    Nothing personal, it was the PM harassment thing.

    It's not like I can sign back in and check and see, because I'm banned too!

    Running off of memory here..'round 2018-ish, maybe?
    Someone who would know sometimes comes here..

    Yup...'MM'.
    I just went over there to check and saw the same sig.
    I just saw a post where you insulted me pretty good.
    LOL.
    I imagine I gave as I got though.



    No...you did not get me banned...it was 100% my fault.

    Toobfreak was insulting my time in the reserves.
    I can live with that.
    But then he called everyone who was in the reserves - but whom did not see combat - had 'no honor or integrity' (not just me...EVERYONE in that boat).
    Well...that was that and I was out to wreck that intelligent but half-senile, condescending, lonely asshole.
    Right for the fucking jugular.

    I have posted tens of thousands of times on chat forums.
    But NO POST ever got me TRULY angry as much as that one did.

    You can insult a soldier.
    But you NEVER, EVER insult his buddies.

    https://www.usmessageboard.com/threa.../post-22523917

    So I tried to tear him apart in PM's.
    But the fucking coward refused to go man-to-man with me.

    And then the coward ran to the MODS to get them to get me off of his back.
    But I refused.

    I gotta say - the mods were REALLY cool about it.
    They warned me OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
    Several of them.


    But I had had enough.
    Plus, I was wasting too much time there and needed to get on with other things in my life.
    So I basically thanked the mods for the warnings (if I recall).
    And told them that I was NOT going to back off toobfreak.
    All he had to do was ignore my PM"s.
    But no...the little cunt could not even handle seeing me PM him...let alone reading them.
    So he kept whining to the Mods...without even reading my PM's.

    So - reluctantly - I forced the Mods to ban me.
    Gave them no choice.
    I have nothing bad to say about them.

    Hell...I am not even mad at toobfreak.
    The guy was clearly lonely and angry about something.
    And I knew he was a frail, old fart to boot.
    I should have just blew him off.

    But when he knocked my buddies in the Reserves.
    That was too far.

    So nope...you had NOTHING to do with me getting banned.
    It was 100% my fault.

    Note - one way to tell with almost 100% accuracy - IMHO - if someone is a troll or not?
    If they refuse to debate you in private.
    Then you KNOW that they are trolls because they ONLY work in front of a crowd.
    And they have not got the courage/confidence to debate you without anyone to back them up/support them.




    BTW - I must say...you seemed to have mellowed a bit since then.
    Or maybe I have.
    I dunno.

    Say?
    Why did you leave (if you don't mind telling me)?
    You apparently were not banned and it says you have not posted their for awhile.

    That's part of it. Cities are homeless magnets.

    Remember the stories of hobos and hobo camps during the Great Depression...at least in the movies. Now they are all in the cities; not going around the country asking to work for food.

    Everyone has their own journey to take. It can include college but certainly doesn't have to. Maybe I was making a wrong assumption by what you meant when you said dregs of society and my apologies if I did. To me, that term usually refers to those with lessor education who aren't doing much with their life.

I've been to a fair number of small towns in the southeast as well, including Biloxi, Baton Rouge, Tulsa, Norfolk, Waco, and Wilmington.

    Many of these are mostly nice people. They work hard. They keep their homes and yards clean. They are proud of their little town.
    You can say the same thing about any place. Big, lib'rul city or small redneck town.

    Why is it OK to make broad brush generalizations about one, but you piss your panties when it gets done regarding the other?

    And where did I say that all Republicans are rednecks?

    Sounds like something hit a nerve there.

    Maybe a little too close to home.....?

    It's not! I wasn't involved!

    I said "May".

    If that was it then no, I wasn't involved. Hell we had to worry about Chinese College Diploma seller spammers there.

    I'm kinda glad, I don't see myself as a snitchy douchebag of a person.

    I'll report some BS spamming in a heartbeat, though.

    IMO toobfreak is a reverse shill like TDAK here, just not as pronounced.

    He's the one that got a 72 subscriber private thread shut down over there.

    A thread like that could be made here, and the mods can't even see w/o being invited. The leftists here have one.

    Notsomuch interest for others, though. May not be a bad thing.

    Nope...I got myself banned.

    In fact?

    In just about every place I have been banned...that was how it happened.

    I pushed the rules.
    I was warned.
    I said 'fuck it'.
    And forced them to ban me.

    I don't like following orders.
