FARMS H-bombs the Three Nephites

[_Mister Scratch]

Okay. I accept the Scartchmeister's invitation in the spirit of science.

I'll bring my camera, too. I'll post the photographs here after our lunch.

Wait a second... Why would you want to do that? The plot thickens!

When and where, Scartch? Are you paying?

Sure, I'll pay. (Though given FARMS's deep pockets, I don't really see why I should.) You can choose the venue yourself. Chuck-O-rama, perhaps?

And, of course, you'll have to identify yourself. I don't do lunch with people who refuse to give their names. Can my wife come?

Yes, your wife can come. (Does she want to? Have you really been so upset by my criticisms of you and FARMS that you have "unburdened" yourself on your wife? If so... wow.) And, no. I see no reason why I should share my name with you, of all people. You cannot even get my screenname right, after all. Why should I tell you my in real life name? Do you want to know so that you can do to me what you have done to Mike Quinn, Grant Palmer, Robert Ritner, Brent Metcalfe, Dan Vogel, Simon Southerton, Steve Benson, and countless others?

You'll no doubt recall that Gary Novak took up at least a paragraph or two in one of his FROB articles in order to whine endlessly about how some article of his was "rejected" by Lavina Fielding Anderson.

It's really very difficult -- even, for the sake of discussion, granting the accuracy of the Scartchmeister's dubious description -- to comprehend how one would be able to "whine endlessly" (or, for that matter, do anything else "endlessly") within the boundaries of "a paragraph or two."

This might make sense if one were to assume that meaning could somehow be contained within a mere paragraph. But, given that Novak hasn't (as far as I know) demonstrated that he is completely "recovered" from being "stood up" by Anderson, I think it is fair that his whining is indeed "endless."

For what it's worth, I don't believe Scratch is even remotely capable of violence to anyone. He may be accused of many things, and I've had extended debates with him over a long period of time, and not once has he, even jokingly, insinuated violence.

Thank you, Ray. I appreciate that. You know, I am beginning to have some reluctant feelings about this "lunch." DCP has, of course, threatened to kill me using his "assault rifle." Now he is saying that he is going to bring his wife, and a camera, and possibly a bunch of other people, which suggests that he wants to apply gang violence against me. He has also said that he may show up armed.

I really don't like the sound of this so much. I would really only point out that I've have offered up a "truce," or cyber-handshake to DCP more than once. He has spat on my gestures every single time.

What'd that take, like 5 minutes?

Hysterical.

That's surprising. I wouldn't expect that from DCP.

Again, I offer lunch, on me, just you and I, no cameras, no names needed.

And again, I would like to see even one example of you offering a "truce" to DCP.

Are you being facetious?

[_GoodK]

Are you being facetious?

Of course.

My right hand is still moist with DCP spittle.

[_LifeOnaPlate]

Of course.

My right hand is still moist with DCP spittle.

Come on, let's not start out with this again. GoodK, do you see any extended truce to DCP by scratch, ever?

[_Mister Scratch]
