I've been after "It" to tell us if "It" is in the employ of Swank or not, for a few weeks now (a simple yes or no would suffice).
"It" either tells me to skip his threads (once while tucking in a bit of paternalistic implied insult), or ignores me.
I was thinking that English isn't "It's" first language.
Or maybe It is Swank Jr., but is still stinging from not being able to handle the forums on FR, personally, so pretends to write English poorly as a disguise?
Whatever It is, It owes us some explanation. Once I get some answers, I'll relax. But until then, I do think It should be hounded to the full.
There's blog-pimping & there's blog pimping, but this one takes the cake!
I once wrote Helen Thomas an email, at the beginning of GW’s presidency, lamenting her lack of respect when speaking to the president.
She responded with this wit:
“I can about freedomes, and you should too!”
What the heck does that mean?
Wasn't "Freedomes" a Pauly Shore movie a decade ago or so?
.....and Pauly says "Blog pimping through semi-literate surrogates speaking in the third person Sucks, Dude!"
("They're like weasels, dude!)
It got itself 6 so far on the 30th.
But, of course, the day is yet young.......
those who can’t compose, carp.
it takes no brains to continue your litany of carping.
don’t you realize that you are exposing your ignorance by carping while not producing one knowledgeable article on this site or any other reading venue in the world?
end of discussion with you.
happy new year.

She obviously preserves her own freedomes.
[they’re some kind of exotic root vegetables, I believe]
The thought of her working with Mason jars and boiling water amazes me.
I thought about posting a picture of freedomes - I’ve seen some really beautiful ones, but here on FR they make you stick with the photos where they’re mostly covered.
Well, that was quick.
Straight into the gutter.
The favorite destination of all manly men!
Yeah but you didn’t even bump the curb on the way down this time.
:-P
Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.
The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”

The question at hand wasn't about me. It was about you, as to your motives.
I wouldn't be "carping" as you put it, if you would simply be honest with us here on FR.
What the heck would that have to do with any sort of justifiable reason for failing to give Freepers here some insight into why you are spamming our boards with J. Grant Swank Jr.?
As far as Swank being so "knowledgeable", it should be pointed out that Swank rarely if ever opines upon things that have not been well covered previously by his betters or others.
If "knowledge" of events or conditions is a coin-of- the-realm to be tendered in this discussion between you and I, then I'm as rich (or richer!) than Swank.
While we are at that, it should be added that I've yet to read much of anything from him that was new (other than his own opinions, which themselves are far from original also), or even particularly insightful in any way that hasn't been done better by others.
Like--- are you Swank? From some of the answers you give, I almost think so at times. But I've zero fear of him, (or you, if you are not him).
You really mean that? ...hmmm, difficult to accept that in context with the responses you have given me thus far.
All I did was ask a few questions. I've yet to get anything other than evasiveness & insult in return.
What would it cost you, to answer? You have enough time to bark at me about how I'm unworthy of giving answer to --- you've done so twice, but what was up with that?
You're hiding crucial info from us? Just using us here at FR, is that it?
If you are going to be a blog-pimp, the least you could do is try to be a bit more honest & polite about it! The choice is yours. You can be honest with us, or not.
