A Nice Guy

That being said, I can’t believe all the deceit and duplicity that goes on here. Aliases, counter-aliases—it’s enough to make a nice guy like me swear like a trooper. Which, of course, I would never do. And you call yourselves Bible people!

That kind of Allen-Smith-like dishonesty is for immature people who troll forums to make themselves feel better about themselves.

I believe that Mr JWI raises an excellent point

BTW, is @James Thomas Rook Jr. still around here? I used to like using his shoe when the litterbox was full.

Oh my. That sounds terrible. Bad kitty!

I’ll be ready, TrueTom. Thanks. You rock!

Anybody interested in buying my condo on the lake?

Oh no! TrueTom might leave? But I like him. And I like The Librarian. Such a nice lady.

Why oh why does TrueTom have to be mean to her, calling her an old hen? Can't we all just get along?

I just thought it was a cool idea, and decided I would try my own hand at it.

That's right. He did. And I am glad of it.

That's true. He does.

Who is this windbag who is obscuring counsel and speaking without knowledge?

Not under your "true" name, but who knows, maybe you know "a nice guy" or maybe even a "Virginian" who might want to defend his beliefs?

I don't have to defend them. That's why they're called beliefs. Anything the brothers say.

I, for one, question the authority of @The Librarian!

How can you say that?!! She has worked tirelessly for the interests of all. (the kindly creature) This disloyal comment tells more of YOUR bitter attitude, TrueTom, than it does the Librarian!

(Your books suck. THAT is why she won't let you promote them)

A freeform brawl of a discussion seems to me the best way to get NEW Truths, out of old ideas.

We have been asked by @The Librarian, who is boundlessly wise and kind, to start a new thread whenever we have a new thought. I think it is very important to comply with her wishes. She is only seeking the greater good. I am impressed with the hard work that she tirelessly puts in so that the rest of us may enjoy an enlightening, yet peaceful, forum.

I, for one, will start a new thread if I so much as belch.

I have heard troubling reports that she has been kidnapped by @TrueTomHarley. I certainly hope that this is not true, and if it is, that this misunderstanding is cleared up right away and no harm comes to this fine woman.

Hear hear!

A brilliant performance!

Excuse me, Miss @The Librarian. You told us to talk about overlapping generations. Petie is talking about something else. He shouldn't be doing that. Make him start a new thread.

I'm sure @The Librariandoes what she thinks is best for the orderly good of the entire library. She deserves our admiration.

Actually, it would probably be good to close this topic now as the contributors seem to have run out of steam and it appears to be going off piste.

Apologies

That's when @TrueTomHarley is at his finest.

It is very discouraging to see some resort to ad hominem attacks here. Either address the asinine point or let it pass.

Too, it is wrong to log in under an alias. As a new member, I promise I will never do that. For example, I am not TrueTomHarley. No. I am someone else. 

Let me express my great appreciation for @The Librarian. Surely her hard work and appreciation for institutions of learning benefit us all. Who cannot admire the many tomes of wisdom that sag the shelves of her institution? Who cannot admire her encouragement of new authors, even some who may be on this forum? We all do well to imitate her devotion to research and knowledge. (the old hen)

Who cannot admire how she nurtures people, encouraging shy ones like JTR to come out of his shell?
