So long, Randy Larsen (Posting History) and Randy2u (Posting History - deleted)

Hat Tip to Bikkuri and 50mm

Long-time FReeper uses up three accounts being combative, insulting, and threatening enough to get a hot boot off the site




Maybe suspended?


Thank you JoeProBono

FReepmail TheOldLady to get ON or OFF the ZOT LIGHTNING ping list.

Yikes....poor Yoric...er Randy...I knew him well....

[reaganaut]

First Zot of 2012 to boot!

[luvie]

Yikes! Alas poor Yorik...er Randy...I knew him well!

[Godzilla]

Stuck on stupid eh?

Such an easy one.

[Bikkuri]

Thank you ;)

And Happy New Year to you and your family and friends :)

Be safe. I was in the Pashtun/Dari Farsi region a few years ago. Speak Farsi and Dari (80% similar then it stops abruptly, specially accent).

Funny how our talking heads idiotically say that Iran cannot block the Straits of Hormoz, when all it takes is to sink a couple of rust buckets by opening their bilges or our navy to sink a couple of Iranian ships in the narrow channel and oil tanker traffic stops. Right then and there. Till we can remove the wrecks! Not so easy for us, simple for them.

Stay well,

[TheOldLady]

I don't know about 50mm or Darks, but for me, midnight PST is 3 a.m., and I'll be sleeping like a stone.   ;-)

LOL

[TheOldLady]

A few people were saying that they knew him from the FReeper Canteen! Weird posts from such a person.

[TheOldLady]

Weird and too bad, but necessary zot, I’d say. Great photo of you, too.

I’ve said forever that Perry best reflects our beliefs in theory and in action. They are painting him as a rube ....

Just the opposite -- he is too much an operator, telling people things they want to hear, and then going off and governing like a business-wing RiNO. Including catering for the OBL, which when you say that elicits screams of indignation from the Perrywinkles -- because it's true!

[lentulusgracchus]

I am concerned about Perry being more of an “establishment” type like Dubya, whose failure to clean up after the Clinton cartel’s crimes left us with evil scum

---

That was noticed at the time and explained away as a keen desire by the incoming Bush Administration to get the limelight off Clinton and onto their own agenda.

It was noted in passing that Clinton had an ace ability to get and hold the headlines (with the help of his media whoredolaters), and the thought was, a cleanout of Clintonistas and prosecution of their crimes would allow Clinton to tie the Administration in knots with political stunts and postures, neutralizing Bush.

Republican RiNO reasoning .... Bush should have just appointed a special prosecutor and let 'er rip. Let Ken Starr pursue Clinton crimes wherever opportunity presented. (One theory was that Clinton would be able to beat any charge by just singing a few verses of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" to the inevitable DC jury of 12 blacks.)

[luvie]

Yes, that’s where I knew him and he even went on a trip with
some of us a couple of years ago. Kind of a loose cannon but
never thought it would end like this. Too bad....he’s a vet, too. :(

Randy burned TWO 98 signup handles last night.

I noticed some recent signups on this thread too. Wonder if he already is back on the board...

Now you’re beyond me with the Undead Thread stuff. But a decent IP tracker should help toward minimizing retread troll activity.

For people like me who only boot from home it’s a slam-dunk. People who move about are harder to track of course, but even then, many are habitual in their places of hookup. And cell phones are another issue, a big one I’d expect. I don’t know how that would fit into the equation. Still, it’s a tool that can be beneficial in many cases. I wish you luck.

[bcsco]

That’s true, I’m sure. Yet many of us, myself included, don’t look at writing style as much as content. So these guys get missed by us rather easily. That’s why I enjoy being called to a zot thread. I’ve had a lot of fun lately...

[CAluvdubya]

I never had a problem with Randy, (but I never interacted with him much) but he may have pulled something similar to what got pissant (deservedly) zotted.

Yep, that's who I had in mind as well.

Happy New Year to you, too, Allegra! Hope it's a good one!

I use dialup as a backup for when my DSL goes out.

I think you're just nostalgic for the sound of dialup... :D
