The Anti-Opus
Original Content | 11/4/2026 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/04/2026 11:04:05 AM PST by Lazamataz

Hi folks. I'm Anti-Opusing, that is to say, I departed FR for a while, and this marks my return. I'm not a big believer in Opusing. I consider it a demonstration of outsized ego. Opuses are routinely mocked, and they should be.

So instead of Opusing, I just quietly stopped posting (while contacting everyone on my ping lists so I could stay in touch).

Frankly, Anti-Opusing might show outsized ego, too. I mean, who the heck am I? The forum did just fine without me. And another frank admission: I actually enjoyed my time away from the forum. I've been a consistent poster since 1999. This is the first time in DECADES that I stayed off FR. It was refreshing, really.

I won't go too deep into why I bailed for a while, except to say there is one Admin Mod who was quite insulting. I don't need to put up with that.

This Anti-Opus has a dual purpose: One, to inform my friends I'm back, and also to relay a meme I created as regards yesterday's severe and surprising defeat. Yeah, I expected we'd get destroyed in an explosion, but I expected TNT, not a nuclear weapon.

Okay. On to the meme. Enjoy and pass it around.

You say you're back, but is it really you or just your AI Avatar?

Test: Would you hit it?

Kinda disappointed it took 20 posts for a Freeper to make this comment.

The plural of opus is opera.

To be fair to other FReepers, the new Trek show Discovery gave us many reason to not give Strange New Worlds a try.

I chuckled over a recent meme posted by FR pookie18 on his Nov 2nd Today's Toons a couple of days ago after Patrick Stewart died.

Good to have you back. FYI, I might have voted for you, as a proxy, in “Guilty vs Not Guilty” discussions

There's no doubt that FR has changed since JimRob's unfortunate passing, Chris isn't as involved as Jim was, heck, he was another full-time job and is a newlywed so we have several out of control mods with no one to reign them in so they just do whatever they feel like doing, Jim's guidance & rules are ignored.

Thanks for checking in.

I would add:

...More violence against whites and conservatives.

...Lawfare in the form of criminal charges, civil suits, and attacks against professional licenses of all those directly or indirectly working for, or supporting ,Trump.

Your meme kind of sucks.

Besides, I found out what you were doing while you were away.
You were busy helping Talarico be a false prophet and conduct
Satanic rituals with little kids with pizza and gates and secret tunnels.
Just like you always do.

Also you spent 14 days with Gino Hinajosa in a seminar on how
to put mayonnaise on tacos and eat them with a fork.

Further, I sold all your stuff and bought a 26 foot boat
but the trailer isn’t very good, please get more stuff.
Don’t be a slacker.

Lawfare will be difficult with Trump semi-control of the DOJ.

He also needs to give a sweeping pardon to everyone who was remotely connected to his administration the last day in office and basically every supporter that was ever in the news.

You’ve got to add me to your ping list. How have I not been on it?

Good to see you!

Philadelphia already is kicking off the violence on the anniversary of Kristallnacht by planning violence against all Jewish owned businesses in the town.

It’s an old school pogrom!

More civil discourse is not going to happen. If anything it will get worse from their side. The Democrats and their Party are Evil Incarnate. The very spawn of Satan himself and his angles. Their actions prove their identity. Evil never rests and never takes a holiday. But the voters have spoken. Let them enjoy the fruits of their labor. I probably won’t.

I am so sad to read this. I grew up in the Kensington and Lawndale neighborhoods.

I wondered what that was!

Welcome back! F.R., a hard habit to break! (Although good to detox once in a while!)
