"Bob" > wrote in message ... > > You must consider the source; Brian is an idiot. >> Bob just got my undivided attention. Kindly explain (in 500 words or less) why my response makes me an idiot. If you extrapolate (that basically means to expand, Bob) what I wrote into a more general framework, you see there was a valid point to be made beyond the sanitation practices of ancient Sumerians. It has to do with an over-reliance on traditional winemaking methodologies, at the expense of knowledge that scientific study has made available to us over the years. There is undeniably a certain rustic charm to wine made the way Grandpa did back home in Portugal (or wherever), indeed I have personally enjoyed the experience of grabbing a tumbler and dipping it into a communal pail of freshly fermented plonk alongside a few other old country grape buyers in a little shop on a cool fall morning with wasps buzzing lazily about in a drunken, placid state. But that doesn't mean I would recommend their methods to people looking to improve their winemaking skills. But really, we both know this wasn't about anything I said to Dan. You just have a long memory about things I've said about you in the past. Really Bob, after having this festering in you for ages, is that the best you could come up with? Brian is an idiot? Well, if it makes you feel better.... Forsooth, I am stung to the quick. Or something like that. Brian |

As I said before, I am new to this newsgroup...so I don't really know if the
two of you guys (Bob and Brian) have debated before, but I get the impression that you guys are old friends. First of all, I would like to say to Brian that I realize your comments about a possible past life as an ancient Sumerian were meant as humor even though I had later said that I felt "put down". Even I am capable of understanding and appreciating the subtle nuances of civil sarcasm, unlike Bob. I actually chuckled when I read it and called my wife over so she could laugh too. It was a great one-liner!!! I would also like to say to Bob that the short one line retort of "Brian is an idiot" gave me an even bigger laugh than the one about being an ancient Sumerian alcoholic in a past life. You guys are great!!!! I really don't want to have anyone upset at me since I love this newsgroup and plan on being a little more active in it as time goes on. But I do feel somewhat responsible for you guys bickering on this particular thread since it started when I mentioned using only soap and water to clean my equipment. Is this bickering an ongoing thing between the two of you or did I somehow spark a fire by my comments of sanitation?

"Dan and Alicia Quagliana" > wrote in message ... > Is this bickering an ongoing thing between the two of you or did I somehow > spark a fire by my comments of sanitation? > Hardly ongoing. I think I took a couple of shots at him long ago, and those elephant genes of his kicked in. I guess he figured the enemy of my enemy is my friend and leapt to your defense. Not sure where Bob went after my response. Perhaps my eloquence left him speechless, perhaps he's just busy trolling in alt.jaw.slack. I don't really post here that much anymore. A quick perusal of some topics, then it's off to my main hangout, rec.crafts.brewing, where I'm a proud card carrying member of the FA's. Yeah, it means what you think it means. Well, I'm glad you weren't offended by my flippant comments. I'd hate to see you spending time in the sulk room with Bob. He's really not very good company. ;-) Brian |
