You should occasionally meet with real people, Jolly. It puts things in perspective.

I suspect I meet and interact with more people than you do.

I sat here and counted up just yesterday. I had conversations with 28 different folks.

Yeah, it was a slow day...Do you have that many individual conversations in a day? In a week?

Not sure whether that counts, but I've given a lecture in front of 400 people today, including a lengthy Q&A.

But my point was that you should meet a few TNCR folks face to face every once in a while and not build ones image of a person merely from your interaction on the forum.

Everyone is on their best behavior in person. Not so much here.

The best part about meeting someone is that you can then gossip about them with great authority.

….and even greater impunity.

Whoopee, I've been in front of a couple of thousand a few times and spoken to several hundred on multiple occasions.

But that's not conversations. How many one-on-one conversations do you have on a daily average?

[Jolly]

And my point is, there are multiple people here, who I'm sure could be a pleasant dinner companion.

I certainly could be wrong, but I suspect Ac could wear mighty thin, mighty fast.

Actually, I'm pretty much me, 'ere I go.

You be nice. I be nice. You have manners, I have manners. You fuck with me, and you will have a bad day.

Simple. And it works for me.

That's not true. I fuck with you all the time just for the sheer fun of it

Yeah, but you're a limey. God help you, some things just have to be overlooked...
