He hasn't really posted here for a year. I can't recall him saying he was leaving for any particular reason.

Maybe it was Desh telling him that his ideas don't count because he's a socialist was what made him leave?
 
Hmm, that's too bad, I didn't agree with him much but he was a good debater and added to the site.

agreed, I liked him, it is too bad. Always nice to hear an opinion that isn't straight out of the Republican or Democrat camp.
 
I thought he was one of the coolest dudes on the site. While I think the blatant over the top racism is funny I can see where a black man would think it's a waste of his time.
 
I don't have anyway to verify this but I don't think bac left over racial issues. We occasionally hear remarks to the affect of we need to have open and honest discussion about race in this country.

Now I happen to disagree with Asshat's white men are victims belief but it doesn't mean we can't have a real discussion about it. It can be hard to have 'real' discussions on race where someone gets labeled a racist the minute they state a non-p.c. comment. Not to mention instead of having discussions conversations turn into attempted gotcha moments and the desire to label the other person rather than really hearing each other out even if you disagree.
 
I liked him. He said he'd come back on occasion, but he hasn't.

Another one I miss is IHateGovernment.
 
Definite blow to the site when he left. I'm not sure if this is behind his reasoning but I can see after awhile when the same people are on a site and you have the same arguments over and over and you can almost predict what the other person would say one could feel it's time for a change.

He sent me a private message before he left. Toppers comments pretty well sums up what happened. It's pretty much the same reason US Citizen left.

Much of the blame rests on board management. The notion to let morons simply engage in name-calling, insults, and overt racism .. supposedly all in the name of "being adult" .. is the failure that led to this.
