: : I'm not claiming to be long time poster either, i'm just saying that some newbie shouldn't come here and try to tell everyone what to do. The V.A. board was just fine before rocket scientist reared his ugly head.
It is interesting to me to see that these physical terms and insults come out of a form of interaction that is based soley on words. Weird. Its like falling back on the conventions of one paradigm in the middle of a whole new one.
And dude has provided a return to some much needed MickCollins-style anger (and ubiquitiousness), but with a more literate twist. "Just fine?" What, with endless Jay-on-the-lam updates and debates, and "Man am I bored! Who here likes P.Diddy?" posts? Feh! It is a welcome change of pace; I hope he continues to stir up some shit. AAaaand he was familiar with the Karate Men Rockem-Sockems, so already there's a point in his favor.
I don't think, as some folks here seem to, that dude is a "secret Red." Seems like, from some of his points of reference, that he works, or has worked, in the areonautics field. Who else knows about, and spells correctly, German WWII-era planes?
