I believe what you are referring to is you asking me to share this story.
And so I start to share it and you come over and tell me how I’m avoiding it? Nonsensical

I've been here long enough to recognise them when they show up. This one was pretty obvious from the start because he isn't very good at it.

Perhaps you should write down your substantive thoughts about a topic before starting a thread about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯A Global Faith wrote: ↑August 25th, 2021, 2:35 pm I am starting this thread and will update it shortly as I get time thank you
Now the thread has already been derailed before you've said anything about working on the railroad.

I started it because I was being urged to “put up or shut up” and etc.
So I started this thread assuming that it would just be left alone till I had a chance to type something nice.

Re: Working on the Railroad
Speaking of railroads. This book was a childhood favorite of mine.
So much so that I wanted a sledge hammer.
Right up until I was given the opportunity to actually use a sledge hammer to help tear out a concrete patio in the backyard of my childhood home. Then I never wanted to use a sledge hammer again.

You have to hand it to him, he's quite good at getting people to respond.

Honestly, if the posting of this thread counts as trolling, then its good-natured trolling and isn't harming anybody...

I think he's an older guy with nothing better to do and there is no harm in keeping him entertained.
