I want to apologize to anyone I have offended or insulted in my many posting and tell them that I am truly sorry - I mean, I Really WANT to.....but I just can't. I can't bring myself to apologize to numbskulls. After all, the fools deserved every cheap shot, sling, or arrow suffered - as we suffered from their intellectually-challenged drivel and moronic incantations. I mean, really, why should I go around apoloziing to fools, idiots, stupidos, asshats, and morons when they should be apologizing to the rest of us for littering our world with dumb?

So to all I may have offended or insulted, I offer you a heartfelt I don't give a rat's ass. Be glad you got that much.

Have a nice day. :)

P.S. "They" are right. Confession is good for the soul. :P

sounds just like the trolls from the msn groups lols

a couple of years ago there was an ugly bboer who got in all manners of trouble

after an involutary vacation he is back and a well-meaning friend of mine decided to help him save his soul

that is my friend`s zen thing, not mine. at last the friend reported that he has turned the ugly bboer in the nicest bridge player( if so , perhaps waterboarding must have worked) and says the ugly one wants to play with me.

but i am not about to test it out lol

That last joke works better if you substitute "paleface" for "Kemo Sabe."

Why not? The forum members are predominantly male. Oh well maybe that is not all it takes ....

But maybe a book about how to convince a good bridge player to become one's partner would be more useful.
