The circular firing squad

I have met KathyK and Jack Front in person. I have also met KathyK's new beau, I believe it was at one of @jon-nyc's piano parties. I have also met David Burton. Sure we disagree at times on politics or conspiracy theories, but we got along pretty damn fine when we talk about music and piano, family and such.

Jolly is confusing him with Kathy K.
DB left after bachophile noted the antisemitic undertones of one of his posts.
Kathy is an exception. She is an idiot.
Now you're talking about before I even knew about this forum, so decades ago. But I do remember Jack, so maybe my memory is faulty.
So, who cares. We should open our arms to everyone. We can't just be a clique for the smartest, wisest, most attractive people in the world, everyone should be welcomed!

Yes, that's right!

Yeah, it just turns out that that we happen to be the smartest, wisest, most attractive people in the world, but yes, we should welcome everyone.

hmmm. I think I do remember KathyK from the old days.
If someone wrote one sentence, she responded by writing a book. That's OK. Some books are worth reading, some books not.
You cannot be a forum member here, without being insulted one way or another, and then having thick enough skin to deal with it. As has been pointed out many times, arguments can get very heated, but at the end of the day we'd all go out for pizza and beer together.

The book response is an indicator. You're listening to yourself, but you're not listening to the other person. Dewey was famously (to my mind) responsible for this. I wish he still posted here. It would be fun to poke holes in his little world.

Nah, he's being poked enough, already.

Going back and reading that thread again reminds me of how much I absolutely despise lawyers.
I think the world would be a better place, if we put all of their names in a hat, pulling them out one at a time and disbarring every other one.

I'm pretty sure Dewey was driven off by a bunch of assholes.

I'm pretty sure Dewey is a sociopath who manipulates imbeciles.

IOW, anybody who disagrees with you is an imbecile.

If you think Dewey is a fundamentalley good guy, I would invite you to re-read the history, and its fallout. I cherish history, as you know.

Surprisingly, I think most people are fundamentally good.

I suspect his kids are good.

Yes, I know you do. Now name some flaws.

Well brought up, then.
I hesitate to comment on family situations we haven't really seen.
Also, we're all happy for Mel Gibson, but Dewey is a sociopath?

Ok then. Thanks.
