If you HAD HAD the good fortune of working with someone like me, you'd have been MORE successful, because I would have taught you how to hold yourself accountable for your success and your failures.


Ok.

Who has the guts to give their take on this?

The only thing that held me back over the years was my own fucking body.

If you don't take care of yourself, Larry, quite often that's what happens.

Good stuff.

I’m gonna hold on to this.

My pleasure.

It is, of course, far harder to notice it when either screwing one's eyes shut or screaming about other's conduct to drown out reality.

UNO would have taught me how to eat shit and like it.

Once I had chicks in the nest I had to eat a lot of shit.

 Before that there was no amount of crap I would take  because my talents and skills took me everywhere I wanted to go.


Another misinterpretation, Grasshopper. You are responsible for how you succeed, not others. Look at how you framed this in your head, as though I would have been your superior instead of your collaborator.

I would have taught you how to get ahead without being a head case. Work smarter, not harder.

There are many paths through the forest, but you seem to want to chop trees along the way.

Ahh...yes, "free gas". Apparently it makes you think that your farts don't smell, right, josh?

Tell that to banks who says he he deals in facts.

Larry let it go.

Tell you what Larry when you think you caught me in a lie or posting something misleading, call me out on it.

Just like I did too you.

That seems fair right?

Taking accountability for what we do or what we post.

You want to post misleading stuff you certainly can, but you may get called on it.

Larry now its time to let it go.

And you will get over the pain.

SSDD


So far your only proof is

“BECAUSE I SAID SO”


Provide a fucking fact that isn’t just your opinion and I’ll let it go.

The way I let it go every other time your bullshit facts was ‘because I said so.’


As for banks, it seems you share a lot in common with him.


But he does appear to be more honest


Thanks for proving my point, Lifeboat Larry.

Now it might have been a sloppy error on your part.error

But you were and are way WAY too defensive about this.
...
So let it go, as I let it go over a year ago.

You have repeatedly insisted that you cannot read intent, Banks.

It's true - and yet, even as you admit what you have been told is possible (error), you immediately fall back onto mindreading.

"too defensive" --> you keep repeating the same accusation, without proof of intent. Porky keeps making the same attacks. What, then, constitutes "too defensive?" "Too aggressive" might be applied to the two of you, but I am certain you would take umbrage at it.

And no, you have not "let it go" any more than Ham has.

Letting it go would entail either granting simply, "yeah, it could have been an error," without trying to reiterate that somehow Larry has screwed up, or simply not responding any more to Larry's or Porky's comments on the topic.

(I agree, btw, that Larry could simply stop replying to your insistence that you can read his intent while granting that you cannot, and that would be letting it go. I think expecting him to stop replying to the racist pig is a bit much, if not as much as expecting said pig to stop - I am pretty sure that the Hamster cannot stop, without help.)

Here you go, Larry.

This is how it was for a lot of us white dudes taking on the big wide world:

 


And this is how you think it was for us:

I hope this helps you adjust your racial lenses.

You’re pathetic.

I had my Red Cross Jr. Life certificate in 4th grade.

If I couldn’t swim with the sharks would my family name be embossed in gold flake on the walls of the refectory at St. Albans?

Give it up UNO and just accept I’m a bad motherfucker.


Once again, going back to childhood. We had both paper routes but I had staff.

The only thing that held me back over the years was my own fucking body.

Or others' attitudes toward your body.

It's not a matter of guts, Larry. It's a matter of wasted recycled electrons.

That level of self-aggrandizement and puffery is pretty hard to take seriously - but that is all it is.

Not quite all. It is also supreme ignorance being mischaracterized as self-assurance.

If anyone knows about supreme ignorance disguised as self-assurance, it'd be you, the textbook example of it, Professor.

I guess I should take responsibility for congenital birth defects.

That is stupid. Even for you.
