    Why doesn't Jones come around here anymore?

    Like I said. (And, yes, I'm quoting myself.)

    Anyway, if all Jones does is pass along what he posted on the Writer's Workshop, it'll be a hell of a class.

    Jones will absolutely raise hell in Missoula. They have some great bars there.

    I'm not really sure what that means. Even though he was out in the open on this board, he never got himself in trouble, did he?

    Nope. Although I don't know him personally, I'll hazard a guess that he just got tired of all the B.S.

    Pretty good laps to crawl up on, even if it was true. They are two good guys. And incredibly talented.

    Of course, they revealed their identities to the board. So now an anonymous idiot gets his jollies taking pokes (not even good ones) at them.

    For all your dumbassery, though, Jones is a two-time National Magazine Award winner. They have both achieved a level of success in the field this board is dedicated to that some people on here admire.

    No one knows what your accomplishments -- journalism or otherwise -- are, because you're just the dipshit taking flailing rips at people on an anonymous message board without having to reveal himself.

    Even if you are as talented at anything as Jones is at magazine feature writing. ... it doesn't change the fact that you're gutless.

    Which is better than having to take your suits to be drycleaned by The Man because you puked all over them after your third whiskey and coke at breakfast.

    Let's keep it up, Boom. I'd like to see us both get suspended. I'm willing to pull a Obi Wan Kenobi and sacrifice myself to save this place from you.

    You can't be ragu. He never posts in less than 27 meaningless paragraphs.

    It's not true, Ragu. I know Boom's accomplishments. He once polished off 13 Screwdrivers in the closet at work before rear-ending his Hummer into a concrete pillar in the parking garage on his way to lunch. Don't worry about him, though. He blamed in on the valet.

    I made a post . You followed with a personal attack. If anyone is in line for suspension it is you.
