Now THAT explains a lot about AZB ~ Grahame.

Remember bushbaby, and I know you are way old enough to remember this: Hippo won because leonel was doing a bad job at the time. many supported Hippo because he was the lesser evil of the 2. Hippo started out good and people had the hope he will revive the economy. he invested money in government projects and tourism etc. It was later on in his administration he screwed up big time. This is when we all saw the true colors of his administration. This is when I parted from them. if you remember correctly, i supported his party and actually had met hippo 3 times. now I can't even stand his name.
of course you don't remember all that, your hatred for AZB has blinded you, like many others here. So you are no special stud just another sheep in the herd.

"of course you don't remember all that, your hatred for AZB has blinded you, like many others here. So you are no special stud just another sheep in the herd."

Wow, just a tad harsh, don't you think?

Also it is a good example of going over the top, AZB style.

The thing is, you made a very good case up to that point in your post. You presented the facts as you saw them, and explained the historical de-evolution of that Hippo term very well.

And then, it all goes for naught because you couldn't refrain from the gratuitous personal attack.

I'm not an anti-AZB terrorist. I simply respond to your posts, in terms of their form and substance. Thus far, for the year, you're doing fine in substance and failing in form.

It is possible to accomplish both simultaneously.

catcher, that's not an attack, IMHO. Even AZB must know he isn't important enough to warrant 'hatred'. What it is is an example of faulty logic - I can't see anything in BB's post above (replete with smileys) which would lead to the conclusion AZB posted. Ergo, he has a need to read it this way. Probably best to accord it the importance it deserves...............viz. ignore it.

Back to the general.............

catcher, why was there any need for bushbaby to post a response like this? what were his motives? he knows damn well hippo was elected because the out-going president was worthless to dominicans. I bet even he supported the election results at the time. He only posts out of pure dislike for me. I know his motives very well. This is not the first time he has poked at me.

As I see it Bushbaby's response was a lighthearted one.

he put signs .... that shows he was taking it on a light side... it was in no way a serious comment.

AZB I like and agree with very many of your points of view, but the threads in recent days have gotten you a bit paranoic that anything (even a lighthearted comment meant in no way as a personal attack or to offend you) said now about you, you consider as a personal attack.

I have been observing these discussions from a distance and I have seen lots of people attacking you in the past few days without a real reason (well, they thought they had a reason). So I cannot say I blame you I would be doing and feeling the same way as you do... just take a deep breath... not everything said is meant against you. The smiley signs as per above are the "clues" what is said seriously and what not.

What I wrote was able to be read in many different ways, Good, Bad, Lighthearted or noncommital. Depending on your inner security level you laugh it off, you come back attacking or you just ignore it. Personally I tend to ignore little jibes at me (on the very rare ocassions it happens because I am so perfect in my posts ) because I find them usually quite revealing.

Reading peoples personalities on this board can be tremendous fun sometimes. AZB is such a nice guy in person - he has OFTEN told me so & I BELIEVE him! ~ Grahame.

Grahame, why to add more gasoline into the fire? Just leave the topic as it is ...

I think there's been enough personal attacks here lately. We all need to take a deep breath and get some fresh air....
