    Rest in peace, Dixie. Eternal memory.

    R.I.P. Dixie. You were a bit too verbose, but still a good egg

    Dixie's rants were epic.

    He and I had some spirited debates. But he stayed on topic. I don't recall him ever getting personal. I mean, no more than him calling a dumbass or something. And he was usually well prepared.

    Those were good times here.

    As far as I could tell, Dixie was here to discuss politics and the issues of the day. I never got the sense that Dixie indulged in personal grudges, washerwoman gossip, harbored lingering resentment, bore petty grievances, or had the slightest interest in any posters personal life. And, oh man, the Iraq War debates with him were absolute classics. I think, in hindsight, good times were had by all that participated!

    I wonder, if each of us died, why did we wait so long to say such kind words.

    I don't know any of you posters personally, Beefy was a tough one because someone I knew talked to him personally. And they became friends.

    With posters like Dixie, I rarely, if ever become friends.

    Yet, through his death we (left and right) come together.

    Why the flunk does it take death for that to happen for most folks?

    I believe that the incident actually occurred over on FP, the predecessor of this site. The only person who could possibly retrieve it for you is an inactive user called SR. But, he probably doesn't have any saved files from FP, despite his association with breaching the privacy of his users.

    It's called having good manners. I used to talk trash to Dixie, and continued to badmouth him for running away from the site, but, I wasn't even going to bring-up the 1/3 or the blue jeans controversies, yet, other posters have seen fit to do so.

    Bummer- I had always wanted to read the comments. Dixie laughed about it a lot.

    Nope, there have been numerous threads in which the matter has been rehashed, but, here is Dixie attempting to dispel myths about himself way back in 2007.
    interesting.....so when you idiots were talking about it in 2010 it was just a reincarnation of your previous stupidity?......at least in death he is proved right and you wrong......ironic......
