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.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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.....

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.

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

You’re still here and therefore fair game.

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.

And you surely put yourself squarely within that group. Even knowing your posting history, you're one of the good people.

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.

Reminded me of an old comedy film series, Carry On...
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? -

Hu? No idea what you are talking about.
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.
