What happened to A+Bert? Banned forever? Worse? Was looking for enlightening comments on Israeli situation. Did search and comes up with no such user. Post response please. SOR

A+Bert is currently holded up in the Mukata complex in Ramallah. He may be meeting with Colon Bowell soon.

Figuring out how to avoid converting to Islam and still getting access to those 72 virgins they're promised.

I'm sorry, having struggled through many of A+Bert's posts, one would be hard pressed to call thme "enlightened" His views could be summarized as: "Israel is bad. Jews are biased. Shahids or homicide bombers are misunderstood, and America's support for that little democracy, Israel, that oasis of prosperity surrounded by a barren spiritual and cultural wasteland is misguided." Bert was banned because he couldn't disagree without being disagreeable. It's one thing to make a point, and quite another to threaten other posters.

"What Happened to A+Bert?"

Good question. . .

[LowOiL]

After getting several Freemails from that kook, I must admit I'm glad to see him gone. It is one thing to disagree, another to take it personal.

He had issues, but lacked clues.

[LarryM]

He was killed in the Jenin refugee camp with his Islamic Jihad cohorts.

[Diago]

I miss the guy. He was very entertaining.

[evad]

I'd rather know what happened to "quiddam".

[JZoback]

A+Bert was a old coot that would get boozed up and start howling at the moon.

Unfortunately, he did it while his fingers were on the key board posting at FR.

[AzJP]

A+Bert, quiddam, Rivero, couldn't stand the competition from the current crop of foul-mouthed Jerry Springer clones.

Others have moved on also. Moved on, or blog'd elsewhere.

Metamucil overdose!

[Sandy]

He posts as "Buckeroo" nowadays.

[Technocrat]

He's hanging out with BIFF.

A+Bert has returned to his native habitat. If you're interested, read below.

Data : Species : Mammal : A+bert Squirrel - Sciurus aberti

Physical Characteristics "Identification: Head and body 11-12in. (28-30cm); tail 8-9in. (20-23cm); wt. 1 1/2 - 2 lb. (681-908g). This is the most colorful of our tree squirrels. Tail either all-white or white beneath and broadly bordered with white; belly either white or black; prominent black, or blackish, ear tufts except late summer; sides gray; back redddish. Skull has 22 teeth. The only squirrel with these markings.

Some authors consider the squirrels north of the Grand Canyon (S. kaibabensis) as a distinct species; they have all-white tails."

"Diagnosis. A large, tassel-eared, bushy-tailed tree squirrel, dark gray in color with a whitish tail. More specifically, the dorsum is gray with a mid- dorsal rufous stripe, underparts white (except dark in S. a. kaibabensis), tufts or tassels present on ears in winter are black or brownish black; skull relatively short and broad...; length of nasals about equal to interorbital breadth; two upper premolars, but Pm3 does not fully erupt until animals are adult, dental formula

"Tassle-eared squirrels vary geographically in color in New Mexico. Those from the Jemez, San Juan, and Sangre de Cristo mountains have a very reduced ru fous dorsal stripe and in some cases none at all; as far as we have seen, they always have a white belly. Those from the Sandias and Mount Taylor southwa rd have a much expanded dorsal stripe, and on certain ranges many individuals are black-bellied."

Habitat "Yellow pine forests, 7000-8000ft. (2133-2590m) elevation."

"A+bert and Kaibab squirrels are highly dependent upon ponderosa pine: they live and nest in them; they feed on the bark, buds, flowers, and seeds; and th ey seek refuge and have escape routes from enemies here."

"These animals, commonly known as tassle-eared squirrels, are essentially confined to ponderosa forests, although in many New Mexican canyons where the sq uirels are common the forests may be categorized as mixed coniferous. The presence of the squirrels is often betrayed by the litter of clipped twigs of p onderosa pine on the ground under trees where the animals have been feeding."

All I know is that he was banned......... I miss him as well.

[Paulus Invictus]

Who cares?

What happened to A+Bert?

[Willie Green]

Ol' Bert finally nuked himself.
IMHO, he was set-up by those who enjoyed pushing his hot-buttons then whining about his response.
Just the same, he shoulda known better.
It's not as though he wasn't given a "second chance" more than once.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

A+Bert volunteered to be the American prisoner exchanged for Jonathan Pollard.

[rwfromkansas]

A+Bert is currently making out with Arafat.
