Default Where is Tom Sherman? Second Query

My God! My universe is starting to fall apart! Where the f*** is Tom
Sherman? He has left ARBR and I have not been able to find him on any of the
other newsgroups. I did a Google search and came up with nothing.

Maybe some of you more sophisticated in the ways of the computer than I
could find out for me if Tom Sherman is anywhere to be found. He was my
principal adversary for over 3 years. I would log on to ARBR mainly in order
to read him - and slam him. Now I am feeling quite bad since I may have
caused him to leave. Surely he has got to know that I regarded him as the
best of all my many enemies.

My mind needs someone like him to contend with. There are no others who
****ed me off the way he did. I am thirsting for blood and only Tom Sherman
can slake my blood lust. Damn it all to hell, I need someone to beat up on
who is worthy of me!

So I plead with all you denizens of these cycling newsgroup to find Tom
Sherman for me. He is surely out there in cyber space somewhere spouting his
usual noxious left wing liberal screwball nonsense.

You were never much of a poster to ARBR as far as I can tell, other than
your sporadic personal vendettas. Tom Sherman was the mainstay of this
entire newsgroup. He was ever helpful to newbies and knew more about
recumbents than any other person I ever encountered on any newsgroup.

I knew it was just a matter of time before he would leave as there were just
so many idiots and scoundrels infecting ARBR. The fact is that he was too
good for us. He was wrongheaded about almost everything outside of
recumbents, but that is why I was here - to counteract act him. But
frankly, I miss him. He had not only intelligence, but wit too. He was a
kindred sprit and was very, very good for ARBR. But most important of all,
he was a worthy adversary for me. We were both intellectuals who knew what
words were worth. I miss him more than you would think possible.

Tom Sherman and I had the best arguments ever about the Iraq War. I think
that particular thread may be the longest in Usenet history. It started off
rather quietly but it just built and built until it took of over the entire
universe. I don't know about you, but I live for moments like that.

Clearly, and you must be the leader of the scoundrels.


My only sin was that I tried to save the newsgroup from the depredations of
the criminal vandal troll. You have to fight fire with fire and so things
did get kind of rough I must admit. But the one thing that amazed me more
than anything else was the cowardice of almost all the members of ARBR. That
is why to this day I have a fair amount of contempt for the group, and
indeed for all newsgroups.

The fact is that he was too good for us. He was wrongheaded about almost
everything outside of recumbents, but that is why I was here - to

Wow, if you live for moments like that you must live one miserably boring
life.


If you would like to get an education on the Iraq War, go read that thread.
You will be amazed and dumfounded!

I was responding to your very first post something which I am
reasonably certain no one else was at all challenged to comprehend, so
stop frothing at the mouth.

You were never much of a poster to ARBR as far as I can tell, other than
your sporadic personal vendettas.


And just how many on-topic posts can you claim to have ever made??? As
concerns personal vendettas, I have taken a total of 3 individuals to
task, your beloved Tom Sherman being one. You were an active
participant in that particular personal vendetta. Ed Gin was another
and again you were an active participant in some (though not all) of
that personal venedetta. That's 2 for 2 which cancel one another out
since you were part and parcel of the action. As for the third ...
well, you can't very well be expected to participate in that personal
vendetta because wince you are the target. There you have it. I have
focused my attention on three individuals and two (you and Gin) have
been the focal point of many members on ARBR, so I find myself in good
company. You, on the other hand, have taken on just about everyone on
this newsgroup, Vanderman, for whom you have an obvious affection,
being an exception. So let's see then. The score is me THREE and you
a SIZEABLE INDEFINIT NUMBER that continues to grow. Do the math. The
numbers are decidedly not in your favor, so you can cease your
whining..

Tom Sherman was the mainstay of this
entire newsgroup. He was ever helpful to newbies and knew more about
recumbents than any other person I ever encountered on any newsgroup.


This is pitiful. You sound as though you've lost a loved one. Stay
tuned for the same old song to be sung if and when Vandeman pulls up
stakes. Are same sex marriages legal in Minnesota?

I knew it was just a matter of time before he would leave as there were just
so many idiots and scoundrels infecting ARBR. The fact is that he was too
good for us. He was wrongheaded about almost everything outside of
recumbents, but that is why I was here - to counteract act him.


This is an unmoderated newsgroup. Who asked you to assume the role of
moderator? If weren't deaf, dumb and blind, you would heed the
requests of those who have asked you to cease and desist or pack it up
and leave. You often insist that EVERYONE who posts on newsgroups, and
particularly ARBR, are idiots, morons, and imbeciles. Which particular
cretin category do you fall under??? Pick one!!! Since you are the
most prolific poster on ARBR, it would logically follow that whatever
category you chose, you would be the quintessential representative.

But
frankly, I miss him. He had not only intelligence, but wit too. He was a
kindred sprit


I think you just insulted the man.

and was very, very good for ARBR. But most important of all,
he was a worthy adversary for me. We were both intellectuals who knew what
words were worth. I miss him more than you would think possible.


My heart bleeds for you and your loss. Get a life.

Tom Sherman and I had the best arguments ever about the Iraq War.


What do you not understand about this being a recumbent newsgroup?

I think
that particular thread may be the longest in Usenet history. It started off
rather quietly but it just built and built until it took of over the entire
universe. I don't know about you, but I live for moments like that.


What a telling remark. You live for moments like that because without
ARBR and adversary there is no significant meaning in your life.
Yours is a pathetic, shallow existence. You're one very sick puppy ...

Default Ed Dolan's role

Dolan (Van what's his face, et al.) performs an important role - motivating
us to spend less time at the keyboard and more time behind the handlebars.

Thanks Ed,
