Thanks for putting this up. I had the same thought, as you probably know.

Would love to see Hugh back.

I can't seemingly vote in this poll either . Invalid form and all.

Yes. Hugh should be allowed back on a limited basis. I'd suggest access to the Psyops and Meme Management subforum only as a start, if that is technically doable. Nobody fucking reads the subforums anyway. What could be the harm?

probably.

will it happen?

probably not.

bph's ideas. OP ED likes.

I enjoyed reading his posts. I never understood what he did to get banned. But I am not here much.

Th big winner in the CW rumble is HMW

Wow, I guess this is Bizarro world R.I.
While I was composing a history lesson on regarding "you know who" that got perma banned 2X I referenced HMW a few times as an example of someone who was permabanned and there was no measure put on the ballot. But I see that now there is.

Methinks time for me to fade back into my self imposed seclusion. Please send me a telegram when the madness has passed.

I wouldn't trip if I were you, brekin. I think this is more or less a parody thread. Hugh will never be back.

The thing about the massive water mammal is this: since leaving RI there has never been see a single trace of him on the web in any other incarnation. His writing is so idiosyncratic someone would have surely found him by now if he was out there. Which leads me to suspect he was entirely a creation of this forum, couldn't exist without this ecosystem, a fictional character. A pretty great fictional character, but a creation nonetheless.

HMW was at DU since 2002 before coming here he had a different name and was not as "vocal" as he was here...but I have known him since 2002 and he was a friend there

He's not dead, is he?

This will be the last time I ever reply to you but I do want to say and I am sure you probably won't agree with it but all the stuff you've been going through is not specific to you many people here have been through much the same situation you have and actually you have been on the other end of the stick...it seems you can dish it out but you can't take it....so I think you should just get down off your high horse quit the pity party and forget about it....move on...like the rest of us have..... and just start posting again.....and if you'd like to avoid shit like this happening to you again maybe it would be a good idea to forget about the David Icke crap and searching for anti-semites under every rock here


oh and where is our fearless leader AD who started all of this? SKATIN'....

slad I'm just taking a break from the drama, I've continually been on both sides of the stick from the beginning as everyone else on this forum has been. No one here is at a disadvantage intellectually or clique wise as far as I can tell. Some people take offense at their holy of holies being challenged, and I think that is a shame. If we aren't here to hold our sweet illusions up to be examined I don't see much progress going to happen. I use to be a big fan of Orwell and Koestler and over time learned some disturbing things about both. I can dig in and block out or I can be open to learning something deeper about human experience. And from the beginning I always thought it was a good idea to forget about Icke, but it seemed some people thought he was worth remembering. Those threads would have fizzled with just me and AD and a handful of others posting if their wasn't someone playing defense. As far as anti-semites (for the final time) I never thought anyone posting regularly held overtly anti-Semitic views, just that they may be supporting a world view that covertly did so. That may make me at the most a little conceptual condescending but hardly alarmist or accusatory. So, so long and thanks for the fish, but geez, just let me ride off on my high horse to get some rest.
