Greetings, People of Earth! Thomas, it's good to see you here.
As others have noted, the Paracast Meltdown is like a train wreck. Hard to keep from watching no matter how nasty or surreal it gets. I left that dump some time last year when I could no longer ignore the hypocrisy. That loony "moderator" Mike and his cowardly behavior was the last straw. Chris O'Brien, the main reason I stayed around there after DB got disgusted and left, was acting weird and not being any fun at all. I told Gene I had had enough of the panhandling and wanted to close my account. He wouldn't do that! What kind of brain dead... well, anyway I never missed it one bit. I did manage to get my account closed, by being banned for "threatening" Gene. My threat was to go elsewhere and tell the truth about Mike's abysmal "moderating". What a weenie.
Just a while ago, I discovered I am still getting the begging emails, even after having been banned. My email site has been automatically putting them in the trash, where they have been going for years. That putz is still spamming me!
Anyway, this looks like a nice place. I'm looking forward to some lively discussion on more interesting topics. I can say that Thomas R. Morrison is a most valuable contributor and a thoughtful person. I'm sure I know a few more of y'all. Did I see Dr. Wu here somewhere? Hey, Doc. How ya doin'?
