Just What Is An Anal Buffoon?

More than a year ago, in a moment of frustration, I referred to a poster who was continually disrupting all opportunities for intellectual discourse with some of the most backward, absurd defenses of wrong behavior that could be imagined. They just said the same things over and over whining about how wonderful they were and how evil I was. After several days of this jerks disruptive behavior I referred to him as an "anal buffoon" which obviously they took as some kind of profanity. Even after I explained in a later post what the term mean and how i had intended it the person, I guess, was too embarrassed at his own ignorance that they continued to whine about ugliness of my comment.
Anal  in addition to referring to the rectal area also describes the personality trait of overly controlling through meticulous behaviors. Buffoon refers to a ludicrous personage such as a clown. Basically what I did was call the person a "controlling clown". Apparently to this day the person continues to sting from this very accurate description.
I write this today in-order to set the record straight as the whiner has once again brought up the subject in a very negative way.

Correction Officers At The Jail And Their Bonus

Recently the County Commission rightly approved giving the severely underpaid Correction Officers at the county jail a small bonus and promise to revise the pay scale for jail employees.
Some of the breakfast club members got the word that officers at the jail had taken the bonuses then resigned which of course would have defeated the whole purpose of the bonuses.
To set the record straight one person at the jail resigned their position in order to move with their husband who was being transferred  out of the county through his job.  There have been some temporaries hired at the jail to fill in for personnel who have been deployed with their Guard and reserve units.
