A well-known science-fiction writer I know, who will remain nameless, told me that I was "a gentleman and a barbarian, but you already knew that."

I never thought it that way, but he's right.

I told him it came from reading all of Edgar Rice Burroughs' books when I was 11 and 12. Or maybe it's because I'm descended from all those brutish Scots-Irish Borderers.

Turtle is a submarine reptile and a menace, which all posters here can attest to.

He really isn't all that amphibian/reptilian monster you have excited him about to be. Nope. He is much more. He a self-aggrandizing bull-shitter.

Such ashame as he has no Internet etiquette or manners other than a mirror it wears in front of it's face 24/7/365 presenting itself as though anyone gives a damn.

You do not wear a cockle of your own mind wrapped upped in a looking glass reflecting upon your image time after time like Mr. turtle. You actually make sense on your posts and have capability to convince others about your viewpoint.

Mr. turtle has no capability other its looking glass as it shines its hardback shell looking pretty for others.

I do hope that in "tongue in cheek" caustic sarcasm. If it is, right on.

If for real, well now, even Turtle does have a some redeeming social value, trivial as it may be.

Ok.. color me baffled,, but do posters "really" have an issue w/turtle?

Not for me. Sure, he's a bit full of himself, but he has a sense of humor and is generally inoffensive. Unlike SOME posters here who go out of their way to be confrontational, rude and obnoxious, Turtle is merely grandiose and beset with delusions of grandeur. But he shares them in rather entertaining ways, so what the heck. He's like the "local color" of 4um. All in all, we're better off with him than without him.
