  1. Is it possible that Mr. Sherman has left ARBR at long last? I have noted his
    absence here for the past couple of months. Does he just slink off into the
    night without even saying goodbye?

    As everyone on this group well knows, the Great Ed Dolan does not ever slink
    off quietly. Nay, he leaves ARBR with a bang and a roar. In fact, the Great
    Ed Dolan has taken many final farewells of ARBR with much cussing and
    swearing and slamming of doors. He does not go quietly into that good night.

    Mr. Sherman has been on ARBR like forever. I can't believe he would just
    leave without some kind of explanation. Of course, it may be that he is not
    well or is otherwise indisposed. But if so, then we would like to know.
    After all, when you have been on a group for as many years as Mr. Sherman,
    you owe the group some explanation if and when you decide to take leave of
    it.

    Regards,

    Mr. Sherman has been on ARBR like forever. I can't believe he would just

    not well or is otherwise indisposed. But if so, then we would like to
    know. After all, when you have been on a group for as many years as Mr.
    Sherman, you owe the group some explanation if and when you decide to take
    leave of it.

    Another thought that occurs to me is that most of the old-timers have long
    since left this group. There is hardly anyone left here except for yours
    truly. I feel like a ghost wandering about an empty warehouse. I am of
    course on the outs with whatever old-timers are left, but Mr. Sherman was my
    one and only adversary who was worthy of me. But that was in the days when
    he was in fighting trim. For the past year or so he was ever neglectful of
    the Great Ed Dolan. It seems I have the peculiar knack of wearing everyone
    down and leaving them speechless.

    So it may be that Mr. Sherman just got fed up with this group since there is
    no one left here except for idiots, morons and imbeciles. The way things are
    going, I may soon be taking my 7th and final farewell myself. If and when I
    do, I will have a few things to say about the remaining dolts who infest and
    pollute this group. I will compose a masterpiece of invective and leave no
    one out of my bill of particulars.

    The question arises can you have any quality at all without a sufficient
    amount of quantity. I note that I am conversing only with myself lately,
    which is of course of very high quality, but Hells Bells, I already know
    everything there is to know about little old me. RBM has a sufficient
    quantity of posts so that some smidgen of quality does leak through on rare
    occasions.

    There is an extreme danger in any newsgroup being too small. A GIANT like Ed
    Dolan the Great can come to dominate a small group and consequently shoo off
    all the midgets and dwarfs who always make up the majority of any newsgroup.
    That will not happen to RBM because it is a very large group and all the
    idiots and morons counterbalance one another.

    ARBR - rest in peace! We did have some glory years before Ed Gin destroyed
    it.

    Mr. Dolan,

    It seems that once again, you have been condemned by your own words. I
    recommend reading the above, then going to look in a mirror. Perhaps
    you will recognize the person looking back for what he really is.

  6. H E A D Dolan,

    Is it possible that Mr. Sherman has left ARBR at long last? I have
    noted his
    absence here for the past couple of months. Does he just slink off into
    the
    night without even saying goodbye?

    .... Maybe he's had enough of your [censored] and felt you were not worth the
    effort of a good-bye. Tom and I had our differences, but we
    unfortunately also had one thing in common ... YOU!!!

    As everyone on this group well knows, the Great Ed Dolan does not ever
    slink
    off quietly. Nay, he leaves ARBR with a bang and a roar. In fact, the
    Great
    Ed Dolan has taken many final farewells of ARBR with much cussing and
    swearing and slamming of doors. He does not go quietly into that good
    night.

    .... You refer to people out here as imbeciles, morons and idiots and
    indicate that you have taken many final farewells of ARBR. Just what
    don't you understand about the word "final" that you qualify it
    with the word "many" ... ex-librarian??? Who care's how you leave
    ARBR. As the T-shirt says ... JUST DO IT!!!

    Mr. Sherman has been on ARBR like forever. I can't believe he would
    just
    leave without some kind of explanation. Of course, it may be that he is
    not
    well or is otherwise indisposed. But if so, then we would like to know.

    .... WE??? Now you speak for all of us, do you??? Tom doesn't owe any
    of us an explanation, least of all you.

    After all, when you have been on a group for as many years as Mr.
    Sherman,
    you owe the group some explanation if and when you decide to take leave
    of
    it.

    .... Tom owes the group no explanation. You owe the group an
    explanation for staying since you have promised to leave and not to
    return countless times.

    Another thought that occurs to me is that most of the old-timers have
    long
    since left this group. There is hardly anyone left here except for
    yours
    truly.

    .... Most have had enough of your [censored] and departed. Ed Gin and his
    buddies certainly did this and other newsgroups no favor by their
    presence, but if anyone killed this newsgroup, you did.

    I feel like a ghost wandering about an empty warehouse. I am of
    course on the outs with whatever old-timers are left, but Mr. Sherman
    was my
    one and only adversary who was worthy of me.

    .... Egomania and delusions at work again. Nurse ... time for Mr.
    Dolan's meds.

    But that was in the days when
    he was in fighting trim. For the past year or so he was ever neglectful
    of
    the Great Ed Dolan. It seems I have the peculiar knack of wearing
    everyone
    down and leaving them speechless.

    .... Neglectful or is it that he just has better things to do than
    entertain you and your nonsense. What you have a knack for is boring
    people.

    So it may be that Mr. Sherman just got fed up with this group since
    there is
    no one left here except for idiots, morons and imbeciles.

    .... and, I presume you include yourself in one of those three groups???

    The way things are
    going, I may soon be taking my 7th and final farewell myself. If and
    when I
    do, I will have a few things to say about the remaining dolts who
    infest and
    pollute this group. I will compose a masterpiece of invective and leave
    no
    one out of my bill of particulars.

    .... You heartbreaker. Please tell me it isn't so. Don't leave us.
    What will we ever do without you??? If you need some help with that
    masterpiece of yours, I'll volunteer my services, since you can't write
    for [censored]. By the way, who do you think really gives a [censored] about what
    you think of them??? Those that haven't already kill-filed you have
    long since excluded you from thie know universe.

    The question arises can you have any quality at all without a
    sufficient
    amount of quantity. I note that I am conversing only with myself
    lately,

    it.

    .... If Ed Gin destroyed ARBR, then how is it that you are still here???
    Ed, no one could rival the stature of the parasitic anathema that you
    have been on ARBR. You'll not be missed. Don't let the door hit you
    in the ass on the way out. When you finally pass on, have someone post
    your burial location so those that wish to do so can [censored] on your
    grave.

    Ken is one of the very few who is able to pick up on my brand of humor. Yes,
    the Great Ed Dolan is suffused with self-awareness and so he knows exactly
    what he is doing and saying at all times, much to the consternation of such
    dolts as JimmyMac, et al.

    Still, does anyone know where Tom Sherman is?

    Sounds like you're upset because he didn't kiss you goodbye.

    Tom thought you were a crazy idiot the same as do I. The only time you show
    up on these newsgroup is to bring your personal screeds to the group. You
    did it with Ed Gin, you did it with Tom Sherman and now you are doing it
    with me. I will extend to you even less courtesy than they did.

    ANYONE who has been on a newsgroup for many years, posting almost daily, who

    JimmyMac is a not regular poster on ARBR so he can come and go as he pleases
    and no one will notice. But a regular like Tom Sherman cannot. I expect him
    to behave like a gentleman and not like a skunk. An explanation is owed to
    the other regulars at the very least.

    One thing is for sure. ARBR does not need any jerks like JimmyMac around.
    The only time he shows up is when he is feuding with Ed Gin, Tom Sherman or
    Ed Dolan. How interesting can that be for the rest of the group? It is
    really characters like JimmyMac who have done as much as anyone to kill
    ARBR.

    Bottom line, JimmyMac is a crank and that is all he has ever been. He has no
    regard for the group and never makes any contribution to it whatsoever. He
    just cranks and cranks and cranks. How tiresome can you get!

    talk to except me. He surely had no interest in talking to an [censored] like
    you. Even though the both of you were sympathetic to homos, even you proved
    too much for him. Do your pupils know that you think it is just fine and
    dandy to be a [censored]?

    Sounds like you're upset because he didn't kiss you goodbye.

    Enjoy,

    JimmyMac, you confounded idiot! Look at your post and then compare it
    to all
    others. You are not formatting correctly. The side marks (>😉 are all
    wrong.
    Get yourself a decent newsreader or get lost!

    .... Had a look and could care less. I have no intention of dancing to
    your music.

    Quoted message said:

    Is it possible that Mr. Sherman has left ARBR at long last? I have
    noted his
    absence here for the past couple of months. Does he just slink off into
    the
    night without even saying goodbye?

    Quoted message said:

    ... Maybe he's had enough of your [censored] and felt you were not worth the
    effort of a good-bye. Tom and I had our differences, but we
    unfortunately also had one thing in common ... YOU!!!

    Tom thought you were a crazy idiot the same as do I. The only time you
    show
    up on these newsgroup is to bring your personal screeds to the group.
    You
    did it with Ed Gin, you did it with Tom Sherman and now you are doing
    it
    with me. I will extend to you even less courtesy than they did.

    .... Opinion stated as fact. Does cheese come with the whine??? Don't
    sing it. Bring it!!! Want some ... come get some!!!

    As everyone on this group well knows, the Great Ed Dolan does not ever
    slink
    off quietly. Nay, he leaves ARBR with a bang and a roar. In fact, the
    Great
    Ed Dolan has taken many final farewells of ARBR with much cussing and
    swearing and slamming of doors. He does not go quietly into that good
    night.

    Quoted message said:

    ... You refer to people out here as imbeciles, morons and idiots and
    indicate that you have taken many final farewells of ARBR. Just what
    don't you understand about the word "final" that you qualify it
    with the word "many" ... ex-librarian??? Who care's how you leave
    ARBR. As the T-shirt says ... JUST DO IT!!!

    Quoted message said:

    Mr. Sherman has been on ARBR like forever. I can't believe he would
    just
    leave without some kind of explanation. Of course, it may be that he is
    not
    well or is otherwise indisposed. But if so, then we would like to know.

    Quoted message said:

    ... WE??? Now you speak for all of us, do you??? Tom doesn't owe any
    of us an explanation, least of all you.

    ANYONE who has been on a newsgroup for many years, posting almost
    daily, who
    then leaves the group owes the other regulars some kind of explanation.

    .... This is a logical fallacy known as Non Sequitur, or stating, as a
    conclusion, something that does not strictly follow from the premise.

    JimmyMac is a not regular poster on ARBR so he can come and go as he
    pleases
    and no one will notice.

    .... Opinion stated as fact. If you were more regular, you wouldn't
    be so full of [censored]!!!

    But a regular like Tom Sherman cannot. I expect him
    to behave like a gentleman and not like a skunk. An explanation is owed
    to
    the other regulars at the very least.

    .... Neither Tom, nor I, nor anyone else was put on God's green earth to
    live up to your expectations. When are you going to master this
    elementary concept, brain dead???

    Quoted message said:

    After all, when you have been on a group for as many years as Mr.
    Sherman,
    you owe the group some explanation if and when you decide to take leave
    of
    it.

    Quoted message said:

    ... Tom owes the group no explanation. You owe the group an
    explanation for staying since you have promised to leave and not to
    return countless times.

    .... More opinion stated as fact and repetition of the Non Sequitur
    addressed above. This logical fallacy is know as Argumentum ad nauseam
    or attempting to prove something by saying it again, and again, and
    again. No matter how many times you repeat something, it will not
    become any more or less true than it was in the first place. Got that
    dunderhead??? I refer you to what I said above regarding no one being
    put on God's green earth to live up to your expectations.

    Quoted message said:

    Another thought that occurs to me is that most of the old-timers have
    long
    since left this group. There is hardly anyone left here except for
    yours
    truly.

    Quoted message said:

    ... Most have had enough of your [censored] and departed. Ed Gin and his
    buddies certainly did this and other newsgroups no favor by their
    presence, but if anyone killed this newsgroup, you did.

    How would you know? The only occasions when you are on ARBR is when you
    are
    engaging in your personal screeds.
    [...]

    .... Let's just say that I have been here more that long enough to have
    heard the opinions of the readership to which you selectively turn a
    deaf ear. If I am wrong prove me wrong, why not rove me wrong. Take
    up the challenge. Conduct a poll. Call for a vote. You won't because
    you don't have the testicular fortitude to be confronted with the
    truth.

    Quoted message said:

    ARBR - rest in peace! We did have some glory years before Ed Gin
    destroyed
    it.

    Quoted message said:

    ... If Ed Gin destroyed ARBR, then how is it that you are still here???

    I am the caretaker overseeing the graveyard that has now become ARBR.

    .... How noble of you. First you kill ARBR. Then, mourn its passage.
    Then, you appoint yourself the caretaker. Why don't you retire
    caretaker? A dead ARBR does not require your "services".

    Quoted message said:

    Ed, no one could rival the stature of the parasitic anathema that you
    have been on ARBR. You'll not be missed. Don't let the door hit you
    in the ass on the way out. When you finally pass on, have someone post
    your burial location so those that wish to do so can [censored] on your
    grave.

    One thing is for sure. ARBR does not need any jerks like JimmyMac
    around.
    The only time he shows up is when he is feuding with Ed Gin, Tom
    Sherman or
    Ed Dolan. How interesting can that be for the rest of the group? It is
    really characters like JimmyMac who have done as much as anyone to kill
    ARBR.

    Bottom line, JimmyMac is a crank and that is all he has ever been. He
    has no
    regard for the group and never makes any contribution to it whatsoever.
    He
    just cranks and cranks and cranks. How tiresome can you get!

    .... At least I am selective in choosing an adversary. You feud with
    everyone. How interesting is that for the rest of the group. Wait a
    minute. There is no rest of the group since you are feuding with
    everyone. You just can't tolerate the fact that you have no one but
    yourself to blame for having challenging me in a private email to take
    your sorry ass on in ARBR forum. So, now you have regrets for having
    laid down the gauntlet, invoking a formidable adversary. You asked for
    it. You deserve it. Who am I to deprive you? Tell you what. I'll
    cut you a deal. I've heard no complaints from anyone else but you want
    me out of here. I've heard many complain that they want you out of
    here. If you leave, I'll be right behind you ... DEAL or NO DEAL???

    .... What we have here is classic 101 Psych textbook stuff ... the
    manifestation of a defense mechanism known as projection or the
    attribution of one's undesired impulses onto another. This accusation
    fits Ed Dolan quite nicely. He has no regard for the group,
    contributes nothing and a tiresome crank he certainly describes him
    well.

  18. Ed,

    If you were the only person left for Tom to talk to and he left, I
    think you can draw your own conclusions. Regardless, You should be as
    happy as a pig in [censored]. You have yourself to talk to. How bad can
    that be? After all, you have said contless times that no one is worthy
    of you accept you. Have fun playing with yourself!

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Anyone else notice how much
    JimmyMac is beginning to write like me in some respects. But over all, he
    lacks a sense of proportion does not know how to move a conversation along.
    As always, he is longwinded to no point and further, there is invariably
    something wrong with his formatting. He is supposed to know something about
    computers and software having previously been employed in that field, and
    yet he cannot format a simple post to Usenet so that it makes sense to the
    reader.

    Ed,

    No need to address me personally as everyone in the world can read what is
    written to Usenet. In fact, that is who should have uppermost in your mind
    at all times when you are posting a message to Usenet. You should never
    write as though your message is just for one other person, even if that one
    other person is none other than Ed Dolan the Great.

    I will try to drag some of the members of RBM over to ARBR. They seem like a
    good lot if a bit on the dumb and stupid side. We here on ARBR got fed up
    with JimmyMac's [censored] years ago. All he is good for is feuding endlessly like
    a widdle kid. Let's face it, if you are almost 60 years of age and you have
    not outgrown your teens, then you never will. Quite sad really.

    Well, everyone cannot be Great like ME. It is just a law of nature that
    there can only be a few Great Ones. All the perseverance in the world will
    not make you Great. You have to be to the manor born like Ed Dolan the
    Great.
