Ed Dolan, Jim McNamara & Tom Sherman

I can't learn anything from Jim. He is too like me - argumentative and discursive to a fault. Discursive implies digressing from subject to subject and this elusive tactic is practiced not by me but by Doaln. I have often complained about this very issue ... Dlona's lack of focus and his diversionary modus operandi. Unlike me, he does not ever learn when to let go, but I understand him as well as I understand myself. Ed wants to let go and even more wants for me to let go when he has been logically entrapped with nowhere to turn since admission of error or defeat are not acceptable options for one with so delicate an ego. Tom is the far more interesting character for me. I can learn from him because he is sufficiently different from me. Jim and I represent the liberal arts. We are essentially generalists. Tom is a scientist and represents those specialties as well as anyone I have ever encountered. I make fun of those types but I respect them nonetheless. Our world could not function without them. I do not like them ever ruling anything other than their specialties, but that is more than enough. Jim seems not to have a clue as to what I am doing on these newsgroups whereas Tom does. I beg to differ. I know why you are here, but I am not convinced that you are objective enough to realize and/or admit to yourself why you are here. It is a mark of his intelligence that he has figured me out. But still I would trust Jim more than I ever would Tom. Tom has a strangeness about him that Jim does not have. As Jim would say, these newsgroups are just chock full of conundrums. And .... you are numero uno. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota PS. By the way, unless you use your real name, I will always treat you with the contempt that you deserve. |
