Something wrong with my post, or is it too complicated for you to click on?

The problem was yours, Bob -- to most folks, a "GS" job usually refers to a federal government job.

Next time you use an acronym, you should make sure that somebody else hasn't already grabbed it.

“not gov. salary”

Actually, it’s General Schedule (for g-men). And I agree, no one, not even the prez, makes $622,000 on a US government salary. You have to work for the city of Bell (California) if you want a civil service job with that much pay.

GS is the stock identifier for Goldman Sachs...which is the context of the above

I dunno, I came into the conversation real late, and I still figured it out.

“must have misunderstood gs sorry your right”

No prob...I even thought about it when I was writing my first comment...but I was too lazy to look up their spelling.

No hard feelings...

Well, I eventually figured it out after Bob got all pissy and self-righteous about how smart he was. But before that, I was quite on-board with the BS comment.

Maybe you got it right away, because you're drunk...

“Well, I eventually figured it out after Bob got all pissy and self-righteous about how smart he was. “

Pal. First I was called a BS’er, than he asked why I lie. Both without context. I doubt that you would have responded differently.

Actually, you probably would have - you wouldn’t have manhood enough to let it all go once it was clearly a misunderstanding.

As to being smart - you’re damn right I am...but I was only using half of my brain on this thread.

There will be no Mention of Fannie, Freddie, and their Dem patrons.

I doubt it will blame anybody in the government. The top priority for all politicians is to blame anybody but themselves, and at any cost.

Not "wrong." Bob just didn't make his point clearly, because he used an acronym that means something different, and that had proper context to the article in question.

The fault is yours, Bob. You're still all pissy and self-righteous because your unclear meaning was misunderstood.

If one understands "GS workers (including janitors)" according to the usual meaning of the acronym, it is a BS statement.

Jessky's response could have been more polite, but you were not careful, and let's face it ... there are a lot of FReepers who talk like that about actual government employees.

..but I was only using half of my brain on this thread.

Which makes your comments only half-assed?

“dang man we need to move on”

I’m with you, bro. He’s seems to be trying to incite me for no reason at all. I’m done with this thread and that clown. Hopefully we meet on future threads.
