So strange of a response. Immamac is an amazing administrator and IMO, as one of the minorities in CR and on this site, doesn’t unfairly or indiscriminately bias or bigot against opinions and belief systems that are not in the libera mainstream here on this site. I think we are fortunate here in that way.

Could have taken his timeout, gone right back to bitching in one thread and rep hunting in the other. Oh well.

I think it’s pretty clear posters are unhinged when they point and say LIBERAL to me of all people because I ban them for being absolutely unhinged. I am absolutely for everyone being able to post whatever they believe, but when people start getting off the rocker and it has nothing to do with anything (this was the Ukraine thread) remotely close to what is going on that person is either on drugs or drunk so I tell them to take a break. 
 

then I delete your shit because you ask me to several times in a fit of rage and you can never come back. 

Oh Bravo, that's so unfair. And we were going to make you King of the Winter Carnival. 

i can't stop laughing at how furious he was you prevented him from winning 'most rep of the day'! again! 

he must have a virtual 'hall of champions' where he puts that on the wall 😂

They always come back tho. Then you have to figure out who they are and reup your ignore. Easier to just let them have their handle back so everyone knows who the heck they are. I can’t keep up with socks it’s annoying.

…but he left the chairs under the trees

@triplehorn has been gone for over a year. He was really concerned about his family members and COVID and went down the Ivermectin rabbit hole pretty far (I think) due to suspicions of "big pharma." People disagreed with his viewpoints, but I can't recall him ever complaining about moderation. (to be fair, I avoided a lot of that discussion, so perhaps he did.) At some point, for the sake of discussion, one has to make a choice when others point out holes or flaws in a position: stay, discuss, and reasonably consider the merits of the debate or withdraw. Some posters seem to have a siege or victim mentality and stay but it is obviously not very popular.

A virtual Hall of Champions?  Wonder where he got that idea?  We sure he went to UT?

I think it's fine that you like to suck Immamac's dick, as long as he is consenting. If not you should be banned. Because you can't just suck off a dude if you feel like it, whether you think he deserves it or not. Seacrest out.

truth.  even the hard banned ones come back and aren't immediately banned again.  the guys who get crowd sourced should probably just get a week off and a rep reset since they can come back over and over.

Strongly preferred because then if they truly are despised and wanted out they have to deal with everyone knowing it’s still them. 

He wasn't banned, but apparently Junior Miller either did not murder his wife or his ploy of lamming it to New Zealand worked in the aftermath, because he's back and as crazy as ever.

I was about to ask when sobriety became a prerequisite for posting. I hope they don't have breathalyzers.

I miss @Brad Wesley.

He changed his name to Jackie Treehorn and moved to Malibu, where he now produces low-budget pornos and draws dicks.

I know we’ve played this game before but there’s no way Swammy left this board entirely after getting crowdsourced so who is he now? Because honestly I have no idea.  

I took a time out several years ago. During that time Jade went away. There was reference to her dying. Truth? Did she die from her own cooking?

She probably realized that she had nothing in common with literally everyone here. 

 

Honestly don't remember how she found this place to begin with.

Big Tony was her cousin.  She googled him, found Shaggy, and that was that.

Perhaps mysterious flu like symptoms got him. He wasn’t young IIRC

He found his true place in this world. You can find him on TexAgs under "ShouldHaveSwamAtTexasAM" 

Jade probably got tired of getting dick pics in her PMs.  

 

Or, she's in jail.  She was sweet in a way, but she was ghetto as fuck.  I remember her boyfriend dumping her, and she threw her coffee at the new girl's car.   And didn't she end up in reform school or some shit?

No. Been dealing with some pretty heavy family stuff. My uncle Bill (mentioned him a bunch in the football thread) is back in the hospital again. My cousin, Josh, Bill’s oldest son, killed himself over a week ago and just got back a few days ago from the funeral. Josh was only 35.
then my uncle Bill collapsed and fell later that evening. He had just gotten out of the rehabbing place he was in about a week or so before Josh killed himself. We were very close growing up and spent a lot of time together every year until 2020 when Covid made things difficult to travel and see family. Just a gut punch. For everyone. I will never understand why Josh did what he did. None of us can ever wrap our minds around it. 
 

Just haven’t felt like posting much. Which I am sure is a relief to some posters. The Ukraine stuff is just painful to watch and read about and I don’t have any new takes. Plus we all pretty much follow all the same Twitter feeds so I don’t have anything helpful to add.

Very sorry to hear about your cousin and even without Bill’s rehabbing stint I can understand why he collapsed. I can’t imagine that. Prayers Nicole. I don’t know you but I love you. 

Damn, that is some heavy family stuff.  It can be cathartic to be on Surly during such times.  It's one of the few places that makes me laugh a few times a day.  Thoughts to you and your family.

Nicole, so sorry to hear about all of that.  We're here.  We're not here.  You can talk, not talk, not listen, listen.  Whatever helps.  But positive vibes into the universe for you and yours.  Every little bit helps.  

Don't know how to express this properly.  But there's always friends.  And there's always family.  There are friends that are like family.  We all know those folks who we grew up around that were always around the family but weren't blood, but we treated them as such.  Every family has them.  But not every family has blood relatives that you consider friends, first.  People that no matter the blood relation, you would cross a desert to stay friends with.  Sounds like Josh was that for you.  That's a rare thing.  A special thing.  Babbling aside, sorry again...peace be with you.  

Shit, Nicole, I’m sorry to hear about that. And completely understandable that you haven’t been posting on some anonymous message board while tending to your family. Peace.

Maybe she eventually took that free bus ride to L.A. hoping for a modeling career and is now working in the porn industry.

There is no way she is doing porn and this board doesn't know about it.

That's tough. I have a fairly close friend whose older brother ODed a couple weeks ago. Not sure he was even 30. Made me stop and think about my own life for a bit. People come and go just like that and it's a lot fucking harder when you're close to them. Hope you aren't beating yourself up over it or wondering if there's anything you could have done. It was his decision and you don't have to understand it. 

I think the board enjoys your posting for the most part. Different perspectives are a good thing here.
