This thread apparently got locked earlier today for a while. It is getting attention again.
Your radioactive buddy is right about one thing - he wasn't around. He hid. I'm also glad to read that he thinks Jim Robinson had "absurd reasons" for bouncing the neo-reb racists.
And there goes another capitan-ism.
Enlighten us, california-boy... what race is nolu chan?
For the life of me, I can't figure out why slurs like that are allowed to go unchecked from you, Espinola, mac, Partisan, and "the gang." You and your buddies spend more time bashing Americans and conservatives than the exiled brigade commander could have dreamed.
There is a growing rift in the Republican party between the religious and small-government conservatives and the "power at any cost so long as we're in charge" folks. You, Partisan, and Espinola are pounding at that wedge with a sledgehammer with every accusation of racism, every time you slur us as rednecks, every time you take a verbal dump on our confederate grandfathers.
If you'd like to discuss the war, the politics, or the politicians, that would be great. These threads used to be at least semi-civilized, and at one time were a great place for people to learn new 'stuff' about the war, the players, and our shared history. Since the arrival of you and Espinola, all of the reasoned Unionists have abandoned them, save Non-Sequitur, who still drops in from time to time. I used to like coming to the WBTS threads, picking up on whatever the hot topic was, and doing some outside reading to get up to speed or learn the unbiased truth. It's been months since that's happened, and nowadays when I click on the thread title, I expect to find nothing useful in the flamewar.
You remind me of Peter Lorre's character in Casablanca.
Or that stupid Phil Spector/gal-group classic, "My Boyfriend's Back".
"My daddy is really gonna whup you!!" -- fehhhh.
