A couple questions for FBB.......
Just wondering.........
1. I have noticed that when you post on other forums (like Homesteading Questions), your grammar and spelling is MUCH better than your posts here on Singletree. Why is that???
2. Why do you start so many threads that get pulled for review???'
It would seem that you would know that it is going to get pulled........so, apparently you were not really expecting to have a conversation with anyone.......and if you did want a conversation about a topic not allowed here......you have an alternative board to go to....... So, it seems as if you really wanted to have that conversation, you would have gone to the aternative board.
Why do you start so many threads that you must know are going to get pulled????

Now you can sit back and wait for Bill's explanation as to why he does what he does.

I have often wondered the same things. Usually, I pass over threads of yours, FBB

I don't think that it's necessarily Bill's fault that his threads get pulled(not all the time anyway  ), but some people's reactions to those topics that cause the poofs.

Now ladies, Y'all know Bill's just lashing out irrationally in order to get a rise. I've heard that IRL he's a standup guy. When you fuss over his hi-jinx, he sits home and chuckles in his Geritol shake.

I think he just likes to poke a stick in the ant hill.

It must be time for my annual FBB topic post, where I tell the new people how I have met FBB years ago at an HT gathering..FBB is, in reality, articulate, intelligent, talented and funny......why he chooses to pretend that he is a barely literate hillbilly-type is beyond my comprehension.

I knew I read this somewhere bos! Have you noticed the cyclical nature of thread topics too?

If I was a hillbilly I would be seriously offended by a comparison to FBB.
IMO he thinks it is cute and attractive to act like a 12 year old boy, making sexual topics out of double meanings to words. It may be to some women but haven't seen it work in his favor here, of course it does serve to drive off 99.99 percent of women and the other .01 wouldn't meet his high qualifications.

Had a neighbor once who had an old dog that he could not get to stop chasing his chickens. It when on and on. Finally, when his hens stopped laying and he had to start buying eggs, he gave that dog away to a family that lived in the burbs. They loved that dog. Said he was well behaved and never caused much trouble. Just goes to show ya.

He pretends to be a barely literate hick because he doesn't want to have any woman attracted to him here. If you really read his posts, you will see that he is very much wanting to have someone in his life, but is afraid to for a number of reasons....such as having the same thing happen to him that has happened 3 times already, being aware he doesn't have a whole lot materially to offer someone and figuring that no one would want to live like he does, and he is afraid of falling for someone and having them feel that he just isnt enough.
In other words, Bill is human.
As for the second, he starts the thread to stir the pot. He has said so many times already. If people don't like them, then not posting in them would be the best response to them

I like thinking that everybody got the same rights that I do.
I bet everybody here said some pretty dumb crap before. More than once, too.

Just a thought: In conversation, sometimes we can't tell if the person is a bad speller or not, or if their paws are a bit clumsy on the keyboard. Just like the rest of us, FBB is ignorant of a few things but he is no dummy, by a long shot.
Judging by a few of the posts I have seen, I think he is a tender-hearted old soul. I suspect maybe he comes off a bit anti-woman to ward off any potential heartbreak.
BTW, what would HT be without our resident...um....words fail me now...lol

I have seen both kinds of attacks made on him: some totally uncalled for and unprovoked, and some that he has deliberately provoked with infernal pot-stirring posts. I couldn't help but notice something he does have that I wish I had more of: infinite patience and restraint, which is a measure of strength that few possess.

I think he gets special treatment from the mods.

Definitely not the case. He's subject to the same haphazard, schizo moderation that the rest of us here are.
StarJJ, for whatever reason, you're critical of Bill regardless of what he has to say or how he says it. You are my friend, but Bill is, too.
If this thread were a legitimate inquiry, rather than an attempt to start a bill-bashing, it shoulda' been a PM.
Without a little country-flavored flair in our writings, we woulda' never had a Mark Twain.
