Tom:

Thanks very much for clearing that up. I cannot recall if I was the one who asked you; I think I remember hearing the rumor about you being Kimball from Blair Hodges, back when he was posting as LifeOnaPlate. Regardless, my apologies for the mistake. Most of all, I'm glad that I and others will continue to get to enjoy your posts.

I can confirm that I was not Tom Kimball. I also did not know, nor did I have any type of relationship with, him. I knew nothing about his personal history. As a secondary subject of this thread, I will note that an active member of this board asked me 12 years ago via PM here if I was Tom Kimball, and I said no. I had no clue at the time or in the intervening years that the issue would very publicly re-emerge here in 2020.

To end additional speculation, I will say that I’m also not Tom (the piper’s son), Tom Alexander, Tom Araya, Tom Arnold, Tom Bosley, Tom Brady, Tom Brokaw, Tommy Chong, Tom Cruise, Tom Ford, Tom Green, Tom Hanks, Tom Hardy, Tommy Lee, Tommy Lee Jones, Tom Morello, Tom Murphy, Tom Selleck, Tom Thumb, or Tom Waits.

I’ve likely said too much. I need to return to writing my forthcoming three-volume biography of Louis Midgley, tentatively titled Junkyard Dog of Mopologetics.
Thanks. I'm glad to know the truth. Also, if you write the three volume series, I am sure it would be a best-seller. So much of Midge's tactics can be compared to defending the indefensible in all walks of life and that might resonate with a wider audience.

I have always enjoyed the comments by our "Tom" and am greatly relieved to see him still here.

And you weren't on the Ed Sullivan show?

You're not that Tommy, are you?

Odd, I am not finding anything at all about this story at the Deseret News or Salt Lake Tribune. Not even an obituary. I wonder why that is.

Okay, but how can you prove it?

I am not an academic of any sort.
I am sure the faculty at Cassius are open to changing that based on meritorious contributions here.

No doubt you will deny being Tom Terrific, Tom Bombadil, or Tom Yum soup. Anyway, good luck with your volume on Louis Midgley.
