Ed Dolan struggled to scribble...
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!!!

Quoted message said: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.
"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.
JimmyMac is not a 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

the other regulars at the very least." - Ed Dolan
.... 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???
Quoted message said:Bottom line, JimmyMac is a crank and that is all he has ever been. He has no

just cranks and cranks and cranks. How tiresome can you get!
.... 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.
