BTW (and this is the last time I will ever address this issue), if
you or several others haven't figured it out, there are five
different people who post under this handle. One of them is indeed
named George, and I won't reveal anything further about him without
his permission except that he is an expert VP player and has been a
resident of Vegas for fifteen+ years.>>>

That explains the sudden mood changes. So now there's 5 different
personalities stuck in one email address. I didn't figure it out because I don't care.

The pattern I've seen is that ROJ (1/2/3/4/5?) looks for any little excuse
to push his agenda. (I was painfully surprised that my recent misposting to
jackessiebabe was perverted into an attack on Skip and the members of vpmail.)

In his posts, he parcels out information, some of it good and factual which
I've agreed with, but there's the inevitable bile that you have to drink with
it. It's actually comforting to know that there's 5 people posting because it
would be scary to imagine that so much hate could be contained in one
person.

If you haven't figured it out, ROJ gets his kicks out of provoking you with
his strong statements. He doesn't want an objective discussion but he needs
your comeback in order to use it as a springboard to making his point.

We could all bite our tongues and subscribe to the good neighbor
(free-speechers) policy of grin & bear it. That means we all suffer. Or we could ask
hotel management to move the noisemaker to the room marked FREEvpFREE where
he'll be right at home with all the others who like loud noises.

As for ROJ (all 5 of them), he/they deserve our pity. If the only way to get
your kicks is to make others miserable, it means you'll never have a good
day. His net worth is a lot larger than mine, but it's obvious that money didn't
buy happiness. I sincerely hope he continues to do well financially but I
also hope he finds out what happiness is.

BTW (and this is the last time I will ever address this issue),

if

you or several others haven't figured it out, there are five
different people who post under this handle. One of them is

indeed

named George, and I won't reveal anything further about him

without

his permission except that he is an expert VP player and has been

a

resident of Vegas for fifteen+ years.>>>

That explains the sudden mood changes. So now there's 5 different
personalities stuck in one email address. I didn't figure it out

because I don't care.

The pattern I've seen is that ROJ (1/2/3/4/5?) looks for any

little excuse to push his agenda. (I was painfully surprised that my
recent misposting to jackessiebabe was perverted into an attack on
Skip and the members of vpmail.)

If I had an "agenda", I would be a lot more assiduous in "pushing"
it. My basic message over the years is that dealings with casinos
should be taken with a level of caution that a person might not need
to use when dealing with other businesses/entities: one's guard
needs to be up. If you disagree with this, fine. Your prerogative.

In his posts, he parcels out information, some of it good and

factual which I've agreed with, but there's the inevitable bile
that you have to drink with it.

If this post of yours doesn't constitute "bile", then I don't know
what does.

It's actually comforting to know that there's 5 people posting
because it would be scary to imagine that so much hate could be
contained in one person.

Well, it isn't proportional; it's more like 80/10/5/3/2 percent. I
do the majority of the posting. The emotion you misconstrue
as "hate" is more like disgust and indignation, as I abhor
dishonesty and ripoffs. When I see these, I react strongly.

If you haven't figured it out, ROJ gets his kicks out of provoking

you with his strong statements. He doesn't want an objective
discussion but he needs your comeback in order to use it as a
springboard to making his point.

First: you don't know me, you've never met me, you don't KNOW how I
get my "kicks". I make strong statements regarding things I feel
strongly about. You can misconstrue my motives as simply trying to
provoke reactions, but that would be jumping to conclusions,
misanalyzing, and (most of all) wrong.

We could all bite our tongues and subscribe to the good neighbor
(free-speechers) policy of grin & bear it. That means we all

suffer. Or we could ask hotel management to move the noisemaker to
the room marked FREEvpFREE where he'll be right at home with all
the others who like loud noises.

You only suffer to the extent that you read the posts you dislike
(which is voluntary), react/respond to them (which is voluntary),
work yourself into a tizzy that there's someone out there saying
things you don't like/want to hear (which is voluntary)...get my
drift?

As for ROJ (all 5 of them), he/they deserve our pity. If the only

way to get your kicks is to make others miserable, it means you'll
never have a good day.

Bad logic/faulty conclusion. I enjoy my life and get my kicks from
many activities and sources: my music collection, the extensive
travel I am able to enjoy, my nieces and nephew, my friends
scattered over the whole U.S., good food, good books, and driving up
into the mountains on a nice day. I don't enjoy making anyone
miserable, and I don't think I HAVE made anyone miserable; posting
some things on an open-to-the-public Yahoo newsgroup that SOME
people MAY dislike is a far cry from that. On the other hand, if
YOU'RE miserable as a result of reading my posts, I think we can
blame some kind of chemical imbalance rather than anything said by
nasty ol' me.

His net worth is a lot larger than mine, but it's obvious that
money didn't buy happiness.

No, but I've been able to lease it with very favorable terms.

I sincerely hope he continues to do well financially but I

also hope he finds out what happiness is.

No prob, I already have.
