Since my name was dropped in Art's first post in this thread, I feel entitled to
chime in. I have waited a while to do so, reading the other posts with great interest. A lot of what I was going to say has already been expressed quite well by others. Vlado and Dudley chimed in with the rest of the hand grenade squad ( very entertaining! ) and others such as Gordon, Peter and the Lizard contributed in less incendiary ways, with at least some attempt at an evenhanded appraisal. Those familiar with my posting history these many years know that sometimes I stray just a bit from a flat recitation of facts. For the purposes of this post, however, I am restricting myself to a very low bull**** factor. ( Very difficult for me!) First, I want to state a few things in reference to a variety of things which have come up. I host and code Art's web site, but ALL the content is his. I correct typos from the emails he sends me, but that's it. There is no money involved in any of this for either of us. Also, Art is not really a particularly tech savvy guy. All my contact with Art has been email, no phone calls, no face time, no faxes, and just one snail mailed clipping. However, over several years, I have encountered absolutely NO indication that he is not who he says he is. In addition to the evidence available on the web site, I have encountered numerous other pieces of evidence verifying his identity. ---------- The "Autocollimator" story: I spent about half an hour this afternoon on Google, and emailed another "RAM regular" to discuss the issue. I did NOT email Art himself. Autocollimator is a real word, BTW. In my opinion, there is a very good chance that Art either IS "Autocollimator" or had a very direct influence in those posts. I will not detail my reasoning here, but it involves NO "inside" information. I really don't think it would be such a big deal if Art wanted to have a little extra fun on the group, and created another persona to express some different views. Let's face it, "Autocollimator" is hardly the worst offender we've seen lately. I don't plan to spend any time worrying about it. ------------- I don't really have anything to add to the "Good Art/Bad Art" controversy, others have covered it quite well. Except for this post, I don't think I have ever commented publicly on it, and I don't think I have any great insights. The tradeoffs are obvious to any reasonable long term reader of RAM. ------------- And now, of necessity, I must address the issue of Mr. Marron. Over the years, I have watched many new posters earn universal derision and enmity on the group. However, I can't recall anybody else who reached his current depths of disapproval without benefit of outlandishly nonfactual statements. Mr. Marron is now in the losers' league of Tarver, Mladen,.and the XXX999 kooks, sinking below the Arndt level, without ever making a really silly claim ( by the loose standards of RAM ). Mr. Marron has even posted valuable material at times. However, by the sheer force of obnoxious personality, he has managed to irritate people even while making what should have been a legitimate contribution. This happens to posters all the time, of course ( including Art ). But Mr. Marron has raised this from an occasional communication problem to a consistent barrage of offensive invective, untempered by any real original contributions ( unless you want to count lyrical praise of his "almost an airplane"). I suppose I am a bit naive, a bit of a romantic with regard to communities like RAM. I have always felt that the raging battles we see would never happen if we were sitting around a table with the benefit of tone of voice and facial expressions to leaven the harsh typing of a newsgroup post. I certainly don't think all opinions would coincide in such a venue. ( What would be the fun in that? ) But all in all, I used to say I'd be glad to have a beer with any of the non loon RAM regulars, regardless of how much I may disagree with them on issues. Now, however, I have found an exception to that rule. Bob McKellar .. |

Damn I'm good! actually, you suffer from delusions of adequacy. as i've heard it, small boys laugh at you when you pee in public mens rooms, although this doesn't happen as much since you've taken to always sitting down..... it's also lessened your cleaning bills, not having to get the urine stains out of your panties, according to the grafitti in the club. redc1c4, (BTW, just 'cause you drank with them doesn't mean they liked you %-) I didn't have much of a choice, idiot.

You simply drank, idiot. you drank idiots? they must have worked 'cause look at you now. %-) you should leave both the drinking & the flames to pro's. it's obvious you lack the basic talent and necessary skills for either task. redc1c4, and undoubtedly the only plane you ever flew was a paper one in grade school, one of the years you were held back a grade. -- A Troop - 1st Squadron 404th Lemming Armored Cavalry "Velox et Capillatus!" |
