENTIONED that I had already apologized
AND explained what the situation was.

It's TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE, my Master Baiting Thin-Skinned 
Scottish Lady!

As for Christian, I have NOTHING to retract.   He is just his
old bastard self, GOADED into his act by YOU!


So there!   I have absolutely NOTHING to apology for THIS POST,
having explained WHY you're nothing but a THin-Skinned Master
Baiter!


What ever happened to the 3DO's and DON'Ts you asked for?

Why is it I didn't hear a WORD about them -- from YOU as to why
nobody offered any of those, had you not been Master BAITING 
for jokes, which produced the 56 not-so-pristine jokes by 
Crusty, from Church.

And FINALLY, in my commentary about some of Church's items, 
there are PLENTY of jokes and satire in them -- of course 
none of the members of the lynch party had any humour/humor
left to appreciate any HUNMOR.

Pity.

This is all the time I have from my vacation.   I would 
have posted this earlier had I had internet access in 
Fairbanks.
