    I can't drink. Ever. Enjoy though. If you don't know why, you can ask around what I do when I drink. It ain't pretty. I turn into a complete savage. We can do without him.

    Gunny. I know exactly what you are talking about. My problem wasn't becoming a savage. My problem was NOT knowing when to stop drinking. Now, it's more fun watching other people make complete fools of themselves.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    Speak of the devil ... yeah. that's the elephant in the room. It ain't about when. I DON'T stop of my own accord. My body usually starts shutting down on me and I have no choice. In the meantime, that shit's cost me a LOT. And if there's anything I hate more in this world, you'll be hard-pressed to find it.

    I CAN tell you this. ANY doctor that prescribes someone he KNOWS is alcoholic paxil is a moron. That shit made me insane. Don't remember a minute of it.

    I used to laugh at the fools on the boards. Until I figured out I was just the head fool in charge.

    It ain't worth your soul, dude. Take that for what it's worth.

    Gunny. I've been a dry/recovering alcoholic for almost 31 years now. Take that for what I know it has been worth. I'm still alive. Loving my wife of 45 years who stuck with me. Two grown Military son's, and SIX Wonderful Grandchildren who make every day worth Living.

    Like smoking, which I had to quit after my heart attack. I had to quit drinking because I literally, couldn't afford it, and what it was doing to my life.

    There are more people here that understand than you might think. I've been ashamed of myself for doing the wrong thing. NEVER for being weak. I have a weakness. Big deal. The people that usually want to pick at us don't have a damned clue and they're trying to prop their weak little asses up by putting us down.

    I'm still as good once as I ever was ....

    Not that it'd make any difference, in my case. I call it as I see it, and I've posted at length on Logroller's tactics already, 'elsewhere'.

    I think the one point I want to emphasise is that, regardless of precisely how it looks, Logroller is posting, to a great extent, according to a pattern I've found familiar over the years ... it's far more 'formulaic' than it looks. Left wingers will use truth and solid substance to their arguments when it suits them, and will recognise it, WHEN IT SUITS THEIR AGENDA. But when it doesn't, they'll use whatever diversionary tactic they can think of to win out, part of the object being to consolidate thoughts, opinions, gut reactions in people, any way they can to force the result they want.

    Logroller faced statements of fact he couldn't directly refute. BUT, those statements fell outside of anything his brand of politics could ever take on board. As he couldn't defy his opposition through direct and substantial means, so it was that all which followed was pitched on a more emotive level, instead, in a way meant to condition the reactions he wanted others to identify with.

    It's 'good' tactics ... IF you aren't constrained by fairness or decency. And if you're intent on leading others by the nose.

    Unfortunately for Logroller, Conservatives are better than that .... WAY better. So he's been called out on it.

    There are no lengths a Left winger won't stoop to in order to win out. None at all. This is the truth of it, Tyr.

    Conservative reputability v Leftie gutter behaviour. No prizes for guessing which must triumph.

    I agree. And often no length to the level of low, contemptible behavior
    some people will stoop to trying the defeat the truth and an opposition that presents it to counter their blather!

    Case in point , the attack upon myself(by logroller) using insults about my family! Neither my mother nor my wife are to be subjects insultingly used in heated debates as they are not here to defend themselves nor should they have to be. A major board Rule was broken and that by a former Mod!
    Yet I have never insulted any member's family here at this site or anywhere else. For Jim's "family is off limit rule" has been my rule my entire life.
    I always refused to "join in" when attacked that way. Now , when it was in person, face to face I just stomped ass and settled it once and for all but here the internet such cowards operate behind computer screens and from safe distances .
    Only good thing from this incident is that somebody's true colors came to light!!
    I gave him three separate major restarts after each attack he launched upon me over these three years but no damn more! For he crossed a no return line with this last one.
    Punk better hope he can skulk away and not have to face up to the much needed attitude adjustment. I don't play and especially don't when it is about my family. I have a very long record of giving major attitude adjustments involving those that deliver such insults using my family to do so!!!!!!!!

    It's a rare Left Winger, in my experience, who GENUINELY has decency as his or her guide. Many try to copy it, for effect, and some have the gall to claim it for themselves. But to peddle what they do, and to have no conscience about it, tells its own story. Socialism doesn't respect the individual, so, why would any loyal follower of it ?

    Logroller is simply an example of that. He was unconstrained by a basic standard of decency which should've told him that attacks against a person's family wasn't remotely acceptable.

    He does indeed need an attitude adjustment, and badly. And I don't care how it's managed.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Gunny again.

    This might get me stabbed in the dark hours of the morning...

    If you look at the very bottom of every page in every thread, it shows who has read the thread thus far. Invisible rules apply, so you won't see those who are invisible. Staff members obviously can see all visitors. Anyway, Log doesn't have his account set to invisible anyway. The point I'm making - he hasn't even read this thread. It's possible he has read it as a guest, but logged in he has not entered this thread. A lot of people follow the board by the recent posts at the top of the board, or from the new posts option, and sometimes from the activity stream option - but the cage won't show up in any of them. The only way to see now posts in here is to manually check.

    First let me say one thing. If Logroller went out of his way to make a direct statement towards Tyr's mother, there is no way to defend that. The reason that this didn't reach the level of a banning? I honestly don't know the intent, and he has no history of anything even remotely close to that. I was hoping he would follow up after I made my post in that thread. It could have been a lame joke, but even lame jokes about family are lame and unacceptable. A lot of people use 'old lady' to refer to another persons wife. If that were the case, still unacceptable whether joking or not, but just to a different person. Was it said in a 'jest' manner, with no direction, just a "get your slippers from your momma" with no thought of the person used within the joke, but directed at the member here? Possible of course. But like I said earlier, we have to be careful when joking, as sometimes we may mean something one way, and it comes off another. When 2 people don't like one another, obviously some 'jokes' come off differently and take a more serious meaning. I can't find any ways to defend his joke. It was wrong, no matter the seriousness level. I was hoping he would explain and give an apology on the momma part. No matter how it was meant, it hurt the person receiving it, and that alone makes the apology a "right thing to do" moment. I don't want anyone to mistake that I am in any way supporting him in this back and forth.

    With that said...

    I personally like Logroller a lot, always have, and I think he's much smarter than he leads on here at times. This is NOT about his stances. I disagree with him vehemently on things like Islam, fucking with the police solely to record, war on terrorism issues...

    You can be a friend with someone and still despise some of their stances.

    I just hate to see someone I was friends with for so long feel he has to leave the board. There are always ways to fix issues without having to leave. Address the issue with Tyr, then one can use the ignore feature. I know a handful of you will disagree with me on this issue, but that's cool with me, I fully understand. I have friends "in the real world" where other friends don't get it. But their issues are between them, and mine are mine.

    I disagree with Log and what transpired in that thread. I disagree with him on quite a few stances that many others amongst us agree on. I acknowledge that there are mutual beefs with him and other members here. I'm just saying that "I" like Logroller and will miss him if he doesn't return. He was a friend. I don't like losing friends. I would say the same about his enemies in a heartbeat! This isn't taking sides.

    If you look at the very bottom of every page in every thread, it shows who has read the thread thus far. Invisible rules apply, so you won't see those who are invisible. Staff members obviously can see all visitors. Anyway, Log doesn't have his account set to invisible anyway. The point I'm making - he hasn't even read this thread. It's possible he has read it as a guest, but logged in he has not entered this thread. A lot of people follow the board by the recent posts at the top of the board, or from the new posts option, and sometimes from the activity stream option - but the cage won't show up in any of them. The only way to see now posts in here is to manually check.

    Jim , I have no problem with your post or how you handle
    this case. It is your board and you know I did not pm
    you making either a banning demand or a banning request.
    Your house, you make and enforce the rules. I do agree
    that an apology is owed to myself/my family but make no
    demand the he do so or that he leave.

    I will say this however, a real man would apologize and
    I would accept it. What he does is up him..

    Only person that has any right to be angry or not about
    how you choose to handle this case is myself and I think
    you have done alright by letting logroller choose to
    either stay or leave on his own.

    Understand this, I will not be trifled with by any man
    alive. I've lived a hard life and lived by hard rules.
    I've in my wild younger days severely damaged people for
    doing as was done but I try to be a better , much kinder
    man now!

    ALL here now should know this about me , I've told
    no lies about who I was, who I am now and what I can do.
    I prefer NOT going back to any of my old ways but do
    still have that the capability when greatly angered.

    Your post was ok with me my friend! --Tyr
    18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
