Banks, if you started with a simple request to see the data and Larry told you to fuck off and do your own research you’d be on note with the Jenna comeback. Larry was already being hard ass about it to Utz, which might have seemed like an opening. I don’t think it was because Utz was doing his over sugared nine year old thing from the jump, embodying swine and earning no pearls. From your side of the conversation Jenna wasn’t a comeback, it was an opening and as such got us where we are.
Once Larry got asked if he’d show us his project in a not terribly insulting way, he did it pretty directly.
Not suffering fools is one thing. I give you props for not suffering my excesses of foolishness among all the others. On the other hand, going fool hunting, as you sometimes do, opens you up to the risk of catching yourself, as you have in this instance.
We can’t all “Be best”, but we can try to be better at least every once in a while.
If you were charged with writing Hitler's biography, fac, you'd center it around what a great artist old Adolph was and how he was misunderstood by his mother, the army, and the Allies. It'd be titled "Springtime for Hitler".
Fac's John Wilkes Booth? Where's the proof he wasn't part of the show? Someone loaded that gun, but it wasn't him. 14 days on the run? No, he'd been shot, too, by the real assailant and he was framed by a group of Republicans who wanted to put Johnson back in and save the South from the Negroes.
Bottom line, your complete revision of reality doesn't fly. Little Larry the Sensitive One was asked to back up his work with the data he allegedly collected on his own. He had to be shamed into doing so. He's still smarting from being asked to live up to the standards he demands of others.
I'm not sure why Little Larry thought he could use the academic "rigor" of whatever matchbook university from which he got his "degree", or how it would fly easily by an educated group of readers. I guess he did know he could get that tripe past someone like yourself.
My questioning Little Larry's "research" was a valid pursuit, from the beginning query.
And Banks got it right, too.
You? Not at all.
But keep up the creative writing. As devoid of reality that it is, it's good for a laugh, at least.
