In Praise of Josh Timonen

[mozg]

With many, many apologies to William Shakespeare and all his fans.

Friends, RDers, netizens, lend me your ears;
I come to bury RD.net, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with RD.net. The noble Timonen
Hath told you RD.net was fractious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath forumites answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Timonen and the rest -
For Timonen is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men -
Come I to speak in RD.net's funeral.
It was my home, soothing and cozy to me:
But Timonen says we were fractious;
And Timonen is an honourable man.
He hath brought many visitors here to RD.net
Whose reason did the forum content make:
Did this in RD.net seem fractious?
When that the believers spoke, RD.net hath wept:
Fractiousness should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Timonen says we were fractious;
And Timonen is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Internet
We often posted some off-topic words,
And we did refocus also: was this fractious?
Yet Timonen says RD.net was fractious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Timonen spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love RD.net once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for it?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with RD.net,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Hi Kate .

I think the name Josh is well on its way to becoming an insult here in its own right.

To josh or joshing is a real word meaning to joke, jape or jest.

For being booed out of the building at the Atheist Convention Australia. I wonder if he has the guts to show his face there?

[Viraldi]

Anyone suggesting a Timonen Award?

[riddlemethis]

Is that really him? Now I've clapped eyes on him, I totally understand. That's a slack jawed turd in the mouth mug if ever I saw one. This is just Revenge of the Nerd really, isn't it.
