Kindof quiet lately. The usual right wing protagonists don't seem to be starting any new threads. Larry seems to be around but keeping a low profile.

Thank goodness Teacher has a volunteer Hall Monitor.

You mean after acknowledging my sharing of personal news with good wishes, now you lay out a thread insulting me for not being here for what you should see as obvious reasons. Further insulting me by declaring me a right wing protagonist?

I've been insulted in all different ways on this forum, but this is about as big of a fuking insult as any of them.

You *****(gripe) if I'm here posting and you *****(gripe) if I'm NOT here posting even when there is good reason for my time to be limited.

"right wing protagonist"

Well, Larry, is it a mistake to review the body of your work on Open Discussion and conclude that you are politically conservative?

As far as the word protagonist goes:

pro·tag·o·nist

/proʊˈtęgənɪst/ Show Spelled [proh-tag-uh-nist] Show IPA
noun

1. the leading character, hero, or heroine of a drama or other literary work.

2. a proponent for or advocate of a political cause, social program, etc.

3. the leader or principal person in a movement, cause, etc.

4. the first actor in ancient Greek drama, who played not only the main role, but also other roles when the main character was offstage.

I don't see a derogatory interpretation here at all.

Take it easy - no need to bite anyone's head off. It's not as if Tom has a track record of trolling.

Yes. Yes it did.

I wasn't able to read the forum yesterday at lunch, I came in today expecting to see some more threads and seems like it was pretty quite around here.

I'm sorry. None of what I read came across as an insult. You are on the right side of the political spectrum, no?

I sensed no gripes from Tom either. He just observed that you've--understandably--not made many posts lately.

I am not complaining that Larry is subdued.

Easy there big fellow.

The forum just seems a bit slow. Perhaps its just back to school time.

Really?

The reference to "usual right wing protagonists" isn't exactly a compliment, is it?

And it's followed by specifically calling out Larry.

At the least it's a cheap shot.

And it's the basis for starting a thread...really?

Just sad.

Calling out? That's your idea of a call out? Do you believe that Tom issued a challenge to Larry by stating that he's around but keeping a low profile around here? Was Larry previously avoiding or evading contact with Tom?

Left wing loons are quiet in here too. Tom must be slipping as well.
