The curse of the Redneck Male *something many females should read*

[WARMACH1NE]

Well, I don't post here very much but recently I stumbled on an article I found online which was very interesting. It talks about how Redneck males in general have the worst luck when it comes to romance outside their own family. Please read and leave feedback. I am just very interested in what people think.


All right. I'm finally going to publish what my friends and I have been saying for years. I'm finally going to clue you in to the plight all Redneck Men face. Have you ever noticed that an Redneck Guy is never the smart kid on campus? Have you noticed that a lot of Redneck Guys just don't seem to be the most popular with the ladies? Hey, if you're a girl, have you ever noticed that you just don't think of the Redneck guys you know as being prime candidates for a serious relationship?

Is this because Redneck guys are more stupider or less intelligent than everyone else? Is it because they're not as capable as anyone else? No, it's because God hates us, or are we just Children of a Lesser God?

By the time you're done reading this, you'll know that The Curse of the Redneck Man is very real, very ironic, and is far-reaching. When you've finished, you will know that Redneck Men are actually the most Awesome guys around, but nobody knows that but a small few who can see past our mullets inside our minds. Sucks to be us, I guess.
I can sum up The Curse of the Redneck Man really quickly - no one wants us. Think about it. When was the last time you met a girl who had a "thing" for Redneck guys? Sure, I've heard girls say that they want a guy who is a good listener, maybe funny, maybe handsome, maybe strong, maybe a lot of things ... but when they're thinking of the man of their dreams, nine times out of ten it ain't a Redneck Guy they've got in mind. That doesn't make any sense. I don't think girls hate us. I just think for a lot of women, it doesn't even occur to them to put us in the "dateable" category. We're nice to talk to, we can help them with their homework - heck, we might even be fun to be with, but I guess we're just not attractive enough. You know, men and women might be more similar than I thought.

This just shouldn't be. I mean, we're just as good as the next guy, right? Is it because we're short? That seems kind of shallow, don't you think? (note: if you ever want to piss off a girl, call her shallow; girls hate that)


You would think that at least our own women would appreciate us, but this simply isn't true. Most Redneck Girls, if it were left up to them, would rather go out with a Black Guy. They, of all people, should know how Awesome we really are, but they just don't. Yes, I know there are Redneck couples around (hey, I'm married to my mother, remember?), but I'm willing to say that those girls just didn't have much of a choice. You should see the attention those Black Guys get from the local girls here. It's sick.

Life is even harder for an American Born Texan like me. The few, precious, Redneck girls who have not yet sold out don't care for Texans because we're not in purebred enough. On the other hand, guys like me don't have the muscles or the balls and the ridiculous amount of body brain matter in our heads so we're not attractive to the sell-out, Negro-loving locals either. And yes, I am bitter about that.


I think what aggrevates me the most, is that no matter how you look at it, the Redneck Man loses, and for no good reason at all. The guys I see that women go for are all a dime a dozen, no matter what color they are. The Redneck guys who are a big hit with the ladies usually have to trade in their "Redneckness" just to get noticed (keep reading, more on that later). Even then, they're second-rate wannabe Black Guys and I can't say I'm not without a little bit of satisfaction when thinking on this notion. I'm going to end this portion of my article with a quote from Jeff Foxworthy, a great Redneck writer:

"If you think God looks a lot like Hank Williams, Jr., and heaven looks a lot like Daytona Beach, Florida, you might be a redneck."

Yeah, so those are the facts. That's the way life is. That's reality, nothing more, nothing less. Now I'm going to just start ranting bitterly and insult everyone. Let's begin by taking a look at the competition. I see a lot of Redneck Girls with Black Guys. Why is that? I hear a lot of Girls (Redneck, or otherwise) continually whining about not being able to find a "nice" guy. What the hell? Redneck Guys are the nicest freaking people on the planet (except for me, I guess). We treat our Jack Daniels with respect, we take care of our mothers - hell, we marry 'em! - we do not murder our wives for throwing out our Elvis 8-tracks!!!, we clean our rifles and eat all road kill, and we do all of this with a genuine smile on our faces. We all play an instrument (usually a banjo), we stay out of trouble, and we do what we're told. We won't beat you much, cheat on you often, or lie to you. That's not enough anymore?

Other girls claim they want a guy who has a "future" (like some don't?). Have they never seen a Redneck guy before? He's got pressure from his family coming out of his ears. Redneck parents don't sing lullabies to their kids - they make them memorize the NASCAR racing rules and tell them about the importance of money and the need to own a regional monopoly on things like fireworks stands. No one is more prepared for the working world. No one drinks harder, pisses farther, and strives for the heaviest belt buckles more than us. Redneck Guys are the ultimate in Awesome. We rule. But nobody seems to notice, not even our own people (guys and girls - keep reading).

OK, I have here indisputable evidence. If you somehow missed it, look above and you'll see my scientific chart showing what most Black Guys think about, what mostly preoccupies the mind. You know what the average American man is like ... and still girls choose Black Guys. Why? Look at them. They're goofy and uncoordinated. Have you ever seen a Black guy willing to climb a water tower to defend his sister's honor? No! Redneck guys are chivalrous and Black guys aren't! What do you ladies really want?

I've heard some bitter dudes who don't have girlfriends say that most girls won't admit it, but they are willing to put up with a guy who treats them badly and with no substance. They say that it is "cool" now for girls to buy into this wholesome, innocent, and sweet routine when, in reality, they are all shallow but just don't want to admit it. I'd like to believe this isn't true. Do nice guys finish last? Some of us sure as hell do. OK, I better stop here before I stab myself in the eye. And yes, I am bitter.

The ironic thing about this whole situation is that Redneck Guys actually Kick Ass. We're purebred, good marksmen, great smelling, innovative, goal-oriented, well-behaved, and we can turn a beer can collection into a tourist attraction!

Don't get me wrong, we have our fair shair of losers and jack asses. What makes matters worse is that there are plenty of Redneck guys who want to be black, giving props to rap artists and dying their hair black because they want to look like some alpha male Black guy. There are others who wear Fubu and call each other Niggaz (yeah, I said it; blow me) for no apparent reason. I've seen a bunch of websites with instructions on how to be a "cool" Redneck and honestly, most of these helpful hints ask us to borrow from Hip Hop culture or spend all of our energy fixing up cars and racing them. Yippee. These guys aren't real Rednecks. They're Redneck guys with an Identity Crisis. They've got it all wrong. They don't realize how Awesome they could really be. So while the rest of the world is finally catching on (buying stupid shirts with Redneck Writing on them and pretending to be cultured as they watch endless reruns of NASCAR races), these idiots are actually De-Rednecking themselves because they want to be cool. The situation is mind boggling: the whole world is trying to be Rednecks and they want out. I hate them.

OK, I finally have a conclusion: Girls are liars, plain and simple. They don't want just a "nice guy." Actually, girls don't really make any sense at all because even if they wanted a badass who could beat up everybody they should still find an Redneck guy (MULLET POWER, BABY!!!). The Curse of the Redneck Man is that no matter how Awesome we are, the world refuses to acknowledge it. We are, for the most part, unlucky in love for no good reason at all. Some of the most interesting guys I know with the best personalities and deepest insights have been looked over because, to most women, Redneck guys are just invisible.

Good post, LT.

Must have taken a lot of effort...why post it as an alt? You could have just presented it as a pretty classic parody, and probably to greater effect.

Look, we get it. You hate Warmachine with a passion that defies description.

Can you stick to the interesting, cogently argued, well-researched threads? Please?


Edit:

Addendum:

Make that a fucking hilarious parody. I'm crying. You should have taken credit for this one!

LOL. It had to have been insanely good to get even light kudos like that.

Sorry, I couldn't resist doing this thread.

I do cogently argued, well-researched threads and posts all the time... but ya see, WARMACHINE was one of the many peepz here who decided to take things "out of the ring" in response to it.

When they do that, I make parodies of 'em.

This was funny.

But I'm curious. How did I take things "out of the ring" exactly?

 

[Le Jacquelope]

You never got in the ring at all. You've NEVER even intended to debate anything with me. Like certain others all you do is flamewar. But I know how to handle that... as you can tell.

 

[Peregrinator]

LT, you're like two people...and earning kudos from me really isn't that much of a challenge. You get messaged about a lot, and I always say the same thing...I like reading your stuff except the ridiculous hyperbolic vitriol. Leave that shit behind, and you'd just be one person, a cordial and interesting one at that.

Why do you suppose you're so vengeful?

Why do you suppose you're so vengeful?

Because I tried cordial and interesting - the side of me that you seem to like - and a lot of people responded to that with death threats, racism, and all sorts of other nastiness.

And frankly I don't much care for someone who can't say something to my face and engages in PM backchannelling. I switched off my PMs because I was getting LOTS of backchannel messages that wrongly colored my opinion of people on here.

Here's what I'll do. I'll switch on cordial and interesting for a while. You sit and watch what happens. Ignore the PMs and watch what happens...

 

[Peregrinator]

You're just constantly spoiling. I recognize that it's not just you, btw; there's been plenty of your threads, or even ones you just posted on, which have been derailed by your fan club. I'm not taking sides; I just wasn't here for the start of it all.

Btw, the mesaging I referred to was in response to people asking me who I liked reading on the boards. You're usually on the list. So are a lot of the other controversial regulars. I'm not trying to make a big deall of this, just wondering why anyone bothers with all the venom, when you could just have conversations and flirt.

This thread shouldn't make anyone angry, for example, except maybe the original poster you're parodying, and he already got called a lot of names, most of the time in a considerably less amusing and thoughtful style.

I'm looking forward to your experiment.

Edit: Change "spoiling" to "spoiling for a fight."

 

[phrodeau]

I can tell you that LT has done some really shitty things on this board, and he doesn't deserve kudos of any flavor.

 

[Peregrinator]

Hi, short and hairy. I know you're one of the ones who dislikes him; that was a no-brainer, but why perpetuate it? It just seems gratuitous at this point. I'm not defending whatever it is he did, and it doesn't matter who started it, but it almost seems like a hobby for some folks to attack him whenever he's around. Are you passionate about anything else?

I used to work in residential treatment with kids. I hated one of these kids; he pushed all my buttons, all the time. I was saying something about him once--truth, I was probably bitching--and one of my closest friends and most respected colleagues said, "He really owns you, huh?"

I hated hearing it, but you know? That kid owned me.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

I might regret this but for now I'm putting Peregrinator in the impartial judge category.

I don't like to be so short about it but after reading everything the math all works out that way. I'm sure that's a more palatable read than 40 lines of blah blah blah, eh?

 

[bg23]

You never got in the ring at all. You've NEVER even intended to debate anything with me. Like certain others all you do is flamewar. But I know how to handle that... as you can tell.

Sure. By that clever impersonation thing you do. Real big and manly of you, LT.

FYI, I've never, up until now, met the nice and cordial side of you. You never seem to notice that I don't flame people who are generally civilised. You weren't. You were goading and arrogant and insulting. I don't flame people unless they insult me in some way. You insulted me. You asked for it. I'll say one thing - it wasn't very mature of me, either. But I was new...I didn't quite know how things went. You don't have that excuse.

It is, I think, somewhat bad luck that I had to meet you while you were being an ass because I'm fairly certain I would have liked you, otherwise. As it is, I don't think that's possible, anymore. At least you opened my eyes as to how truly awful some people can be. I never knew until I met you.

 

[MissTaken]

Thanks for the laugh.

A classic parody thread....

ROTFLMAO

I never knew how truly awful some people could be until I came here.

As for who insulted who first, look back to your first exchange with me. It was certainly you.

I never initiate fights with anyone. Everyone you see me in a flame war with, came looking for it in the beginning. In your case I can very quickly prove that as it was quite recent.

But I'll tell ya one woman who gave me hell a lot better than you, her name was love2teaseu. Now there's a lady with class. She and I backed off and we're like cool and all that. Even though she's a right winger.

Ok well it's also because she's the most anti misandrist woman on Lit, too.

Sorry, but if you're going to start a thread insulting the entire general board, you're going to step on toes. Your arrogance got to me. Your verbose claims that you had "destroyed everyone on the GB" challenged my vanity. If you're going to say things like, "You know what's so sad? You have to invent a husband just to validate yourself. But on the GB that's probably normal behavior," and "I come to the GB to take pot shots at the freak show, that's all." not to mention "GBers are cowards who have big mouths and zero cojones," as well as all that other crap, you're the one starting the fight. I was no more insulting than you were. You wanted the fight, so give me that, "I never start fights" bullshit. You've started more insulting threads than anyone I know on the GB.

But I'll tell ya one woman who gave me hell a lot better than you, her name was love2teaseu. Now there's a lady with class. She and I backed off and we're like cool and all that. Even though she's a right winger.

I agree. Love2teaseu is classy.

All this is, in any case, irrelevant. The point here is that we were in engaged in a flame-war. I did not, "step outside the ring". Flaming is flaming, period. I did not go any further than you did. The worst of what I said was easily matched by the worst of what you said. Evidently you felt that what you were doing was not enough. You had to sink of "parodying" me. I didn't even know people did things like that. I was hysterical for awhile, but I got over it. But then you had to go further, didn't you? You actually had to pretend to be me and claim that I plagiarised my stories. You posted fraudulent public comments on my stories, masquerading as me and claiming that "I" had stolen them. You one-bombed my stories. And then you had the nerve to brag about it. I know what you're going to say to this. You're going to say, "Owned! Boo hoo!" Etc, etc. But you cannot deny that that was pretty low. That was what made me lose respect for you. Believe it or not, as a flamer, I had a hefty amount of respect for your insulting ability. You really didn't have to resort to that sort of underhanded, sneaky behaviour.

I said something in my first few encounters with you that I will say again.

"In any case, I stand by what I say. It is demonstrative of an extremely petty character that will actually glory in someone else's pain. There is a term for that. It is called a sadist.

Are you a sadist?"

You never answered my question, you know.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Do not confuse "start" for "continue". That's all I have to say to that.

Now lemme say it like this.
I've had my stories one-bombed because of disagreements on the GB.

I've had people demand I post my home address so they could come kill me for my opposition to the Draft.

I've been attacked with racial slurs, people making alts of me, accused of things I never did or say, and so on.

It was after all of that when I started striking back.

I do a lot of things to people that they thought was funny when it happened to me first - one bombing stories, alts, everything but gender and racial slurs. I don't do bigotry. Although many have accused me of it without even the slightest shred of proof. I admit I behave like a sadist... but I behave that way to what you will find time and time again is nothing but a group of internet wanna-be sadists.

The GB has done some eyepoppingly horrible shit and laughed about it afterwards.


Now lemme explain rule #1 of the GB ... you never cry foul. "XXX did YYY to me" is a clear invitation for someone to accuse you of whining. I learned that the hard way, and I've been applying it to the chagrin of many ever since. But I'll ixnay with the "boo hoo" wisecracks because you're doing the internet equivalent of negotiating. I'm always game to negotiate.

Now about some of that horrible shit I was talking about. Aside from the death threats hurled daily (hell, see my .sig for some) at people like me and PPman, there's shit like this:

Requesting the removal of Native Alien from Mod position - That, or she's to be stripped, flayed, and anally raped by me before a group of her peers.

A LOT of people fled Lit because of that post - especially rape victims.

People hurl death threats at p_p_man and he's never threatened anyone. They just hate what he has to say, and thus no one gives a shit if someone loses their gourd at him. I cannot overemphasize this: if BlueEyesInLevis weren't a right wing nutcase, the GB would have torn him a new one for that remark. Most sane people see that behavior as insane. But not the GB. See why I get sadistic on people?

Now who's the real monsters around here?

Bah, why do I feel like I just wasted a LOT of bandwidth......

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Bah, bandwidth schmandwidth

The top 2 things that piss me off about the GB and which drive me to insatiable sadism on this board:

a) the way the GB called for a woman to be skinned alive and anally raped because she redirected some GBer posts from the Playground and they didn't like it.

b) the way many women on the GB flamed me for my opposition to the military draft. Mind you they've never served and they'll never be drafted, so one has to wonder why they're demanding all the men to go die overseas when they themselves have done absolutely nothing but pound out brave words on their keyboards. WTF, the stupid cowardly skanks

Hell I wish those draft supporting women were being beheaded and not the volunteers and civilians who actually are dying out there for those rich cowardly men in the White House. But then most draft supporters are chickenshits anyway...

Hi, short and hairy.

Sorry, and you were scolding us for gratuitous insults?

I know you're one of the ones who dislikes him; that was a no-brainer, but why perpetuate it?

I know! Lets start up a thread saying, "LT, let's be friends." That's sure to go down well.

It just seems gratuitous at this point.

Gratuitous it probably is. What do you propose we do? Shake hands and promise never to fight again?

I'm not defending whatever it is he did, and it doesn't matter who started it,

I should hope not.

but it almost seems like a hobby for some folks to attack him whenever he's around. Are you passionate about anything else?

Its true that some people will attack him even when he's being reasonable. But for the most part, sorry, but he's not. When he's being an ass, people generally react to that. This doesn't apply to just him. Anyone who's an ass on the GB will get shit for it. Phrodeau is not one of the people who just attacks him for kicks, although this totally happens, of course. LT could post something that equates to the cure for cancer, and because of his history with some people, he's going to get attacked for it. And after some of the stuff that he's done, I think he deserves it. I'm not sure whether I've done it myself...I probably would jump at any chance to insult LT - but I'd just like to point out that he jumps at every chance to insult me. I don't see why, if he refuses to do me the favour of common courtesty, I should do the same. Yeah yeah, that sinking to the same level thing. But I think we've gone beyond that. The point is, most people only attack him when he's being an ass. Phrodeau is one of them. Kindly get off his case.

I used to work in residential treatment with kids. I hated one of these kids; he pushed all my buttons, all the time. I was saying something about him once--truth, I was probably bitching--and one of my closest friends and most respected colleagues said, "He really owns you, huh?"

I hated hearing it, but you know? That kid owned me.

Please define what you mean by the term, "Own". The ability to push someone's buttons does not constitute "owning" them, by any means. Have you never hated anyone? Did they "own" you? I don't think so.

This attempt at peacemaking, Peregrinator, is highly commendable. I understand that you are merely trying to bring forth a somewhat more pleasant atmosphere for the GB. Its true that if we were all a little nicer to eachother, we could probably have a much more enjoyable time here. When I first started, I tried that too, you know. I just couldn't understand why people just couldn't be nice to eachother. I stuck my nose in and thought I'd defend the little guy, the one who everyone was picking on all the time, the one who, while he seemed to have done some pretty awful things, seemed quite okay now. At least he hadn't said or done anything too vicious lately, so he must have learnt his lesson. Surely he was not as bad as people made out? Maybe he was just misunderstood. He was really quite nice when you got to know him. So I interfered...not directly, you understand. Just said such holier than thou things as, "you petty people!" etc. "Why can't you forgive and forget?" and so forth. It wasn't until I realised that there was a whole history behind the stuff - serious history - that I learnt to mind my own business. People just don't appreciate interference in something you don't know anything about, no matter how well intentioned, how reasonable, how wise. You know what settled it though? The next day I came back and the little shit was doing exactly the same thing again.

See the point is, here, that you can mediate all you like. You can be as reasonable as you want. What you say makes sense. Its wise, and mature and all that. If we all accepted your advice, the world would be a nicer place. But people will always be the way they are. You can counsel a troll into being a normal citizen again, but there will always be more trolls. You can rid the drama of one phase, but there will always be more drama. This place isn't bad. The people here aren't bad. Its certainly not perfect. But its the bitchiness, as well as the fluffiness, that gives this place character.

The sooner you realise that, the sooner you'll stop resembling this guy

 

[Le Jacquelope]

Frankly speaking I think I will decline at the moment to be the one to scorch Peregrinator for trying to be a diplomat, thank you very much.

I can't say about the future but as I think P is being very reasonable, I'd just as soon be cool with that.

 

[bg23]

Do not confuse "start" for "continue". That's all I have to say to that.

Of course. But I'd just like to point out you did say, "I never start fights". I just don't think its possible that anyone who posts on the GB has never started a fight. We're all a bunch of drama-queens.

Now lemme say it like this.
I've had my stories one-bombed because of disagreements on the GB.

But does this justify you doing it to others? Its a little like saying that if someone punches you in the face because they don't like the way you look its okay for you to punch someone else in the face because you don't like the way they look.

I've had people demand I post my home address so they could come kill me for my opposition to the Draft.

That, I have to say, is fairly disgusting. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I've been attacked with racial slurs, people making alts of me, accused of things I never did or say, and so on.

It was after all of that when I started striking back.

That's all understandable. But it would be more understandable if you only retaliated to those who had done it to you first. If I one-bombed your stories, you bomb me back, fair enough. If I attacked you with racial slurs, you attack me with racial slurs, fair enough. If I made alts of you, you do the same, fair enough. I just felt a little ambushed.

I do a lot of things to people that they thought was funny when it happened to me first - one bombing stories, alts, everything but gender and racial slurs. I don't do bigotry. Although many have accused me of it without even the slightest shred of proof. I admit I behave like a sadist... but I behave that way to what you will find time and time again is nothing but a group of internet wanna-be sadists.

The GB has done some eyepoppingly horrible shit and laughed about it afterwards.

I know how you feel. The hypocrisy of this place can be sickening. But people, for the most part, are decent. Its just that the decency gets overriden by the shit...people remember the shit. They don't remember the decency.

Now lemme explain rule #1 of the GB ... you never cry foul. "XXX did YYY to me" is a clear invitation for someone to accuse you of whining. I learned that the hard way, and I've been applying it to the chagrin of many ever since. But I'll ixnay with the "boo hoo" wisecracks because you're doing the internet equivalent of negotiating. I'm always game to negotiate.

Shut up and take it. Got it.

Now about some of that horrible shit I was talking about. Aside from the death threats hurled daily (hell, see my .sig for some) at people like me and PPman, there's shit like this:

Requesting the removal of Native Alien from Mod position - That, or she's to be stripped, flayed, and anally raped by me before a group of her peers.

Good god. This must have been before my time. That's appalling. No, revolting. Was this an individual poster? Did the GB actually endorse it? Were they all mad???

A LOT of people fled Lit because of that post - especially rape victims.

I can imagine.

People hurl death threats at p_p_man and he's never threatened anyone. They just hate what he has to say, and thus no one gives a shit if someone loses their gourd at him. I cannot overemphasize this: if BlueEyesInLevis weren't a right wing nutcase, the GB would have torn him a new one for that remark. Most sane people see that behavior as insane. But not the GB. See why I get sadistic on people?

Yes, I do. I don't agree entirely with you, but I can certainly understand why you're so cynical. But I'm young. I still believe in inherent goodness in people. Never fear...it shall pass, soon enough.

Now who's the real monsters around here?

The funny thing about humanity is that you never know the depths of human character. The best and the worst of people are levels that you never dream of.

Bah, why do I feel like I just wasted a LOT of bandwidth......

Bah, bandwidth schmandwidth

I am, I'm afraid, computer illiterate. What do you mean by this?

The top 2 things that piss me off about the GB and which drive me to insatiable sadism on this board:

a) the way the GB called for a woman to be skinned alive and anally raped because she redirected some GBer posts from the Playground and they didn't like it.

That's quite petty. She was a moderator, right? She was just doing her job.

b) the way many women on the GB flamed me for my opposition to the military draft. Mind you they've never served and they'll never be drafted, so one has to wonder why they're demanding all the men to go die overseas when they themselves have done absolutely nothing but pound out brave words on their keyboards. WTF, the stupid cowardly skanks

Holding an opinion on the draft is one thing, but to flame you for having your own opinion is just low. I would like to start a thread, as an experiment, stating that I oppose the draft myself. This would, I think, be a good indicator of what people are really like...

Hell I wish those draft supporting women were being beheaded and not the volunteers and civilians who actually are dying out there for those rich cowardly men in the White House. But then most draft supporters are chickenshits anyway...

I would not go so far as to say this. I don't think anyone deserves to die so horribly - or to die at all. Draft supporting women are entitled to their opinion - it is only because they questioned your right to your opinion that they are wrong. I would not wish death on them, but I would like to see them in a position where they themselves could be drafted.

originally posted by LovingTongueFrankly speaking I think I will decline at the moment to be the one to scorch Peregrinator for trying to be a diplomat, thank you very much.

I can't say about the future but as I think P is being very reasonable, I'd just as soon be cool with that.

I'd just like to point out that I'm not scorching him. I'm merely pointing out that, while I won't bite his head off for doing it, and neither will you - that is to say, I won't tell him to fuck off and mind his own business - others may not be quite so appreciative of his good intentions.

P is being very reasonable, of course. He's always reasonable. He's great, and we're friends, so don't get the wrong idea. I am not setting out to flame him. This may also have been a mild rebuke...but that's quite beside the point...

A waste of bandwidth is something that ties up the transmission line because of the size and worthlessness of the information. For a good example, open this link. It's a LovingTongue post. It might take a while.

I never read of anyone attacking LT for opposing the draft. I saw posters attacking him for threatening to slaughter anyone who tried to enforce a draft. There's a vast difference between those viewpoints.

Hi. I just read the last few posts here, the exchange between LT and BG. I appreciate the feedback, the compliments.

"Short and hairy," btw, was simply a playful ref to the name "Phrodeau." No insult was intended.

LT, I'll keep striving for impartiality. BG, I appreciate the benefit of your experience. I'm not really trying to make peace here; I'm not entirely certain that I have a purpose, and that is a helpful epiphany. I'll have to think about that and clarify it myself.

In the meantime, I'm glad you both see me as a friendly presence.
