Overnight Open Thread (21 Jul 2017)

FTC probing allegations of Amazon's deceptive discounting. Too many folks focus on percentage supposedly saved and not on the reference price trend of the item before the "sale".

An analysis found that in 61 percent of products with reference prices, Amazon's reference prices were higher than it had sold the same product in the previous 90 days, Consumer Watchdog said in a letter to the FTC dated July 6.

Also, their QA process has some issues. I ordered something electronic advertised as new and I received a previously opened item as the outside sticker had been sliced already, the device inside the box was upside down, the usb cable was a mess, and there was a missing screw on the bottom. A friend of mine the next day had the same issue of a "new" item having been previously opened.

Fossils

Man, I never found anything cool like this when I was growing up and hiking in the mountains. Boys find a 1 million-year-old Stegomastodon while on a family hike in the desert. What's the coolest or strangest thing you found while out on a hike in the wilderness?

Fighting

Yeah we should. Why we should allow boys to fight. I do practice self defense moves with both my kids and we also do quite a bit of the lightsaber dueling. The banging of light sticks at night is quite a bit of fun. Seriously though, you never know when you will find yourself in a dangerous situation and you will need to fight. Better to be ready and you can only be ready if you have practiced and or have experience.

Su-35

Dayum. It's like he had a handbrake he could use in flight on some of those moves.

Climate Change

Can sea monsters be far off? Sure, why not? It's not like they are held to account for their previous failed predictions.

Dumbassery

Minnesota schools adopt transgender toolkit for kindergartners. Kindergartners? Are you shittin' me?

Dunkirk

Here's the complete score for Dunkirk. I do intend to see it this weekend.

Milk

Political Hat notes that SF schools have apparently embraced the white supremacy of white milk by banning chocolate milk.

Dog Stories

We still don't really know where dogs came from.

Heroic dog plunges into harbor waters to rescue a tiny baby deer from drowning.

1 Evening, ya miserable collection of strangers.

One more day of 100°F before we get a break, maybe, some rain (a/k/a pre-humidity) and a cold front bringing temps down to the mere 90s.

Could be worse. This is merely July/August in Oklahoma. It's why we invented swimming pools.

Idi and I like the idea of a "MUMR/Idi 2020" shirt...

Speaking of which, did you hear about the time Idi and I were at screen printing camp, learning how to do t-shirts for the 'Nuke the Gay Whales' activist group we were supporting?

There we we were, inking up, when in walks Maxipad Waters with a REALLY weird expression on her face. I mean, weird for her, so you can imagine...

Anywho, she is mumbling about getting screen printed panties for her boy toys and house slaves, drooling, and trying to get a vegetable peeler up her left nostril.

Idi, wanting to help, tries to take the vegetable peeler away from her and she goes ape shit! Hilarity ensues with shit, shirts and stuff flying. Next thing you know, Maxipad is in the trash covered in rainbow ink colors with an inking squeegee stuck in her crack and Idi has just gotten a job offer from one of the servants to be the new chimney sweep, limo tire inflator and vegetable peeler...

Idi was sorely tempted, but declined after he realized that her tertiary neuro-syphilis might not be contagious...

67 "It's like he had a handbrake he could use in flight on some of those moves."

The Flanker was displaying amazing low speed agility all the way back to when the Gorbachev thaw first had Soviet versions showing up at Western air shows. It's a tremendous basic design.

But, really, such adept nose pointing and ability to fly out of the stall, while important in a late-eighties, early-nineties context, aren't that key nowadays.

The selling points for the jet in 2017 are: it's cheap and numerous. It's fast. It flies high. It's stone reliable. It carries a metric shit-ton of ordnance. Carries it a long long way on internal fuel. It's not tethered to some whizbang ground computer console without which it can't even take off. It has a big nose to into which one may wedge a large aperture radar.

It's the overall champ for now and probably for the next decade.

Also, when I was a kid, went camping in the southern Absarokas with my buddy and his dad, and we found a cairn with an arrow shaped rock on top pointing somewhere to the west. It was old, and weird.

88 Fossils

Man, I never found anything cool like this when I was growing up and hiking in the mountains. Boys find a 1 million-year-old Stegomastodon while on a family hike in the desert. What's the coolest or strangest thing you found while out on a hike in the wilderness?


Feh. So they were walking through the wilderness and they discovered an old fossil of a hideous, prehistoric beast. I don't see what's so cool about that. Happens all the time.

97 Appropos of nothing, on the first whining thread Skookumchuk posted a link to an article at gCaptain quoting a US Navy source that the crew of the USS Fitzgerald (collision casualty with the container ship) would be found to be at fault/responsible. Well, duh. A f***ing Burke-class destroyer in good weather and normal conditions colliding with a huge slow container ship? Yeah, there's really not even a theoretical excuse for that.

Anyway, that gCaptain site is interesting. Had an article and photos of the Costa Concordia salvage, and lots of other cool maritime stuff.

Oh, and the Baltic Dry Index (some consider it a very important bellwether on the global economy) is hitting new highs.

And finally, the little island where the Costa Concordia came to grief (Capt. Schettino, 16 years in prison), Giglio, was a place I've actually been. Spent a weekend there back in the 90s.

Apparently Mexico uses 2" sewage pipes that cannot accommodate toilet paper along with the other treasure, so Mexicans put used toilet paper into bins. (God forbid they use larger diameter pipes.) In America, no bins, so they throw the used toilet paper on the floor.

Joyce and Hubby are on the road. Here's today's report (from Hubby):

Yesterday Joyce and Hubby visited the Ringling Art museum taking in the beautiful artwork.

They took a docent-guided tour:

"Taking in the Renaissance art"

And there were some great pictures of Joyce, as well.

As I said to Hubby "beautiful! And the paintings aren't bad, either."

157 7 White (Milk) Supremacy

The association of milk with colonialism, oppression, and White supremacy has been a long running trope among the insane and woke (apologies for the redundancy) Left, to the point of their denial of evolution.

Posted by: The Political Hat at July 21, 2017 10:26 PM (vBeA5)


When I was a kid, I would only drink chocolate milk. I couldn't stand the plain stuff.

There may actually be something to the milk = white supremacy thing. Apparently, several thousand years ago, a genetic mutation occurred in a population that enabled them to digest milk. They quickly spread throughout Europe. They may have invented cheese, which gave them a form of storable and transportable protein that other populations lacked.

To this day, if I saw one of them being beaten and stabbed to death, I'd react the same way they did to my torment: by doing absolutely nothing.

Here's hoping they're being bullied every day by the asshole nursing staff at their nursing homes as we speak. "Oh, you couldn't stuff your fucking food down your fucking geezer gullet after we fucking slid it under your locked door because it was fucking filthy and ruined ?!? Fuck you!!!"

176 What's the coolest or strangest thing you found while out on a hike in the wilderness?
---------

I wouldn't call it strange, but as a 12 year-old I was wandering deep in the swamp/woods (with my trusty Remington, of course) and found an old sawdust pile. I diligently looked for any sign of an old road or path in or out, but there was no evidence of that at all. I suppose that it must have been created some 75-80 years before.

I have occasionally come across roses growing in deep clearings where there must have once been a house, and yet, no evidence of a house at all.

I also have pottery shards that I found as a kid which had washed out of the bank of a local of tidal river.

Of course, I never had an iPhone, so none of that stuff matters very much.

My wife, who spent almost every weekend for years with her at shows, sat with her arms around Lacey on her last visit to the vet whispering their show win words, "Happy, happy" as she drew her last breath.

221 qdpsteve,

I'm of mixed feelings about how to deal with bullying.

Those doing the bullying need to be stopped, but I've seen both:
1) Those being bullied punished for simply defending themselves, and
2) The edict against bullying extended to speech. Where do you cross the line from trash-talking to bullying?

I got more verbal bullying when I was a kid, and yes, I hated it, but I survived. Physically assaulting someone, however, should never be tolerated.

Posted by: rickl at July 21, 2017 11:01 PM (sdi6R)

Apparently here were probably three populations that had genetic mutations to allow digestion of milk, one on the steppes with the populations that were the source of the Proto Indo-european populations for horse and cow milk, Arabian peninsula (probably) for camels, and Africa.

There is some indications that in the Sahara region, in the early warming period when it was still steppe, there were populations that made milk into butter, which might be edible in spite of lactose intolerance, but the ability to rely on cattle, horses and sheep is considered to be the reason the steppes people could get away from the rivers and live a more pastoral life - and create a culture that could tear across Europe and Asia.

And since I am drinking heavily, have I mentioned my personal theory that the original wheeled vehicle was the chariot, and that the wheel was developed as a logical conclusion of the drop spindle used for spinning yarn and the travois?

Someone, (here?) suggested putting an item in your wishlist and that the item would shortly after decrease in price. A couple years ago I bought my wife a wheelchair at Amazon for, what I considered an great price of $120. A few months ago I decided to maybe get a second one as a spare. I put it on my wishlist at $115. A couple days later it was offered at $68. These are Prime shipping prices. So I got another one for her.

269 In 1982 my parents moved to Phoenix AZ. Our neighborhood turned out to be a rich and vibrant one. As a white LOOKING yute I was on the receiving end of a large amount of racism from said rich and vibrant yutes.
My so-called friends were anything but. We were more akin to a wolfpack, but with less loyalty.
I got to witness the parents of these kids teach them that bad things that happened to someone who was a minority was soley because they were a minority. Sure it was BS, but we are talking about the brainwashed here.
Ever see someone having given up on life at the age of 12?
I have. They were convinced this racist country would never let them be anything/anyone. A few of my "friends" went on to be gangsters, junkies, and criminals in general. A few are dead or in jail.
Malcom X was right. White libs are not their friends and in fact, are one of the worst things to happen to them.

The way I made the decision is that I asked the vet if my dog would get any better, and she said no, he'll keep getting worse.

What helped me was that I stayed with the dog while it was being done. She gave him one shot that made the dog fall asleep. Then she gave him another shot that stopped his heart. It was very easy and stress free for the dog. That made me feel better about it.

He was actually very polite to me. It was something that happened reall quickly- he walked out of a dressing room into a large hallway right in front of me. Basically, I'm standing with a piece of equipment and BAM! Brian May is 3 feet from me.

He seemed really nice and approachable He made a point to wear a "Detroit" logo T-shirt for the finale, and is actually a way better guitarist than I ever expected. Most of the band (not Adam Lambert) stayed really late at the venue--the show ended at 10:45, and I'd say they were there until about 12:30.

I usually avoid talking to talent, but it seemed rude not to, since my co-worker (remember my crazy gay former friend? It was him) just gushed at him. So I felt obligated to say something, but it was sincere, since I did think he did a great show. He's kind of like Ritchie Blackmore meets David Gilmour, which I did not expect.

So sad that he's on the global warming bandwagon.

Cool. My dad was an ace at finding arrowheads. He grew up on a farm in NE Colorado, out on the plains. Along the dry creek beds he would walk while scanning sections of newly broken off bank. A shape or glint of rock would catch his eye and he'd reach down and pull up either a shard or an intact arrowhead. Amazing.

He was the same way with trout. Only not so much in the dry creek beds.

There are supposed to be two or three creations of the wheel in Eurasia, depending on the design. The Aztecs also had a wheel but they didn't use it except for toys.
I wonder though, since there is supposed to be some link between the Zunis and the Japanese languages, and the fact that the Mixtecos have a tonal language, almost completely unlike any other American Indian tribal group, I wonder if the the Aztec's wheels were not imported ideas from Asia.

299 where dogs are from...

2 points:

the famous russian fox experiments where dogs kits were chosen for submissiveness, bred, and physiological changes occurred, including multi-colored coats, floppy ears and curly tails, would indicate that domestication by selection created a range of unforeseen effects.

recent genetic findings indicate that there is a similarity between a mutation that causes a human syndrome producing overly gregarious and trusting traits in people and a canine sequence found in dogs, i.e. a sociability gene, that makes dogs want tom please people.

what does this mean? well it's the big idea i've been working on - and am revealing here for the first time!

you know how smart people like musk and haw kings are warning us about the dangers of artificial intelligence? well, what if we made a program similar to the genetic mutation found in dogs so that robots and androids would become big golden retrievers? fantastic! problem solved!

302 But wheels have requirements. Remember, even the Romans mostly transported goods by ass, oxen and humans, even with the good roads.

You need a place to run them -unlike really rugged central Mexico and the Andes - a critter to pull them, and gear to let them pull them successfully.

The Romans did use oxen but oxen are slow. Mules and asses are better than horses, but they do best carrying on their backs. They had poor tackle for the horses, so they couldn't carry much more for their feed than an equivalent number of porters (so we are told)

On top of which the porters could drag stuff directly into the warehouses, which the horses and cattle couldn't,

Anyhow, the steppes are great places for a light chariot. Central Mexico not so much

She deserves to be treated with contempt, with that kind of an attitude.

Not just one, but two of my bosses were frankly jerks to me, although they often made the pretense of being friendly. For a long time I tried to get in touch with them, because they both still works in the same places/industries (although both have been highly promoted since I worked with them).

And they haven't responded, and I only about a year ago realized: why do I want these assholes back in my life again anyway? Let them go.

That's the cr@ppy part time job that's going way in two months or so. It's also filled with annoying liberals, and crazy gay ex friend. FIle under "one of Shibumi's dead end jobs."

I only like about 1/3 of Queen's stuff, and he wasn't really on my radar, until he was in a bio on Ritchie Blackmore I saw on YouTube. He's a way better guitarist than I expected. Not that I thought he'd be bad, but I didn't expect Ritchie Blackmore meets David Gilmour.

BTW... if you like Queen, go see the show. Adam Lambert gays it up incredbily, but is so over the top, that it becomes camp and funny.

325 My class bully sat in front of me in my 7th grade english class. right before class started one day he turned around, grabbed my pencil and snapped the tip off. when he turned back around I slugged him in the back as hard as I could. cheap sucker punch to be sure. his eyes welled up and he let out a few stifled sobs. when he left class he said "I am going to fucking kill you."

skip forward five years, last day of class, senior year start of day, I bump into him in the hall and he says, "I still owe you for that sucker punch."

skip ahead five more years to our five year class reunion. Stopped by at the end to check in and who do I run into? Same guy, going opposite directions on the escalator, he says again "I still owe you for that sucker punch."

Guy never forgets anything but never gets around to doing anything. He may have been wearing the same iron maiden base ball jersey at every instance.

Remember too that the original Eurasian horse was weak and small and would not carry a full grown man. They were strong, but the only way to get them to carry much was that they had to pull.
It was only about the archaic Greeks that they had horses heavy enough to ride.

The American Indians, with the plains and the horse - shoot, the Vaqueros, the llaneros - didn't have any use for the chariot, they had big riding horses too, much more flexible and reliable.
And the Plains indians used travois.

Queen is a really interesting show insofar that its nicely balanced.

There's some cool technology, some cool video and some cool gags, however it's not overdone. There are a lot of moments where the band is just up there playing. And they are really good musicians, so I see that as a good thing.

There are also a few really spectacular bits in the show. So I'd recommend it, if it's in your budget.

Also, FWIW, the band is really involved in creating the show, and they are playing live. The creative team is really top notch: the overall design is done by the guy that just did U2, and the lighting is from Peter Gabriel's guy.

Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at July 21, 2017 11:54 PM (SRKgf)

The plains Indians did not really move into the plains until they had the horse, and, in fact, appear from some indication in religious ritual to have been farming people who adapted the horse and migratory hunting lifestyle.

The vaqueros in Venezuela and in Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil may have been migratory hunter-gatherers, but with the horse they took to ranching.

392 Dunkirk was a huge meh, which is a shame. I was really looking forward to it. Nolan hasn't steered wrong yet.

It just doesn't seem...big enough. The movie beach is pristine and white, no debris or footprints to speak of. I'm wondering if Nolan's decision to shoot the film AT Dunkirk was a mistake. He should've picked a beach he could really fuck up without dealing with preserving it as an historical landmark.

The film's skies are mostly clear of planes, the dogfights are sterile.

And the actual evacuation took a full week and 330k+ soldiers got out...you just don't see the scope in the film. You don't feel the Germans a couple of miles away. It was like a low budget art house film. 5 Mehs out of 5. 2 Mehs Up. Whatever.

400 I know you said that you hate that job, but what's so bad about it? You have great stories! That must be worth something, right?
--

I've done it for way too long, and was not able to progress at all in the job. The same thing I was hired for decades ago is the same thing I'm doing now.

The job is really physically demanding, and if you're not careful, the hours can destroy you. For example, this was yesterday for some people:

work at 8am.
stay all day, work show.
after show, take show down and put back in trucks
day ends at 2am.

back to work at 7am, for Vans Warped Tour.
they'll be outside in the heat all day
and then they'll take it down

BTW... time and half ONLY after 40. No double time. Pay is meh.

You meet tons of men, however, most travel and have the job they do because they do not want commitments or emotional entanglements. Think "frustrated ex-musicians."

Interesting stories? HELL yes. That is the ONE benefit of the job.

Welcome to my life. I need to re-invent myself, and right now, I've got a low level depression thing going on, so it's not been a fun past few months.

Also...I realized a short time ago that many employers are really vested in keeping good workers in their job and NOT letting them advance. By keeping people in their dead end jobs, the employer knows they have someone they can trust, and someone who makes them look good.

Work hard= get ahead. Not in my experience.

Also...I realized a short time ago that many employers are really vested in keeping good workers in their job and NOT letting them advance. By keeping people in their dead end jobs, the employer knows they have someone they can trust, and someone who makes them look good.

Work hard= get ahead. Not in my experience.

Work hard= stuck in dead end job until you quit.

Had never seen snakes in the wild before. When I told my parents how awesome it was they came to see the snakes and bones. They were a bit stunned by the snakes. I think they heard my tale of adventure and were doing a trust but verify operation.

477 Nice to come home and find all four of our little fuzzy feline friends are fine and ready to be fed. Kitteh continuity.

Looking over comments, several threads on which I might tug. Bullying. HS Reunions (again). Dog carts.

Reunions it is.

I feel kinda sorta maybe just a little bitty bit old reading about some o' you young'ns. Fellow 29yo's.

In three years will be my HS 50th. Small K-12 prep school I only attended for three years, but some of my classmates had been in there for life and were tight with one another. I was late-comer outsiderish.

Since graduation, I've had pretty much nothing to do with any of my class except the reunions. Wasn't particularly friends with any of them (maybe one, who never shows up at reunions).

So the attraction is mainly to see who's still alive and (for the living) to be able to look each other in our aged faces and say, well, look at that; we're still here.

Also, the fatcat folks who host the reunions put up a pretty good bar.

489 Back in my bookselling days, I had a customer with a taste for super expensive coffee table books. Since my wholesaler's search engine sucked swamp water with lots of ugly green toads, I used Amazon to find ISBNs. That's when I noticed Amazon was charging higher prices for these expensive books than the publisher's suggested retail price. Books published by universities, religious houses and certain other publishers usually don't have the price on the book cover, allowing the bookseller to name his own price. The books Amazon was overcharging their customers for were books without preprinted prices on them.

497 There was no Genius Award this evening, but fear not, I can provide!

I was attending a car club meet today in Calgary. As planned, a whole bunch of us drove several miles to an A&W drivein to attend their weekly Cruise Night. The place is near the Calgary Auto Mall. I was sitting a lawn chair under some shade trees, and we heard some tires squealing. Some dipshit in a late-model red Mustang was trying to be impressive. Anyway, the rear end of his car broke loose, and he did a 180, and was sliding backwards down the road. His car mounted the curb sideways and backwards, probably bending a rim in the process, and he tore up a bunch of grass, before his rear fender smacked the concrete base of a lamp standard. And if the lamp standard hadn't been there, the next target was a row of new Nissan Altimas at Brasso Nissan. Driver got the car moving forward again, slunk off, but came back later on foot, looking for lost parts, I guess. Pretty funny to watch.

511 Say what you will about Richard Dawkins, but today he absolutely PWNED the Stalinist radio station KPFA in Berkeley (yep, Berkeley again) who today canceled his talk at their fundraiser because the lefties in their demographic audience flipped out when they learned he criticized Islam in addition to Christianity:

http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/07/21/ kpfa-cancels-richard-dawkins-speech-tweets-islam/

Yeah, blue-on-blue action is sweet, but in this internecine battle, it's nice to see the anti-Islam combatant ripping the Islam apologists a new one. A few quotes:

“The idea that I have engaged in abusive speech against Islam is preposterous, which even the most rudimentary fact-checking by KPFA would have made clear,” Dawkins is cited as saying in the press release. “I have indeed strongly condemned the misogyny, homophobia, and violence of Islamism, of which Muslims — particularly Muslim women — are the prime victims. I make no apologies for denouncing those oppressive cruelties, and I will continue to do so.”

...

“KPFA, like so many, is guilty of confusing free speech with ‘abusive speech,’ banning a talk, and thus depriving people of the chance to hear Richard – and probably ask him questions or even criticize him,” Coyne wrote. “Here’s the station’s inevitable ‘but’: ‘While KPFA emphatically supports serious free speech, we do not support abusive speech.’ Give me a break! Criticism of ideas is not criticism of people, nor is it ‘abuse.’ Shame on KPFA for not realizing this, and for their craven behavior in canceling the talk.”

“You’re a homophobic misogynist.”
“But I’m a Muslim.”
“Oh, SORRY, I didn’t mean to insult your culture.”https://t.co/8fQYmYGwLb

520 Eastwood directed both movies (parts of both were shot at the same time, on Iwo, for obvious reasons). I don't blame Clint so much. He's shown his directing talent in plenty of other movies.

Could be me. Just seemed the Flags story line was dumbed down/hollywoodized terribly, for no apparent reason. Letters had several problems.

And I used "disappointing" for a reason, as I had high hopes for Flags, based on the actual history, which was powerfully related in the book (interestingly, I've always thought the author, son of the last flag-raiser to die, got SJW'd or whatever by his peers for Flags, which would account for the bizarre, ridiculous first 70 pages of his next book, in which he beclowns himself trying to create historical moral equivalence for the Japanese atrocities he's about to document ..... very odd).

All hours are strange nowadays.

I've wanted to shift back to early-rising. If only the ONT weren't so danged much fun.

Woke up this morn at 5:30CST, thought I was up for the day, made coffee, tuned in the headline thread, and suddenly about two hours later, when I thought, I should feed the pets... I was back in bed for a couple of hours.

Long haul overcoming ailments of a couple of years. Getting there. Odd hours a consequence.

Plus, time machine. You never know when I'll show up.

548 The Romans did use oxen but oxen are slow. Mules and asses are better than horses, but they do best carrying on their backs. They had poor tackle for the horses, so they couldn't carry much more for their feed than an equivalent number of porters (so we are told)

On top of which the porters could drag stuff directly into the warehouses, which the horses and cattle couldn't,

Anyhow, the steppes are great places for a light chariot. Central Mexico not so much

Reminded me. Went for a walk in Greenland once, while working at a rig there, and came upon the remains of a village. Still not sure if Norse or Inuit. But there were graves made of heaped-up stones, and I peered into one, and there was a skull grinning back at me. I have pics.

Posted by: L, Elle at July 22, 2017 01:29 AM (Rsi2C)

My personal experience with Chi has been nothing but positive. We have exchanged e-mails, and talked on the phone at length, and he snagged two sets of never-used quality bathroom faucets at a thrift shop, and sent them to me, and I paid him for them. Pennies on the dollar to what they cost new. So he did me a solid.

He seems to have gotten himself banninated, for what I do not know, and it seems to have happened when I was out of the loop for a few days.

I do know "Bill Wynn" was trolling here long before there was any kerfuffle regarding Chi. That does not mean Chi cannot be socking him, but to me, it seems out of character for him.

Llamas and alpacas are considered beasts of burden, I think. They carry loads, like camels, to which they are related. But they are too small to carry grown adults as riders. And I don't think they are used much, if at all, to pull carts, or to plow.

And just because I personally doubt that it's Chi, it does not follow that I have a better candidate in mind. I don't.

And this is not a slam against L,Elle, or against CBD. I'm just saying these accusations against Chi do not jibe with my personal experience with the man, which has been 100% positive, although never face-to-face.

That's a lie. No one picked a fight with you. We told you you were wrong and then you wouldn't let it go. And you are the one continuing to drag it out. Anytime people stop talking about you you keep bringing up more crap. Anytime people aren't talking you declare some bizarre victory as if you won something.


You know why Chi showed up and probably crossed a line in attacking you? Because you won't shut up and keep talking about him. No one here has mentioned Cthluhu but you.

A guy is in bed with a girl and decides he wants a little butt-sex. Instead of asking her, he begins maneuvering on the sly to get what he wants.

850 The obligatory - I've been a lurker/commenter/reader of this blog for a longtime. A thousand years in internet years. This nic is a sock I use at work that came about because of some long lost thread one day. I use another one at home that many/some of you would recognize. I've even been attacked by a commenter who is on this thread right now.

Having said all that, I woke up early and read the ont. The things that were said back and forth between 4 or 5 regulars was uncalled for and wrong. I'm not sure where the right place for that is but it sure as hell ain't here.

I was embarrassed for you all while reading it. Either this sock or my regular nic could/should be banned any day now, nevertheless all of that was damned disappointing.
