Comments like that were the reason the thread got locked and you are partly to blame for it. Attacking his son like that isn't challenging an opinion it's trolling and borderline bullying.

Ja it sure was ****ty of me to do and I long ago vowed to not do that ****.

If Chula was the one that escalated everything into a fight, then he's to blame.

Frowny can do no wrong - both in his head and within the forum.

Let's just all accept it and move on.

I've accepted he's an *******. And pretentious. Which brings up a question:

Is there anything worse than a pretentious *******? I think not.

According to the modsphere, he pulls his weight via deleting enough spam and what not to allow him the right to be an asshole and do whatever he pleases, and none of the other mods care enough or have the balls or ovaries to shut him down. Sad, really.

If you look back on it it’s 95% on Chula

Exhibit A - Blaming Frown for “trolling” Chula is like blaming the wind for blowing
Exhibit B - He who smelt it dealt it

Is it bad that I waited for a few seconds to see if those ****ing gifs would load in at the bottom of your post?

Personally, I'd also like to see the Trump thread re-opened.

Frownland has apologised, albeit rather half-heartedly. Roxy rarely posts these days and it's possible that some of the most bitter pro/anti passion has perhaps abated. If the thread was re-opened with a Stern Warning from Exo, people might behave themselves, and if not it could easily be reclosed.

As a sign of good intent, I can even agree with Anteater:-

^ Me too, Ant Man Bee ! :laughing:

What is weird to me is that this forum currently has no thread dedicated to the sitting US pres, who, worldwide, is in the news almost every day. So, as Fluff says, sporadic Trump debates clog up other threads* - and even in terms of modding, isn't it easier to monitor just one thread than to watch out for some off-topic Trump-inspired spat going on in some innocuous-looking thread?

* Witness this very debate, in fact, clogging up the news thread because even threads that debate the Trump Thread are locked.

That's in and around the Merrimack Valley where I grew up. Methuen is right next to Lawrence where the worst of it is hitting. The homes blowing up all have the same gas provider.

My firefighter nephew is working the fires as are FFs from a ton of surrounding communities.

I think Boston's building up to a nuclear detonation.

For the record, not even really close to Boston. Merrimack Valley:

I’m willing to go full merit on this one. Dozens of homes just explode?

Advertiser Class Action Claims Facebook Overestimates Audience Size

Facebook is the guy in high school who invites you a party at his house under the premise of it overflowing with girls, booze, and drugs, but when you get there it's just him and two of his friends playing D&D and you have to walk a half mile to the park down the street if you want to smoke because his parents are strict.

There was also a door charge.

The big one can probably tackle you if he could catch up.

The GOP are going 120 MPH to get the guy on the bench. The same GOP who stalled Obama's supreme court nominee for over a year until after the 2016 election so that Trump could name the nominee he and the GOP wanted instead.

- After the anonymous letter was released, 65 women signed a letter on Kavanaughs behalf stating what a swell guy he is/was. After the accuser went public, 60 of them backed away and said they wouldn't testify under oath.

- The only other guy in the room during the alleged assault says he doesn't remember the incident and is also refusing to testify under oath. He's got a long history of misogynistic writings that have been dug up.

- The accuser passed a polygraph test administered by an ex-FBI officer.

- Both the accuser's therapist and husband will testify that she brought up the incident (but didn't name names) back in 2012 when they were in couples therapy.

- There's a video of Kavanaugh joking about his prep school that "what happened there, stayed there."

- The schools yearbook dedicated 2 pages with photos displaying how much of a party house the school was when Kavanaugh attended.

- The accuser wants the FBI to investigate her claim before she'll testify in front of the Senate. GOP says no and wants her to testify Monday. Note: It only took the FBI 3 days to investigate one of Anita Hill's claims about Clarence Thomas.

Think about it, if (when) Kavanaugh gets sworn in, the two most conservative members of the court will be guys who were accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment. The same guys who will be voting on women's rights issues as well as working towards overturning Roe v Wade.
