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

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.

I just saw Dewey's essay about Larry's passing.
What a rotten thing to do.
Really cheap.

Could somebody PM me a copy of Dewey's text? I don't have FB.

Back in the old days of Usenet, on RMMPM, he was SUCH a son of a bitch! He certainly never held back his opinions, to be sure. Frankly, I was, at first, a bit intimidated.
"Who needs this abuse?" I thought.
Well...there you go.

@Klaus How do i pm you, I don't see it
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.

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.

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

I get tickled at both Klaus and radu poor-mouthing their English skills. It's the only language I know (except a few curse words) and both of them are much better at it than I.
