Stay Safe Study Buddies...

Be careful about all that "military" talk, most of us are quite professionals. If you didn't get that course you may want to look into it.

To the OP, good idea. Another trick is to leave that info in your vehicle or home, it will be checked and no info is shared.

Maybe blah, blah, blah it has to do with hostage negotiation training blah, blah which I was required to know for my jobs blah, blah in both the military and DOD / DLA...blah, blah, blah.

Maybe, not everyone talks out their ass like you. Originally Posted by grtrader

Demoted! Back to class.

which branch of the military taught you how to be an idiot?

at least i have the balls to say it to your face and give you the opportunity to come back. sorry you're not that witty. take 2 of these & call me in the morning


anywhoo,
i liked the leave it in the car or home idea. leaves no trail but still gets the job done.

I know that conversing with a gentleman such as this can be frustrating. I suggest you remember two things:

(1) Sometimes life improves if one lowers her expectations to conform to life's realities. You've apparently failed to take into account that folks such as this gent view events through a very narrow grid. Your expectation of reasonable response to reasonable statement was not reasonable. If you allow for other's limitations you will get pissed off less often. That's easy to do with friends but even more important with people you don't naturally like.

(2) Sometimes if half of what people reveal about themselves is true it may be best to leave them alone. It's not that far to NO and you're easy to find. You might consider that your correspondent gives evidence of a tendency to divide folks into Friends and Enemies. I predict that he has not only spare time but also a small arsenal, so hopefully there's a "They Don't Matter" category, too. Just the same you might want to review your screening procedures.

A note to Mr grtrader: I'm new here and you may not know that what I say often should not be taken at face value. I like to take a position and push it a little. As the site disclaimer says: It's strictly for entertainment purposes. Please don't interpret anything I've said (to or about you) to indicate even the slightest disrespect for you personally.

See, diana, it was easy and covered my bases.

"I'd already sent him back to school and now you seem to be piling on."

actually there was something that you missed. my original post had to be edited to remove what i was responding to - which was against the rules, so i had to remove it. (it contained an email that i copied & pasted from my inbox)

"You've apparently failed to take into account that folks such as this gent view events through a very narrow grid. Your expectation of reasonable response to reasonable statement was not reasonable."

mental note has been made
