It kind of started when someone on one of the networks referred to “FreepRublic that website run by that Jim Thompson guy” getting Jim Robinson’s name wrong while trying to appear “in-the-know.”
So with B-Chan’s stirring call for all of us to take the position like the movie and say, “ I am Spartacus” using the Thompson name. Then to prove how virile Jim Thompson was someone came up with the picture that “TheOldLady” uses at post#43 on that thread and when the name comes up we generally see that picture.
We occasionally tell Jim that he looks a lot like that guy but I don’t think he is buying it.
Best regards to the unreconstructed monarchist B-Chan where ever you are these days.
I posted on another thread in this same general vane a few minutes ago, you’re not the only one trying to get people to be civil.
Myself, I’ve always tried to do that, I never use any of the pet names for any of the candidates, I don’t think I’ve ever been insulting to anyone here or any other forum, that’s just the way I prefer to do things.
In some cases, I Just stay out of the discussion, rather then jumping in the mud with them if it looks like a bunch of 4th graders arguing over a sandlot baseball game.
A little off topic, I’m listening to primary results, Trump just did his press conference, one of the first things he did was congratulate Cruz for his wins. Once again he shows class. I haven’t seen anyone else do that, unless I missed it when Cruz was speaking.
Both have their faults, but I’ll vote for either one to keep Hillary out of the White House. Hell, I’d vote for anybody not named Jeb or Marco...I just can’t stand either of those two...
