Moved it
He's living in a bucket on my patio.
(It's winter in the cornfields and armadillos don't do well in snow.)
You know what's ironic? I was searching for something unrelated to Alanzo but this link came up at the top, showing " Thursday, January 25, 2001" date

Sounds like he's not interested in coming back .
"Factor 1: I won't ever have anyone tell me what I can write and what I can't write ever again."
Hey, it would be really cool if Al start throwing down some posts here again. But there appear to be "factors" barring that.
One thing I don't get however is how his Factors work.
If he posts on MartyBlog or other sites, don't they tell him what he can write, simply by moderating, censoring and blocking posts which are not consistent with their propaganda?
If he writes a movie script, doesn't the studio paying him dictate what he can write?
If he writes a novel, doesn't the publisher give him editing notes to adhere to?
If he writes anything, doesn't it get judged, praised or criticized by whomever reads it?
I don't think Al was censored on ESMB as much as he was simply tired of his audience.
Well, as a crafty writer, he seeks inspiration wherever he can find it.
But, the only person censoring him is himself.
I'd love to see him lift his self-imposed censorship and continue to share some of his facile ingeniousness at ESMB.
Al, your door is unlocked. Come on out and play.

Good riddance.
I went and read his "apology", and it is endless, "look at what horrible thing has been done to ME!" Wah-wah-wah.
And, drama. Lots of contrived DRAMA there. You can scoop it up with a spoon - it's laid on so thick.
His post is so horrendously self-absorbed, and betrays HIS strange view of things in relation to himself. Read this:
"Even though I do not think I was necessarily considered a poster who was rude and corruptive to the newbies, I was still targeted for handling by the core members of the ESMB Moral Majority for being impious, and that was quite an experience which I will not have repeated on me."
"Core members of the ESMB moral majority"? :confused2:
"Targeted for handling"? Geez, can we please STOP automatically equating PT situations with PAST negative experiences in the Church of Scientology? Believe me, I am pretty sure that nobody was trying to "handle him". Yet, he says that - he believes that?
What a very STRANGE way to view things. In true relativistic fashion, ala Albert Einstein, the OBSERVED is DEFINED by the state of the observer. What does such a comment say about the person saying it? Because, a great deal of the things that he says are NOT "the way things actually are out there in the real world".
For being "impious"? Again, what a strange way to frame and position it all.
And, all of this "it was so horrible, and I won't ever allow myself to experience THAT again". Hmmmp! Stomping down the foot HARD! I AM OFFENEDED!!!!!!!
Just too much exagerrated (staged) emotions, righteous-indignation and possibly someone who likes nothing better than finding a real good EXCUSE to RUN OFF AND AROUND IN A TIZZY.
Endless "me-me-me":
I'm sick of being . . . .
I became a critic when . . .
I was not able to make informed decisions . . .
The goals I set up when I decided . . . .
Whatever. Yawn.
I don't miss the endless posturing at all - just as I don't miss the same sort of thing with his "evil twin" Vin.
I suppose this may be unpopular to some, and spot-on to others. He wrote some great posts IN THE PAST. But, today, in PT, well, just read it yourself. The link is above.
