My dear unhappy Allegra. It appears you are totally out of touch with contemporary Americana. Are you even living in the US any more? GIBBS is the popular hero and father figure on the extremely popular original and continuing NCIS show about agents in the US naval intelligence service. He is beloved by all his agents. Occasionally, he gives a light backhand swat on the back of the head if someone says something really stupid. It’s kind of a wake up and pay attention thing, and is not resented by his team members. Please don’t feel threatened by reference to the mild gesture of a beloved, slightly annoyed, father figure.
I haven’t noticed Revmom’s posts listed on a Latest Posts feed. Mostly she sends to people who have expressed interest in being notified about her latest compendium of 2 day old information on Ukraine. Personally, I would be happy if she just pinged me for Comment 2, and the summary post from the guy who reports on what has happened on each day by number of the most recent day of this stupid war that Putin could stop by merely going home to Russia. If you don’t like it, stop looking.
From the few removed comments I have seen before removal, they appear to use some especially nasty language, and personal attributions of other FReepers. Your’s are NOT removed because you don’t use such language, which is why Revmom’s are also not removed.
Please take me off of your ping list. I’m not even going to read your post. The first few words clearly indicate that you are trying to stir up crap from several days ago. You weren’t even part of the conversation.
That’s just trolling. You’re one of the flying monkeys that I do my best to avoid.
Please refrain from posting to me any further.
Thank you.
Don’t ping me. Ever.
Thanks.
