    And so are you.... in fact, because of your sudden and drastic ability to spell even simple words correctly (Deshrubinator never could spell), I believe that you aren't even Desh anymore. I miss her.

    The real Damo would have never claimed Hilary committed crimes when there is no fucking shred of fact to show that


    I came back here and there it was posting a thread claiming Hilary did Benghazi like a brain dead trumper

    We would disagree but he always recognized a provable fact

    I have always been just Damocles. Same guy in Colorado who you met as Damocles on p.com. I don't romanticize the past though, but you sure do seem to.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    There has never been a "head mod"... All moderators are equal.

    Nope

    I trust the promises a friend makes to me


    I thought you could be trusted

    You promised to always accept facts


    Then you didn’t


    Now you sound just like grind always did

    Because it is not. I 100% would be in prison if I put SCIF info on a unencrypted and unsanctioned server. Crap I would have gone to prison if I unknowingly dropped someone's SCI classified notes while going down the hallway to the incinerator.
