I recall her sport was to try to get folks banned. She and her crew seemed to get a real kick out of that.
There’s a difference between not speaking ill of the dead and trying to re-write history.
Seems to me that her and her “clan” were great informed posters, then when quite a lot of new people came at once- if they didn’t agree with what they had to say they would swarm them like bees and try to get them banned.
When I first got here the whole group of them seemed decent and knowledgeable but they sure couldn’t handle people saying what they didn’t want to hear and began to act like it was their job to run people off.
I saw both sides of Howlin and a few more. I miss the Howlin that was here when I first started lurking. I don’t miss the Howlin that left. I hope they all found peace after they left and found a home somewhere else on the internet.
Yes you are right

Nearly every freeper who pushed back hard on that thread ended up zotted
And nearly all those pushing for it and sucking up to the bossman eventually left over Giuliani
Or over Trump
I never really figured it out
The Howlin and Dane and bayourod and hchutch etc posse back then cited several reasons for enforcing the Bush idea of path to citizenship
1) we were racist to oppose it
2) it was a cardinal sin to oppose Bush....hard to believe now isn’t it
3) opposition was about vigilantism on the border
4) the rah rah sychophants that agreed with anything the powers that be here said or they felt was implied period.....a massive suck up
That and the need to belong to the clique here used to be strong ...
Now how many millions have crossed illegally since then and settled here making a conservative electorate that much harder to obtain which illustrates exactly why the left wants borders open
To dilute the nation
One last point
There are literally 20,000 replies worth of threads on all that in the tumult here back then
I prefer not to study it much to be honest because you will find folks you know today saying nasty things then
Some folks here don’t have foundation
