Another uncharacteristic and unfair comment from you rustbucket. I haven't been on the WBTS threads as long as you - or gopc or non-seq - but I have gone back and reviewed many of the threads and a couple of things stand out. One, I don't recall non sequitur ever slandering you or offering a gratuitousness insult. Perhaps there was something but I never saw it.
As for gopc, I don't recall that he ever gave you the time of day. How could he? He was consumed with the "sound" of his own voice. My read of the threads reveals him to be a whiny b*tch who may be an ardent arguer but, like Øbozo, didn't cotton well to anyone disagreeing with him.
YMMV

Who knows what happened to old non-seq? He’s probably running a copy machine for others and getting coffee for the professionals at an IT company.
Cheap shot about somebody who served his country. I'd never make such a jibe about standwatie or anybody else who served honorably in whatever capacity.
Another uncharacteristic and unfair comment from you rustbucket.
Unfair, sure, but uncharacteristic?
True. I remember he said "Southron myth machine" once (but can't find) after I posted a Southern newspaper account of the damage caused by Sherman's troops. I hope he was talking about the newspaper and not me.
He kept up with the theme that damage caused by Sherman's troops was exagerated. I finally posted 15 or 20 communications by Sherman and his generals in the Official Records that acknowledged the damage. At least he stopped postng his claim, but I don't think he ever acknowledged his error.
I think non-seq is back on FR under another name which is why I posted the taunt above. Some are unhappy about him being back, but I don't mind. I have posted before that I respect non-seq in that he will usually acknowlege error and will sometimes provide useful history. I still feel that way.
I admit to poking fun at non-seq on occasion. For example:
Somebody on the other side please come collect non-sequitur -- he's been wounded on the field of battle. Either that or he's been drinking again. [this after three consecutive factual errors by non-seq in as many posts]
I've commented before about his posting style, aspects of which I dislike. Here are a couple of comments about that that I made.
Probably I should use one of your posting techniques and assert that he did, then say it's up to you to disprove it.
What are you doing, non-seq? Trying to post to the lurkers in hopes they don't know you've been refuted on the point before? [navigation of the Mississippi]
