I see there is job opening in this department for a qualified WC/WT contrarian. The last person to hold this position was apparently discourteous, irresponsible, and sometimes downright offensive. And, thanks to the mods, who do an excellent job of keeping this forum a pretty decent place, said individual got his sorry butt booted.
On the other hand, if we don't have at least one stubbornly opinionated individual posting polite but provocative positions, this department will become boring beyond belief. So we need a new, better qualified WC/WT contrarian to keep things fresh and interesting. I originally started posting here with an eye on this job. And, I admit that my first comments were a bit “troll-ish” (without, I hope, crossing the line). Unfortunately, I’ve lost my edge. In fact, I’ve found that many of you have a great deal of experience, and I’ve come to feel fortunate to have the opportunity to converse and share ideas with such a diverse group. I've even come to feel a sense of friendship with a lot of you guys. Sadly, as Ace has pointed out on several occassions, such sappy, fuzzy feelings make it impossible for me to take on this job. Damn you all! Anyway, right now we need a real hard-boiled, grumpy-assed, stubborn-as-hell, WC curmudgeon. Lately, I’ve had my eye on posts by Bill Mattocks. Now there’s a stubborn, opinionated guy. He’s also reasonably polite and directs himself to the issues rather than attacking individuals. But he’s not a Chunner, so he can’t help us.
So, I thought maybe posting this vacancy would help. How about you? Are you obstinate without being offensive and outright obnoxious? Do you have questions and opinions that are guaranteed to provoke a response? If so, try a couple of posts and you just might get the job!
