Way too wordy Ken - and it is totally lacking in any genuine directness. But
that is the trade mark of jimmymac. He has been bamboozled by dictionaries
and thesauruses. It is what those who lack a real education substitute for
it. jimmymac is not unintelligent, but he lacks perspective. Most of all, he
lacks a voice of his own. Very sad, but there is just no way you can make up
for a lack of genuine education.

Jim McNamara is just about the funniest fellow I have ever encountered. How
to account for his tone deafness?

I attribute it to envy of the educated. He writes as though he is pulling
words out of a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms. Let's face it, no one
but no one writes like he does. Not even he does. It just reeks of falseness
through and through. Jim has no voice of his own. He is a carbon man, one
who imitates what he thinks is educated.

The most pathetic aspect of Jim is his earnestness. It is a mistake that he
makes with every antagonist he has ever taken on. He made a fool of himself
with Tom Sherman and even Ed Gin, who was a scum bucket of the first
magnitude. He knows words, but he does not know how they fit together. He is
unable to extract the meanings that are being expressed, however
inexpertly, by those who write to ARBR.

Readers,

Ed knows nothing of my level of education or my intelligence. I am not
deficient in either. I'll not apologize for being articulate. I pity
Ed for his inability to comprehend his mother tongue despite having
once been a librarian.

[JimmyMac]

Ed,

Even though English is your mother tongue and you were once a
librarian, you were under no obligation to apologize for your inability
to comprehend the written word.

Jim,

He most likely failed as a librarian because of his inability to
comprehend the written word. Comprehension is something Ed totally
lacks. He's merely an educated moron.

Jim mistakes wordiness for good writing (although the above was well
written). The only correction for it is to immerse yourself in great
literature. Relying on dictionaries of synonyms and antonyms is what the
ill-educated do so as to make up for their deficiencies. Unfortunately for
him, I can see clear through that sort of thing. However, there are other
bozos here on ARBR who obviously can't. It greatly amuses me to see one
clown being appreciated by other clowns for all the wrong reasons.

By the way, the only good writer here on ARBR, besides myself of course, is
Tom Sherman. Lately he has decided to become nothing but a ghost making
cryptic comments which no one understands. But even when he is writing
nonsense, he still writes it correctly and in good form. He is never wordy
like Jim is.

ALL WHO SHOUT THAT TOP POSTERS ARE IDIOTS, ARE THEMSELVES IDIOTS!

Readers,

Since Ed Dolan is often guilty of monotonous, vacuous verbosity
(repetitive, meaningless wordiness) then by his own definition, Ed
Dolan writes rather poorly. In typical contradiction of his own
premise, mistakes brevity for good writing. One who cannot read and
comprehend the written word cannot possibly differentiate good writing
from bad.

As concerns mistakes, Ed still believes that his opinion actually
matters. Care to start a few polls Ed? Here are a few suggestions.
I'm certain other members of the readership could append to the list,
but I thought I'd get the ball rolling:

Ed Dolan is GREAT
Ed Dolan is a TROLL
Ed Dolan is normal
Ed Dolan is in need of a therapist
Ed Dolan's opinion matters
Ed Dolan is my intellectual superior
Ed Dolan is a nuisance
Ed Dolan should vacate ARBR and other newsgroups permanently

Simple Yes and No answers will suffice.

Jim McNamara

Ken,

Understand that Ed is English challenged and finds deciphering his
mother tongue to be a trying exercise. If he understood what was
written, he would certainly find it to be very direct and genuinely so.
Ed accuses me of a lack of education. I can assure you that I am not
lacking in education. Ed knows nothing of my educational background.
Then again, not being well versed in the subject matter has never
served as a deterrent to the GRATE one. He accuses be of feigning
education through the use of dictionaries and thesauruses. These are
tools, which the ex-librarian should be familiar with refuses to make
use of. If he were to do so, perhaps then he would be able to
comprehend what I write. I'll not apologize for being articulate.

Jim writes very badly. No doubt he always has and always will. Has no one

Am I having episodes of deja vu or did I not already read the above
previously?

The fact is that Jim badly needs a course in freshman compostion. Either
that, or a permanent editor. But where to begin. No, his ignorance is
unconquerable. After all he is 60 and we are not going to be able to teach
an old dog like him any new tricks.

Readers,

In this particular context, su generis means a singular example, its
own class, unique ... a description that aptly describes both Ed
Dolon's posts and its author ... Ed Dolan, to some degree. A sui
generis post is one that is disjointed with no continuity, one
unrelated or linked to the countless others of the numero uno prolific
one. The many self-contradictory posts cannot simply be explained
aware with the twisted logic offered up here in rebuttal. What we have
here is just so much hooey ... a conglomeration of fiddle-faddle. Lets
see now, Ed would have us take him seriously and at his word, but a
week later, when he contradicts himself we should be prepared to again
take him seriously and at his word even though the current Dolan wisdom
stands in direct contradiction to Dolan wisdom of a week prior. To
think that Ed Dolan considers himself to be the definitive orator on
ARBR. Sorry, but I just can't take anyone seriously that is this
whimsical and fickle especially someone who then offers such
insufficient excuse for his contradictory expression of opinion. Ed,
is this the best you could do? I expected better from you.

Not that I care, but reading between the line, it would appear that
along with Tom and Scott, I too would be considered a worthy adversary
provided I played by Ed's rules and agreed to his terms. Allow me to
reiterate, Ed. You are not the ARBR administrator. Nor are you Hoyle.
You do not make the rules around here. Nor do I feel obligated to
dance to your music. I'd prefer to be known as the non-conforming
antagonist who has no intention of becoming the next Tom or Scott.

Speaking of gibberish. I have yet to encounter anyone who repeats the
same monotonous drivel so consistently. Do you have an ARBR repository
of boilerplate pet phrases that you just cut and paste, post after post
.... criminal vandal Troll is just one of many that come to mind.

As concerns your suggestion that I must learn to bottom post. I said
this before, but it has yet to sink in. I will top post just to
aggravate you. If anyone needs to learn something, it's you. You need
to get this through you thick skull. I neither value your opinion nor
will I ever take direction from you. I'm trying to teach and old DOG
new tricks here, but the old DOG is a very slow learner.

Another thing ... getting anywhere with you was never a journey or a
destination that was on my agenda. Neither you nor ARBR ever were or
ever will be significant in my life. Sorry to disappoint.

Every post is sui generis with me. It is my way of giving everyone an even
break. In other words, I do not hold one's previous idiocies against him.
You can start fresh with me with every post. It is all part of my
magnanimity and my noblesse oblige to my inferiors.

Usenet is not for scholars. It is for idiots. Therefore, to resurrect
previous messages is a waste of time and energy since little or no thought
has ever gone into any messages in the first place. It is only small minds
who want to resurrect previous messages. Jon Meinecke is notorious for this
too, which is why I hold him in such contempt.

I assure you if I were writing for the ages, I would be very careful indeed
what I write. But I know I am writing for idiots, and so everything is
perfectly OK. But in any event all messages have a context which is being
universally ignored by those who attempt to resurrect them. Jim does not
have a clue about what constitutes honest scholarship. This is why I will
not bother with anything I have previously said on any newsgroup.

Just stay away from all that wordiness that so entrances you. Trust me on
this, only the ill-educated resort to those kind of shenanigans. They only
impress the similarly ill-educated. Ed Gin, who as you know I regard as the
world's foremost scum bucket, knew how to write better than you because he
had an authentic voice. Never use words that you have to look up. It will
ring false every time.

I am establishing my persona by using certain phrases over and over. It will
mark me as a unique individual which everyone will immediately recognize -
and maybe love! After all, why not - since I am infinitely lovable.

If you simply top post without referencing the previous message that you are
responding to, then I will not spend much time on you. After all, I am not
writing to just you, I am writing to the group and I want them to understand
what is being said. We have already done email, now let us do Usenet. Usenet
is not email. They are as different as night and day.

See, because you have not properly bottom posted, no one knows what you are
talking about. Since that is the case, I will not bother to answer you as I
want to talk to the group, not just you.

PS. It is characters like Jim that make me appreciate Tom Sherman all the
more. No matter how ****** off we ever got at one another, he stayed true to
the form of Usenet. He did not take short cuts to make cheap points. I am
not going to put up with much more top posting from Jim (he did not even
include any of my post that he was responding to). He can either get it
right or I will treat him very badly indeed. In other words, I will go into
a screed with him like he does with me.

Because I do not choose to respond to every idiotic question that is put to
me does not mean that I do not understand what is going on. Au contraire, I
understand perfectly all the envy that is constantly swirling about me by my
inferiors like Perry Butler. He is a public high school teacher and has been
rendered stupid by his pupils. But I don't blame him much for this. Anyone
who associates too much with teenagers is going to be rendered stupid.

I have read the entire unabridged Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire" and also Arnold Toynbee's complete unabridged "A Study of
History". So, there is simply no question at all that I am not only smart
but that I border on brilliant. I will admit these works are so well written
that anyone could read them who is literate, but the problem is who has the
time to read them. These works run to many volumes and take many months and
even years to read.

In the meantime, poor Perry Butler is trying to pound some elementary
knowledge into his high school pupils. I would like to treat Perry to a
glass of vino some day as he is doing something I could never do and yet it
is necessary that someone do it. All I ask is that high school teachers not
compare themselves to college librarians. After all, it is the difference
between night and day.

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie,

Again, you failed to comprehend. You may be able to read but you lack
the intelligence to comprehend what is important in the material you
read. Where did I imply that I am or compare myself to a college
librarian? Again, you lack the intelligence to comprehend.

Comprehend the following: Some people had careers as college
librarians. You did NOT have a career as a college librarian. "After
all, it is the difference between night and day."

There is a massive difference between you and I.
What I did in my lifetime will be carried on for generations.
What you did (LOL) will be...................forgotten.

Ed, you are an insult to college librarians! You had NO career as a
college librarian. You are merely an educated moron.

Enjoy,

Perry B

Perry,

Little did Aristotole know that when he difined wit as educated
insolence that he would be describing Ed Dolan. Put a "T" in front of
it and you have a synonym, for Ed Dolan is indeed a TWIT!!!

Who is talking about careers? I did not have to do something for 40 years to
know that it was not for me. A few years is more than enough to know that I
am far, far better than any miserable job. Too bad you did no discover that
until you are ready to drop into the grave.

What you did or didn't do does not matter in the slightest to anyone. All of
your pupils I am sure consider you a jerk. God, what an idiot!

Perry is the ultimate smug person who is pleased with himself. No matter how
much I tell him how wretched he is, he will not believe me. After all, he
can't have wasted his life on freaking kids, can he?

Ed,

At Loyola University, English 101 (Composition) was considered a flunk
out course. Written papers were graded harshly. Every misspelling,
punctuation and grammatical error was worth a full grade reduction. In
other words, a paper that started out with a grade of B, that had one
spelling error, one grammatical error and one punctuation error was
graded and F. I had no difficulty making the grade. Sorry to
disappoint.

You are well versed in being an old dog being quite my senior. I
suspect that you were old before your time and at age 30 were far
older than I am at 60.

By the way this was a test and you passed. I'll stop repeating myself
if you will. Little danger there. You simply can't help yourself.

Ed,

You read, and comprehend poorly and write only marginally better. In
answer to your question. I have been told that I write badly only
twice, by you and by Tom Sherman. You two have this peculiar love/hate
relationship going that has been played out over the years in your
cosmic cyber-skirmishes. Sorry, but I value neither of your opinions.

I have been told countless times that I write well, even by published
authors. Before I retired, I did much technical writing in the
computing arena. I have also had several articles published in
newspapers and magazines. I have often been prevailed upon others to
write for them or to finesse what they have already written. You
needn't call my writing skills into question any further. Your
insults fall on deaf ears.

There is more to good writing than grammar, spelling and punctuation. A
good English teacher will move on from the basics and get into how to
construct your thoughts and how those thoughts are to be expressed. It is a
very intensive kind of instruction and a good composition teacher is worth
his weight in gold.

I remember a friend of mine at college. He took a course in writing (not
compostion). He had to write a sort of short story (novella). It was the
hardest thing he had ever done in his life. But I think that it is the sort
of course that can really improve one's writng as well as one's thinking. I
was much too cowardly to ever take such a course, but I wish I had.

I have been a reader all of my life, but reading does not do much if
anything for one's writing. If you want to write well, you must do it. There
is no substitute for it.

Words are magical to me. It is impossible to even have thoughts without
words. I know so many people who do not bother to attach words to anything.
They remain forever like dumb animals because of it.

It is marriage and the drudgery of a job that ages everyone before their
time. If you stay single and free from the drudgery of work, it seems you
remain a perpetual juvenile in some respects.

I pretty much tailor my messages to whomever and whatever I am responding
to. A stupid person will tend to drag me down to his level and a bright
person will tend to raise me to his level. Guess which type I am most often
confronted with here on these newsgroups?
