Diversity Makes Greatness
Hello Micawber,
When I arrived 2 years ago and announced I wasn't going to put up with nasty personal attacks I was told by many that my style of 'morals and decency' wouldn't work here, that I wouldn't last, would have nobody to talk to, etc. I was 'out of place' to try to expect purely academic posting in such a crude forum. That has been proved demonstrably incorrect.Originally Posted by Micawber
Despite the stench, I have not only carved out myself a nice niche, but have brought out the decent side of many posters who apparently had missed polite posting. And it should be noted that there are others who never stoop to the guttural habit of swirling relentless depravity. Basically, since there are few rules, this place is what we the participants make it. I invite everyone to join me in making it the best board we can.
I almost have to laugh now. My original PIP freely invited trolls to unload on me at will so I could quickly build an effective Ignore List. It worked! within weeks I had the workings of a great list. That allowed me to filter out the garbage and find the gems. It has only gotten better since.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

Have known him for years. He is probably the most intelligent poster on this board, based on my past experience with him. I have absolutely no reason to doubt his credentials. He talks the talk and walks the walk. But I guess you knew that.

I've known him for a while also but I don't think it was from the same board. I don't recognize you . Probably because Bull Durham wasn't on dcj.

I don't have a 'normal' vote. I'm fiscally moderate..... socially liberal. I voted for a Republican once for President. But my votes for Governor, Senate, and House have been much more split, with lots of my votes going to Republicans and Independents. As for the next election, I won't vote for a Republican for dog catcher. The party and the sycophants who make up that party need to be punished with extreme prejudice for their enablement of the Donald. Every one of them has to go.

Would you care to explain the significance of your chosen name?

I believe so. I was there during the time of Parkav, Mayberry, Jeep, the crazy Boston Doc, Bill Cosby, Dave, gobear, OldMercsRule, BlackasCoal. If you are the person I think you are, we jousted because you had a libertarian slant, but your arguments were well reasoned. Those were fun times, but eventually someone got all of my personal information and had a field day with it. I stuck around, but it got a little ugly there. I learned my lesson!

Understood but what's your opinion of The Russia Hoax Mueller investigation , the Kavanaugh - Feinstein - BallseyFord fiasco and impeachment over a phone call?

It's a play on my kids names. And hopefully not easily identifiable. The con refers to neither my political slant nor my ability to scam people.

I think the Mueller report laid out clear evidence that Russia assisted the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, and the campaign welcomed that help. The fact that it didn't rise to the level of a criminal indictment doesn't change that. It also laid out several clear obstruction of justice charges, and clear campaign violation charges. The same is true with the impeachment, which was triggered by a phone call, but went far deeper than that. Romney was right. And his vote reflected that. Others SAID the right thing but lacked the moral courage to back up their words. So if you are asking whether I believe Trump has committed offenses that disqualify him from office, the answer is an easy yes. He should have been removed a long time ago. I think that will be taken care of in November.
