For those who think Jason is a sock puppet....

... you might be surprised, but he's actually a neighbor of mine. Yup, Jason Leary.

Yes, he exists. He lives down here in Florida (I won't specify the city for fear it will be too personal for his liking). Yes, he really is a 40-year-old guy that is an absolutist, hates sex, and loves folk music and philosophy. He speaks of this site often, and visits mine and my parents' home from time to time to help my dad in the yard and other things like pick up CD's of music that I burn for him.

A lot of you that dislike him might think, "What's the point of this topic, anyways?" Well, all I'm doing is dispelling a common suspicion around here. You don't have to agree or disagree with Jay's (that's what we call him) views, but before you laugh him off as just some sock puppet, well, it's a fact that he's a real person.

I'm new, by the way. I'm not sure how often I'll be posting (if it all) around these parts, but Jay convinced me to make an account.

    no one ever said sock puppets aren't real.
    they often say things some other absolutist
    also said or heard from another or another
    from a long time ago.....

    what did one absolutist say to another?

    "I like the cut of your jibe."



    jibe 1 also gybe (jb) Nautical
    v. jibed also gybed, jib·ing also gyb·ing, jibes also gybes
    v.intr.
    To shift a fore-and-aft sail from one side of a vessel to the other while sailing before the wind so as to sail on the opposite tack.
    v.tr.
    To cause (a sail) to jibe.
    n.
    The act of jibing.
    [Alteration (perhaps influenced by jib) of gybe, from obsolete Dutch gijben.]



    of course jay is real, otherwise all the replies would be like an echo
    with their jibes cut, flapping in the wind, going where the winds and current may.....
    crashed upon the rocks or settling in some quiet cove, protected from storms
    until a tsunami washed back below the sea where jibes are more like fins.
