Subject: Where is Tom Sherman - Fourth Query?
|
How is it possible for someone to just leave a newsgroup without a word
after having been on it like forever posting dozens of messages every day on
every topic imaginable. No, something is very wrong here in the land of
Usenet.
I am convinced there is someone on ARBR who knows exactly what has happened
to Tom Sherman. It is OK to tell me. I will not bother him at all but I am
imagining all sorts of horrible things that may have happened to him. I
simply want to be reassured that he just left and is in good health in the
real world, happily riding his Earth Cycles recumbents in northern Illinois.

No one could stalk you if you weren't here. Save you breath. You'll
need it to blow up your date.

What we have here is yet another example of the same old hakneyed cut
and paste boilerplate from the man who does it best. Subsititue "Ed
Dolan" for "Jimbo" in your final sentence and you will have said at
least one thing with which I can agree ... your self-portrait. - Jim

Ed,
You have said, and I quote ... Usenet is strictly for idiots, assholes
and jerks - positively no exceptions! Perhaps Tom Sherman refuses to
be constrained by your shortsighted, errant classification. Maybe he
would return if you would just leave. What incentive does Tom have to
return knowing that he will again be labeled abused by you??? After
all you have said, and I quote ... I can state with absolute assurance
that I am the Greatest Idiot, the Greatest Asshole and the Greatest
Jerk that Usenet has ever known. With this you fourth lament over loss
of Tom Sherman, you have betrayed your unremitting fear ... that of an
apathetic and dwindling audience. Countless times you have even
condemned those that have kill-filed you. In effect, you have
empowered the readership to be your worst nighte. This is a telling
indication that you are haunted by an unrelenting awareness that you
are only a mouse-click away from oblivion.

Only Tom Sherman was worthy of one so Great as Myself. All the rest of you
are pygmies, dwarfs and midgets by comparison. Mr. Sherman was an
intellectual and knew how to argue about things. Yes, he was wrong headed
about most things, but it was the argument itself that was the fascination.
He is sorely missed here on ARBR as is proved every day be the dearth of
interesting posts.
Mr. Sherman has left for reasons of his own that have nothing to do with me.
I miss him because he was one of the very few who understood where I was
coming from. Poor Jimbo is too wrapped up in himself to ever have any
appreciation of anyone who is different from him.
