    Don’t know why, but it seems we’re like a candle to the lunatic fringe Right.

    Last time, his name was ThorDaddy (I think he’s dead, at least according to X).

    Before that. it was RamsWrath. Could this be RamsWrath?

    I’m proud of Billy T showing the restraint he did.

    We can’t make it about posters, T. Even in this forum. (Though that means ignoring very early history when we were discussing how we got here from the buzz board).

    Either way, that’s more of an email thing.

    Yes Thordaddy is dead. Dead at the time I posted here that he was gone. Billy T asserts that I’m lying with my posts. When I state that he lies with his posts he can’t take it. He plays the victim. Typical. I continue to show restraint even with your baiting me further with this thread.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    TSRF, I thought about it and perhaps its still too soon for me regarding Thordaddy’s passing but your painting him as the “lunatic fringe Right” is as inaccurate as it is insulting. He and I never discussed Trump simply because he wasn’t on the radar and then when he began to get noticed Thordaddy’s illness became worse and I’m sure he would have rather spent his time with family. However there isn’t any doubt in my mind he would be supporting Trump as the nominee. And since Trump is the nominee by definition his supporters are not the “lunatic fringe Right”.

    I find it odd that you would paint him that way especially on the topic of gun control since you posted this in his passing away thread-

    What I didn’t say, was that in my darkest hour, I needed someone to be mad at, and it was him. After I had a few days to simmer down, I realized that he was the mainstream early 21 century American opinion on gun control and that I, with my utopian idea of keeping assault rifles out of the hands of lunatics was the crazy one.

    Once I realized I was the irrational one, I sort of apologized, and he accepted, and we moved on. I never really apologized, and now I’ll never have the chance, at least not on this reality.
    —end—-

    Calling him and people sharing his view on gun control the “lunatic fringe Right” given your words of just over a year ago I find it hypocritical as well as disrespectful.

    I think it’s best for everyone this thread end. I already called a halt to it in response to T, and b you have no excuse for continuing personal stuff after I posted that warning. You can’t both go around speaking for the rules (“don’t be personal”) while also crossing the line in threads where there are explicit warnings.

    That aside, if you guys want to discuss individuals and personalities, do it in email. Leave your emails addys here or both send them to me.

    I get final say in this thread and am going to close it. This forum is for discussing board issues involving rules and changes and so on—those rules are never suspended when it comes to discussing people. It’s never about posters, at least not in controversial ways. Anything further goes to email if you want to keep discussing it.
