Zero Tolerance!

I’ve been blogging this weekend, much to the chagrin of my far-better half. I’m  a lousy quitter, what can I say.  I tried — hard.  I read math, papers, did calcs, did some CAD, played with the kids, watched movies.  We’re babysitting an awesome golden retreiver.   You know, fun stuff.

So in my blog reading, I spent some time playing with Bart Verheggen’s crowd.  They like me, what can I say. Well, MapleLeaf, whom is thoroughly crazy, has accused me of intended violence against Eli Rabbet.   And I have a new nickname.

Here’s the exchange copied below with stuff removed starting with Eli’s rip on lukewarmers. Why post it? Because the zero tolerance crowd  – is not sane!

   June 12, 2011 at 07:10 Hmm, Jeff seems to have acquired himself a nickname, and a very suitable one too.

   Bart,

   Perhaps it is the crowd you hang out with.

   I’m spoiled, I know. Thanks for the recipe though, have you tried it? (no disrespect intended to the bunny)

   June 12, 2011 at 20:27 Bart,Jeff has made a threat of violence against Eli above.

   And don’t you or Jeff try and defend it with “but it was a parody” or “but there was a winky face” or some similar lame excuses. That was a threat of violence against Eli, to kill him and cook him. And yes, we here all know who Eli is (including Jeff) and that he is not a bunny, so I do not see much room for weaseling on this one. Would not be surprised if one of Jeff’s pals delivers a dead bunny to Eli’s door, similar to what someone did to Santer.

   And note that Jeff, having no compelling or substantive argument (other than referring to one of his fav blogs) to make, makes violent threats and then leaves.

   This all reminds why I stopped posting here a while ago….

   June 12, 2011 at 21:22 I sincerely apologize to MapleLeaf and Eli for inadvertently insinuating that I might consider cooking and eating Eli or any other rabbit -with garlic and a glass of wine. My hope is that with counseling and family support we can all recover from this unintended horrific exchange.Waskly wabbit.
