This thread is so full of DRAMA that it should be considered as a group entry for the Prose Competition.

'Hope you compete' would have been quite enough to place your earnest thread back on track. You chose otherwise.


.....................................................


"Hey, I'm not the first to comment on your trolling.

Anyway, hope you'll compete."


________________________________________________________


Tim, if your interest is genuine and you would seriously like me to compete I will do so (with a little administrative help from you). Topic of my submission will be contemporary (rather than anything distant past/gothic or futuristic). Primary focus of the narrative will be people (different yet believable characters drawn from actual events in 2010) rather than upon theoretical musings, plot per se, dénouement, big hammer conclusion or 'lived happily ever after' sugary resolution. Story itself will close its own door gently, letting sonorities fade. Animated and colorful dialogue will play the major role.

Title will be "CD/AAF" and the subtitle, "Cyberspace Dialogue Among Almost Friends". Since it's already written in final draft, we can submit it today 12 March 2010. First paragraph begins with the initial post to this very thread, my question, your reply, Phlabibit's reply and concludes with the Monty Moose comment, "GB asked a straight forward question that was on topic for this thread. The flame was not necessary." Paragraphs two and following will introduce numerous other characters who successfully engaged yours truly in conversation with each of my spontaneous replies, sustaining the slice of life dialogue still in progress as we speak. If simultaneity isn't contemporary, lively and engrossing... I really don't know what is.

Story accordions with numerous opinions, side bars, entertaining potshots and a few serious efforts to stay on track... finally resolving with an internet dinosaur's agreement to enter the 2010 RHP Prose Competition. Note: Final paragraph will be this post in its entirety. If you will kindly do the copy/paste heavy lifting, I'll be more than happy to give you permission (which I'm doing right now mid sentence) to submit what may well turn out to be the winning entry, over my nickname or self proclaimed Boston Lad. Only one condition applies: We do this thing bare knuckles, cutting along a nerve, acid verbatim. Nothing altered. Nothing removed. I trust your integrity to honor this one request, Tim. There's no need for you to run a galley proof by me before going to press. Thanks. ~gb

I don't think GB gets what you and the other four obviously brilliant communicators are laboring to convey. Let me see if I can help...

GB:
Your silence is requested in the following situations:
when facts are misrepresented
when people are posting opinions in opposition to yours
when your opinion is challenged
when you are being insulted


In short, these purveyors of refined and/or sublime thought and expression are requesting first, middle and last word on all topics. Is that really asking so much?


Hope this helps, guys.

I'll pass on Chili Peppers since their song is probably about California. If it's not, it still sounds like their other song about California.
