RIP Larry

[Tom-K]

Larry was the last of the great internet warriors. I'm sad to see he’s gone. He was always faithful to himself and to the things and ideas he believed to be true. A lot of us have softened over the years, but Larry never did.

Larry was kind and loving in real life but he took his job on the internet in all seriousness. There were times I got along with him and times I didn’t, but I always appreciated him.

May God welcome him into His arms.

lb expresses his condolences.

That's another cantankerous SOB that I think is a first-class human. lb taught me a lot about pianos and the business of making them. I hope he's doing well.

Been a long time, Tom. Nice to see you're still kickin'...

Thank you Jolly and it's nice to say hello. We've all kind of grown up a bit together.

I can't help but thinking of Larry up in heaven meeting God and finding out (by some off chance) that God's not a Dyed in the Wool, Blood of the Lamb, Baptist and then Larry sitting God down and quoting Him KJV chapter and verse explaining to God's why He's mistaken and why He should repent of his wrongful ways. That would be Larry.

I can see that too. Tom - I've been wondering where you've been and hope you and loved ones are well. Nice to see you here.

So good to see you here, man.

I just saw Dewey's essay about Larry's passing.

What a rotten thing to do.

Really cheap.

@George-K
I remember his "dialogues" with some lawyer woman (K): "I would not piss down your throat even it it were on fire" (or something like this).

Click on Klaus' icon, let his screen come up and you'll see some dots in the upper right of the screen. Click on those and you get a drop down menu, one of which is a chat button. Click on and type you your PM. Click paper airplane icon to send.

Actually, I saw your copy before you deleted it, thought that you may delete it, and quickly made a copy. So, thanks

If you want to send me a PM, you should PM me like any other forum member. I just sent you a PM.

Howdy, radu.

I thought you were dead. Obviously, you're not. Howya doin'?

[Copper]

@Klaus OK, I saw chat, but it has a 100 character limit, Dewey's post is 5,080 characters

[Klaus]

Don't worry about it, I received it in two ways now. Thanks!

@Jolly
Not dead yet ! One foot in the grave . Nothing to complain about. Good health and, still, bad English.

The thing some people never figured out about Larry is that they were just mirror images of him. They never let it sink in that this is the internet. You are not forced to engage with anyone, your argument participation is strictly voluntary. They were every bit as determined to beat him as he was them.

We used to have an ignore feature. More people should have used it.
