Ideal Age?

[Bruce]

I know it is hard to drop the mularky..........but it makes good sense to at this point, until the next big dollop of mularky hits.

Billy, I firmly believe every individual, especially the individuals you feel may have slighted you in the past sincerely wish you and your fiance the absolute best and will give you all the advice in the world if asked when she gets Stateside.  Arguing over minor points until the cows come home is just a waste...........I know I sometimes fall into the same trap but just accept that you may or may not be right and move on.  Righteousness is great, but sometimes there is more than one right and there is always a time to stop.  Its sort of like my dog is better than your dog four year old boy talk. 

AJ, you and I have another thing in common, no marriages ending in divorce yet.  I say yet because as we all know, one never knows for sure what the future will bring even amongst the truly lovey dovey, for now.

Jet: Yes I see it very differently.

1) No bait was set. There was no intention to set a bait.

2) I am quite amused and certainly not pissed off.

OK I'll take that at face value, but it didn't appear that way from the grandstands 

4) Go back and read what I wrote...........it went something like, I learned to seldom scan his posts and so on.............FFS how simple is that? I didn't say they were completely worthless, I never said he knew nothing, I simply said he posts way outside his experience level and as such I simply scan and pass over most of his wafflings. Later in the thread I confirmed KenC's remark that I think he has no clue as to how it will be when he gets his G/F home.

I think if you solicited opinions, 4 out of 5 would agree that In a phrase, "Not a clue". and he knew nothing are synonymous, so yeah, you kinda did.

3) Billy wrote no less than 4 PM's trying to justify his case over the airport thing and it is this reason and this reason alone that it stuck in my memory. I've never received 4 such animated PM's from anyone on any forum, ever. Bottom line was, he didn't know and changed (Publically) tack when called, to try to justify erroneous information.
5) The man argued black and blue, no question about that. I DID NOT say he did so on the public board.

Well, once you start citing evidence that nobody else can access besides you, that pretty much brings this discussion to a grinding halt.  :noidea:

Personally, I think when Dan feels the biggest problem with RWD is long time posters posting stupid things that are going to ruin the lives of newbies who don't know how to sort the truth from the trash he will assign the job to fixing it to someone.

Point 2.   If someone has had a failure in a marriage or so it does not make their advice worthless.   Sometimes we learn from our mistakes and that failure can make us a far wiser person.

Point 3.   My take on all this is the same as Jet's.  Reading this whole thread it seemed to me that starting with I believe it was post 10 there was a lot of bait put out hoping someone would pick it up to have a spirited discussion, (argument in more plain terms).  Billy took the bait and here we are.

Point 4.   I see a lot of good posts from everyone and I think probably everyone in their life has said something stupid.  We are people, at least most of us.   When we disagree I can't see that someone who disagrees by saying.  "Billy you are a clueless idiot and should settle for having a dog for a pet rather than a wife" is accomplishing anything to make his point.   To me it shows either someone has no ability to make their point or no point worth making.

Billy's statement that they felt he had insufficient knowledge was that if the subject of age difference comes up often it is an issue.  To me far more is accomplished if someone disagrees arguing in this way.......

Billy,  I can see your point about the subject of age difference coming up.  I can agree in part but on other things I think I disagree.   I am in a relationship with an age difference as you know.   It never comes up in general discussion however we have had long and deep discussions about the practical side of the age difference, making sure she is ready for the real problems that she may face and to me if those don't come up it would be a bad sign.  ..............

I have never seen anyone disagree with the idea that when we don't like something we should attack the ideas and not the person.   I think if we all think about what we are attacking when we disagree with someone it would be a better place.

OK, time to get off my soapbox.

Three people do not get into such an argument unless all three are passionate about the journey of meeting and marrying a good RW.  That is good. 

KenC and I/O – I respect the advice you give.  Yet, I would never ignore what others have to say if I had a question.  No matter how smart one head is, two heads are smarter than one.  Even a newbie without a clue may have something to offer. 

What bothers me the most?  Not the unjustified insult to Billy about his knowledge.  It is the fact that this bickering discourages new members from posting and becoming active participants in our community.  Frankly, a few new faces would be refreshing.

Jazzy as KenC is Russian he knows all about Russian souls. 

Not so russian I believe he never told who was his father  no matter really he never lived in Russia and never experienced russian governement , mentality of society people and never been living for 24 years in Russian environment  , so darling Shadow  I believe it is clear

Gator: Sorry I just can't help myself. Man in the context of this thread, don't you see the irony or what you have just said albeit, I suspect, unintended.

Anyway, all that aside, I asked a very simple question which simply requires a yes or no and it doesn't seem Billy is too keen to answer, which begs the real question, does he actually have a current G/F or is he rehashing photos from a few years back to live out some fantasy?

Mat,

I am stepping in now. This has gone too far and this latest innuendo is WAY over the line.

Locking the thread - and you (and a few others) should look for a PM from me soon.
