Comments on: Of Aspen Bondage http://www.aspenpost.net/2008/08/22/of-aspen-bondage/ Think Global : Post Local Thu, 8 Jan 2009 00:50:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Wharf Rat http://www.aspenpost.net/2008/08/22/of-aspen-bondage/#comment-59452 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 23:20:00 +0000 http://www.aspenpost.net/2008/08/22/of-aspen-bondage/#comment-59452 Dang--I thought I waved the white flag a couple posts ago, but the spanking keeps coming. I suppose I deserve it. In the true spirit of eastern philosophy appreciated by Reckless G, I actually read my fortune cookie on Thursday: To do nothing is to be nothing. I'm of course doing nothing here. I thought I was trying to bring a different perspective and possibly some accountability from the dominant voice on this blog, but failed miserably. All the Con Man has gotten out of this is some weird fascination with the information on my birth certificate, and I've managed to annoy Mitch, Reckless (and probably others) along the way. I guess the only logical thing to do at this point is turn my "considerable critical skills" toward myself. That sounds like a crowd-pleaser. Mitch and Reck--your jokes are pretty funny, I must admit! Unfortunately, my desire to meet the Con Man left the harbor some time ago. If we can't communicate by written word, the chances of a verbal breakthrough are slim to none. So while your idea seems sound, it ain't gonna happen unless by chance. Like I said before, I'm done writing negative pieces about GC and AP. If you want to keep this thread alive, live long and prosper! Your truly, Nothing Rat Dang--I thought I waved the white flag a couple posts ago, but the spanking keeps coming. I suppose I deserve it.

For me, can't wait to see the Hall Rat top ten of local blogs that are better than Aspen Post. Best case is he finds something and we learn even more. Worst case is he figures out maybe how good we really are. Also waiting for Hall Rat to turn his considerable critical skills to someone other than me--maybe even himself. Best, Michael! Glad you guys all agree.

I will, however, reserve the right to say something negative about Fractional Post--just kidding. No worries--it's all good!

I think you're right about the internet side show. I'll leave it at that for a change.

Rat, Michael, it's time to get this internet side show done with and look each other in the eyes. It's nowhere near as ugly as either of you thinks. From where I sit, you two have more in common than either would grudge to admit. Park your egos, pick up the phone, and make an effort. That way, at least, both of you could figure out whether the antagonism is worth it. Cheers, Enough already...

You don't think Aspen Post is any good despite your own contributions as they prove to the contrary.] If that's all you get out of what I've written in the past, that certainly explains a lot. Although it is possible that I am an extremely poor communicator, I think it is more likely that this is a real-world extrapolation of the classic Far Side cartoon... What Wharf Rat Says: Con Man, your statements are not consistent with the principles the Con Man espouses as core values of his radio show and blog. What Con Man Hears: Con Man, blah blah blah blah blah Con Man blah blah blah blah. It's awfully difficult to debate issues with someone who isn't listening.
