Where's Lorax?

[ccbatson]

What happened to him/her? Shortly after challenging me to read Tom Hartmann's book [[which I did) in exchange for him reading my recommended book, he disappeared.

You may not know this, but in the summer, a lot of people go on vacation.

[ccbatson]

Away from an internet access? For several weeks? In this economy? Right after he threw down the gauntlet and I picked it up?

Not likely.

Just an observation,

Isn't there a connections section of this board for this kind of thing?

[gazhekwe]

What is the Lorax and why was it there, and why was it lifted and taken somewhere?

[ccbatson]

Well done Gaz, clever.

[oladub]

Maybe the Rethugnicans got him/her.

[Bobl]

Perhaps an accident or illness. More likely a vacation or the demands of a job or family issue. Some people have lives, interests, and obligations. Very few have the time or desire to post upwards of 2500 redundant posts. I suspect Lorax will be back soon, with an amusing reply.
In any case, reading a book is seldom a bad thing.....

Peace

More like he was reported by the snitch.

Yes, it's all about you. There couldn't possibly be another explanation.

[ccbatson]

I have been playing with this thread...I am sure there is a rational explanation for his absence immediately following our challenge.

If it were a "snitch" wouldn't his profile reflect a change of status?

[Sstashmoo]

I'm quite confident Lorax is a she. Not that it really matters..

Or is this just another one of your "generalizations"? LOL

[Detroitej72]

Oh Lorax, Lorax, wherefor art thou Lorax?

[ccbatson]

Actually, I am not sure of the gender.

[Pam]

I don't think so. I thought I saw a man's name on his profile.

[ccbatson]

He or she appears to be MIA for a while now....darn it, I went through that book by Hartmann for nothing.

Did you buy it or steal it by downloading it?

[firstandten]

Oh Lorax, Lorax, wherefor art thou Lorax?

He says he lives in Miami, maybe his A/C went out in his house and he's just too hot to post.

[ccbatson]

Good point Detroitej72...I reluctantly bought it for download, and now I can't collect on the wager....irksome.

Props to you for not being hypocritical, like many folks are.

[ccbatson]

My thanks for the compliment.

[Big Dog]

Somebody snitched on him and probably many times, too.

[ccbatson]

Nonsense, his profile does not indicate that he is banned.

[Big Dog]

Batson, your nose keeps growing longer by the days.

Since s/he posted the opinion that we were in depression, I can only presume that s/he doesn't have enough money to go on vacation.
