Obviously you didn’t read the post I was replying to. Go back and try doing that now. I know you can. I’ll wait.
Thank you for your Literary Review. I'll see if I can do the same for you someday.
"A skoche ...
"skoche"? Huh. Haven't seen it spelled that way, but usually as "skosh" - adapted from "sukoshi" - as in "sukoshi dake". First heard it at Yokusuka, I think.
"... lean on imagination..."
Disagree on that part but not this next part:
"lots of repetition,..."
Admittedly true, but whether we moved past the "repeat until they listen" stage to greater & wonderfuller discourse potentialities, depended on you as well as me.
"...and that will be made a part of your permanent record."
I look forward to it! I am proud of my entire record on FR. My main regret is that my favorite posts, c 2001-2009 ala Operation Infinite Freep, depended in large part on the accompanying photos, and since those were hosted on long-gone web addresses used by others & myself who took them, it leaves the posts only a shadow of themselves, since photos obviously cannot be archived by FR.
"Truth be told, while I enjoy an energetic téte-â-téte,"
I do too. My MO is to spend the vast majority of my time in respectful discourse w/ fellow Freepers and save all the flames and insults for the Libs.
But if a Freeper who I mildly disagree with, instantly goes all AdHominea over me, I say "Bring it on" and I try to match tit for tat, including de-escalating as soon as they do.
"... if you're finally backing Trump, you're "Okay!" in my book."
Thank you. You too. As always, when I don't back the eventual nominee during the primary season, I switch from 0% to 100% support the moment they secure the nomination. So that was like around May 1 that Trump became "100% MY candidate".
Also, I'm fairly certain I never "bashed Trump" - even pre-May, but I did spend many an hour bashing a select few FR Trump supporters who were bashing my state. Of course, the distinction between bashing them versus bashing Trump was completely lost on them. Sigh.
"Forgive me if I pursue other challenging discussions heretofore."
Look forward to that too, as I also have other more productive pursuits on FR.
"I bid you and yours a very Merry Christmas."
Ditto. One of the things I enjoy about FR is it's about the last place outside of some churches where you're guaranteed to not hear any of that "Happy Holidays" crap! BTW, you planning on going to the FReeper Ball? Three of us here plan to make the cross-country pilgrimage.
Uniform. Badge. Access to a revolver but never worn. Name tag. Started at GS-3 pay-grade. Mid-70s up until I left college in '78. All of my male co-workers were older than me, and most were Vietnam vets.
See if you can figure it out.
