Mascot is a paid hack “influencer” but sucks at it because he is a pompous asshole

I actually enjoy his posts. He's one of the few people here I make a point of reading on a regular basis despite disagreeing with him on some issues. Always cogent and to the point.

In fact, I noticed he hasn't been posting recently. Good to see him back.

Making friends and taking names.

"I noticed he hasn't been posting recently."

I thought I'd give everyone a break. Including myself.

It won't be the last time I check out for an extended period of time. Thankfully, I have a life outside of this comment page.

Perhaps that's one reason your posts are generally worth reading: "Thankfully, I have a life outside of this comment page."

As for me, I'm literally chained to the floor in front of a monitor forced to respond to every comment here while living on scraps. Think Plato's Cave, but with gruel.

oh man, not the "paid hack" thing...that's so trite.

Not that I'd even know where to apply for a Paid Hack position, but anyone who reads enough of my posts ought to realize that there isn't a single Special Interest that would consider hiring me. I'm too Politically Unreliable.

maybe I should re-name myself Big Mascot.

You know, to get in better touch with a sense of humility.
