This poll is being undertaken for purely selfish reasons, but it's an issue that's bothered me for a very long time.
franksolich is a nice guy, one of the nicest guys one can hope to meet. franksolich lives w-a-a-a-y out in the unpeopled Sandhills of Nebraska, miles and miles away from any primitive, and lately franksolich hasn't been up to visiting blue states and blue cities. franksolich is just an Average Joe in the intelligence department, enough wits to get by in life, but not especially sharp. franksolich, even though a male in his prime and vigor, being deaf, is actually more vulnerable to physical violence than all the primitives on Skins's island excepting the brain-dead ones.
However.
However.
However.
Because of his involvement in Scamdy several years ago, and because of the drug-stimulated psychoses of the EMataHari primitive, Doug's stupid ex-wife, franksolich gained a wide and well-documented reputation among the primitives of Skins's island for being a "stalker." I dunno how the other members of Scamdy--of which there were many, and from both sides--escaped such onus, but there you have it; there it is.
The record clearly and loudly shows--although the primitives don't want to see it--that both Scamdy and franksolich scrupulously respected boundaries (while the primitives didn't; but even though the primitives cheated, decent and civilized people won, in the end), limiting their activities to merely watching the primitives on Skins's island, nothing more than that.
Now something new's arisen, and being a nice guy, franksolich doesn't want to scare the excresence out of a little old lady, the grasswire primitive and her pie-and-jam store. This has already happened one time recently, involving Mrs. Alfred Packer, the hippywife primitive, who's apparently now too frightened to hang around with the cooking-and-baking primitives, thus depriving the primitives of homey illumination, and decent and civilized people of amusement.
franksolich does not wish, in the slightest way, to give the grasswire primitive even a faint scrap of a notion that franksolich is going to get on an airplane and fly 1500 miles away to stalk her.
But it just might be happening, this paranoia in the grasswire primitive; it most certainly happened in the case of the Packer clan down in northeastern Oklahoma. And if the grasswire primitive quits hanging around on Skins's island, the DUmpster's going to be deprived of one of its main stars.
Damn.
So, the question: do any of the primitives, really, have any reasonable reason to be afraid of franksollich?
