Still crazy after all these years....

If you were a BBer then I have no idea how you could forget me. I was woolley and was on that thing every day for about say, 6 years straight, maybe more. Many of the people here came from BB.
I was a BBer and I remember woolley. I know exactly who came here from BB unless they changed their name and didn't say so. I take a person for what he/she calls himself unless I'm told something different. I don't go looking for socks or worry about what people have called themselves in the past. Thanks for telling me you were woolley. I was Jen on BB as well as here.

What I was saying is that although many of us came here from BB, we have moved on and only one poster that I am aware of still brings up fights that were waged on BB. Mention of BB is one thing............ still trying to fight the old wars is quite another and it's become boring.

What I remember from BB is that we fought all day and played all night. Nobody hated anybody unless there was a personal thing that needed to be fixed. Lefty and Righty basically got along.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I can get along with just about anyone unless they disrespect my family or lie about me. I enjoy a good insult. But Lefty here makes up lies about things I have or haven't said and I resent those lies.

I don't like personal hatefulness.
That said, come on back.

very few of us held grudges, hell I am friends with JD and SB, I even became FB friends with some others. I can't even remember what we fought about anymore, too many crazy posts to remember anyway. I did kind of leave BB for BOTF at the end, same nastiness without the humor though, guess I like punishment.

I always try to keep the humor in an argument if it's at all possible.
 
There are lots of nice folks here ....

Trolls exclude.

Why are you here?

Just to troll, right?
Funny you should ask. I go back to at least 2003 with many of the posters here, some I am personal friends with either having met them or correspond once in a while on Facebook or via email. I kind of stopped hanging around here about a year ago. Since most of us basically blew our intellectual wads on Slate a long time ago, there is nothing new for any of us here anymore. Some hang around likely because it kind of grew into a family of sorts. Most of us likely do not want to admit how much time we waste doing this stuff but after years of it, it gets to be a habit. I posted here to give everyone a big Hello and hopefully a couple laughs. The real question is why are you here? I noticed you joined recently and decided to jump on my thread to call me a troll. That's not very nice is it?

I called you a troll only after you trolled my thread with no response to the actual topic.

No ... it was not very nice but, it was very appropriate.

I merely summed it up for you and the others having listened to that video earlier this week. Say something once, why say it again? Prager makes a living separating us from each other, he spends a great deal of time trying to prove that anyone left of him is either a communist, a socialist, a Marxist or some combination of all three. Very boring stuff...I have no desire to explain it further since I already commented on it when you posted this thing on another site under the nic John T Ford.

You obviously don't have a clue who Prager is or the reality of what people on the far Left are.

But, considering the troll comments you made, being a low/no information types doesn't surprise any of us.

What name were you posting under at that other site?

Sir, you are hijacking my thread which was meant to be a happy one, now you made it so ugly. I have no desire to engage with you any further so if you would be so kind as to find someone else to pester, I would be very grateful.

When we first came here, yes I know your don't remember me ( madam and or white light who mainly posted in faith based, just occasionally in BB) it was like BB everywhere - that was the problem, BB was in every board from religion to gardening, it was uncontained. Then mods and a prison cell were introduced, 'the heavy hand' took over and many old Slat-ers walked or were pushed away - it is a shame but yup, you are right, there is also nothing new to say. Just family debate -

Slate used to have a labyrinth of boards joined to it ( intended for the discussion of this or that article but which grew into something else ) it was like the wild west, it was wonderful - no holds barred and Ballot Box was the wildest of them all. When Slate closed down and supposedly deleted the years and years and years of craziness many of us came here - the remnants of BB are here - Wholly was a BBer and is just touching base in this thread.

It was still pretty wild when we first emigrated - that wildness is still under the surface but has been, in the main, banned, sadly - perhaps PJ just wasn't big enough. The poor owners of the site, when Slate first descended, were totally ill equipped to cope - :) and handled it, in the end, with the usual old stick - the moderator. They even had a prison at one time called ............ Oh I forget what it was called but there are still lifers in it somewhere down in the ether dungeons.

This site is family - an old family from a place like no other, on line. PH holds some now and others just evaperated - this is all that is left. Sadly not enough, like Wholly, still pop in as we all did in and out of the old Slate boards.

Thanks for informing me.

Well, I left this hell hole for about a year or so because all we were doing was rehashing old Ballot Box crap and to be honest, none of us has any new material so what was the point about regurgitating last nights dinner with a bunch of whack jobs you spent drinking with for ten years. But today I decided to look you morons up and see if anything has changed at all. Surprise, surprise, surprise Sargent Carter, not a single one of you has changed your mind on anything at all. Talk about a waste of time, this beats Sisyphus. Not a single one of your conservatives have moved one inch. Not one liberal has moved an inch either. We have stasis, immovable rock, impenetrable fortress, gridlock. Yet human nature prevails and we continue to roll that rock up that hill thinking that this time is different only to find that we get almost to the top and the rock rolls right back down.

Onward O persistent warriors, onward to that impossible dream when one side wins overwhelmingly and indoctrinates the other side so that perfection can be achieved in our lifetimes. As for me, I will continue to be cynical, I have far too little faith in the intelligence of the average American to be optimistic.
I can catch more fish then you at least two to one.

Cause I’m right and you’re not.
