    A few others would go home saying "I wanted to hit him but i wouldnt have lived long enough to tell anyone about it".....

    Dude what are you, 70? The women here could kick your ass.

    Lol

    I've got news for you. I may be one my way to 70, but I can still pick Ax up and whip Andy's ass with him.....

      As a wise old man once told me, never screw with an old man. They can't fight you and life in prison is not that long to them.

        The assholes are so easy to pick out in this thread.

        You know.... if you joined in and actually bothered to get to know us rather than to just use us you too would be able to tell when people have their tongue in their cheek and when they're making a fist. You might figure out that there's not nearly as many fists flying as you think. Hell, it might even teach you how to self reflect, which would result in a new perspective on just who it is thats the asshole.

            I really dislike the tendency of disparaging people who are no longer participants here. It's really easy to take a swipe at someone with whose views/positions/politics/personality you disagree with.

            They're gone.

            Accept that and, dare I say, move on.

            I used to participate on another forum that started dumping on a person who was not even on that forum. I found it distasteful to attack him/her when s/he had no place to reply.

            Don't speak ill of the (figurative) dead, especially when they've been gone for years.

            Indeed. There is nothing to be gained by dredging up old wounds, and much to be lost. Again.

                  Yup. I can take it. Its ok. I know who the good people are and am learning to take and accept their rebuttals. People like you and George though, through our disagreements, you are both people who i am blessed to call friend.

                    It's not a "tendency", Dewey fucked with me while he was here, was disingenuous and manipulative, and I dislike it. There is not a "tendency", but leaving does not give immunity from comment in the future.

                          What a fun thread, memories, writing my fantasy dinner guest list.

                          Sometimes I feel Larry & Jolly are the same person, with Jolly the 'intellectual' persona, so only one would be allowed. Probably Larry, I like his straightforwardness.

                            How the hell did a thread about Trump turn into a discussion of a 12 year old thread on this board? Amazing.

                            FWIW, I think Dewey rocks. Probably in contrast to many of you, I met him personally. It's amazing how many of you judge him based on a few bits of coarse-grained information, without knowing any of the details.

                                  one was called 'Carry on Regardless'.
                                  There were 31 Carry On films made, I wonder if they'll make a 32nd in honour of Trump.
                                  What would a good title be?

                                    FWIW, I think Dewey rocks. Probably in contrast to many of you, I met him personally. It's amazing how many of you judge him based on a few bits of coarse-grained information, without knowing any of the details.

                                    lol, "the details are in the personal meeting". You are a target.

                                    Meeting somebody personally gives a different and wider perspective on a person than merely chatting on a public internet forum. It gives a better approximation of that person's character.

                                    Which, by the way, is a reason why I don't understand why a few of us never want to meet or see anyone else from the forum. Makes me wonder whether they pretend to be something different from what they really are.

                                      Yup, its ironic that the loudest voices here have never made known their face. Yet we have to accept them when for all we know, they are Russians here only to stir the pot and make us vote for Trump. Its a thing you know?

                                        Not sure of the title, but I definitely want him to be played by Kenneth Williams or Charles Hawtrey.

                                          It might surprise a few people here to learn that I am actually an MMA fighter. Particularly those who've met me.
