Ed as a friend: What do you think?

I don't know. I would not want to be friends with a guy like Ed either. I don't see what that's got to do with anything.

we should probably start a new thread
So here we are. What's wrong with Ed as a friend? Seems like he has a lot of great friendships.

I hope I don't get banned for this. It's been a lot of years I don't know who the sheriffs are these days and what the rules are.

Pray for me.

Well, my mind is immediately going to all the negative things I know about him (kind of an asshole to his subordinates, aloof, smug, not particularly eloquent, etc), but yeah, you're right, he's probably a lovely guy to know and spend time with. What I am saying is people are complex and Dave's probably not a complete douchecanoe either. I feel compelled to stick up for Dave A. right now 'cause people are bashing him when he's already down-- and from the information we have (again, other stuff might come to light, but probably not), all the "fuck Dave A. the crybaby" stuff is not justified.

Do you guys laugh when someone new comes to RM and sees you have 10s of thousands of posts and doesn't realize this is the 3rd or 4th incarnation of this board and it's really like 5 or 10x that number?

I'm hoping to drop out of the top 10 at some point, but some people need to up their posting game.

When Scurry gets turned into a movie and adopted into the Marvel universe, I'm gonna go to your Comicon panel and ask you about your engagement in this thread.

I feel like my posting on this board will likely lead to Disney refusing any involvement with me.
