You could ask one of his contemporary pupils. Not sure where you’d find that Plato dude, but this whole thread is about the other one, Lib.
Then again, all threads are about him.

True. Walt Disney never talks about Mickey’s dog much any more.
Yes, but I was speaking to RNATB re: Elvis’ crotch… :eek:
All the countless man-years, ingenuity, and expense applied to the development of computational technology and the Internet over literally generations, and this is its culminating achievement …
Yes, I think we can shut it all down now. In fact, the stars might start going out, one by one…
Well, that and Rick-rolling. Can’t believe you forgot that.
Sad indeed considering what a Sockratic masterpiece Pueblo Plato was.
Someone alert the media!
I thought Socrates was a Brazilian footballer? And didn’t Plato play for France, or was that Platini?
Yup, back in the 80s. Best philosophical player I’ve ever seen. Went on to become Portugal’s Prime Minister IIRC.

In the arms of Caesar…fly away from here…
All we are is dust in the wind, dude.
Who will die within the next year or so.
Ooooh, that just burrrrnns! Didn’t think you had it in you, Guin…you badass girl, you!
Ready for a spanking?
I got the time if you got the dime!
(I hate the time limit!)
In all seriousness, though, Lib, what on earth was your motive here? Am I the only one who feels that he’s simply trying to use yet another personal tragedy to gain sympathy points? I want to express my condolences to his family. And yet…at the same time, I can’t help feel I’m being jerked around.
If that’s the case, Liberal, that’s absolutely disgusting. You did it with your brother’s death, with your own poor health, and it’s fucked up.
I don’t give a shit if I’m accused of piling on. This is one thing that REALLY is “beyond the pale.”
Well, it should be Edna.
(Paraphrased old joke by somebody.) (Groucho?)
Peace,

You may not have noticed, Guin, but among the dozens of repetitive yuk-yuks and drive-bys were a couple of welcoming well wishes. My “motive” was as I said in my post: to inform people who had left kind messages why it was all gone. Many of those messages were from Dopers. There were also people who aren’t posting in here, like TubaDiva and Polycarp, who had left very sweet posts. And they may be reading. Fenris brought up the site, and so I explained to those who care why it is gone. If you are not among those who care, then the post was not intended for you. The interpretations of my motives with respect to my brother, my grandson, and my mother and father too, I suppose, that some of you attribute to me are horrible and cruel. But I don’t care what you think. If you were not wondering what happened to OurDawson, then the post was not intended for you. If you are wondering whether you should express your sympathies, then the answer is no, you should not. You should write something biting. Something hateful. Something that is witty at the expense of me and my family. Nothing I am writing in here is intended for any of you. Just for a couple of well wishers, and a few lurkers.
Maybe one day the curtains will part, the angels will sing, the bells will chime and you’ll realize that on a public message board you’re writing to everyone, not just the few selected people from whom you’d like to see replies.
