Why don't you address your detractors directly and honestly instead of making passive aggressive little jabs wrapped up a copy/pasted unoriginal platitudes?

Well said.

Grampy Bobby has to be the most unoriginal poster in these forums.

today i asked my grade one language teacher, Emily Wordsmith,
what the word "tedium" meant. she said: "the state of being tedious".
after thanking her, i asked one more question before morning recess:
Miss Wordsmith, what does "the state of being tedious' mean"?

she said: 'child ...[text shortened]... s."

i'll tell her what i found during our next language class Monday. the end.

Good grief.

Since Grampy Bobby created this thread, and nothing's happening in it, why don't we just all leave him to it and go somewhere that we can get something happening?

People are voting you down, not your post, do you not get that? This seems to be your new way of turning your usual plethora of thumbs down into some sort of pseudo-positive interesting in yourself.

"Pinocchio Feature" Poll

"The New York Times awards "Pinocchios" to people in the public media news who in its editorial judgment have misrepresented facts with fabrications and/or have told outright lies. Purpose of this thread is to take a poll to determine the desirability of an RHP Site Ideas thread which would recommend that the present Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down Features be expanded to include a Pinocchio Feature as well. Votes will be counted as follows: One for each Yea Post and for each Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down [on the premise that those who are accustomed to telling the truth would be unlikely to have reason to give this thread a Thumbs Down and that those who do so may have told lies here before today]. Nay Posts will count as minus one. Twenty One (the age of accountability in some countries) Net Plus Votes will be needed. Our Polling Station will close at midnight December 31, 2015. Thanks for your cooperation.

Footnote: Pinocchio is the "fictional character and the protagonist of the children's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio (1883) by Italian writer Carlo Collodi. Carved by a woodcarver named Geppetto in a small Italian village near Florence, he was created as a wooden puppet but dreamed of becoming a real boy. He has also been used as a character who is prone to telling lies and fabricating stories for various reasons.The story has appeared in many adaptations in other media. Pinocchio has been called an icon of modern culture and one of the most re-imagined characters in the pantheon of children's literature." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio"

You're an accomplished individual who takes vacations with his dear wife to far away exotic

What potential am I not fulfilling Grampy Booby?

Is me disagreeing with you and not being impressed by you, indicative to you of me not "fulfilling my potential"?
