I'll raise a glass too, or at least a nice cuppa, milk and one sugar (level, not heaped) thanks.
I thought Yesferatu was a good poster, despite his over-emphasis on "no-plane at the Pentagon" (but frankly, who knows exactly what happened there, what with Rummy's "missile" slip o' the tongue, and the video release that was so unclear it muddied the waters even further). Its a shame he went, but he was a trifle aggressive.
Robert D Reed was another.
And remember Floyd Smoots? He was a hoot.
Has Rothbardian run off, chased away by hostility to his "fundamentalist Christian" style of "its all Satanists versus Jesus," conspiracy theory?
And remember Qutb?
Gosh, and so many others. Some go for a while and come back, of course, and how many lurk around still, reading? I've noticed stickdog* and did I see Isachar posting recently? I liked JD too.
But, you know, we don't have to all agree all the time to get along. Having said that, I like a little controversy, and, like Seamus, I enjoyed John E Nemo's recent posts, what with his "take on all comers" attitude. You'll notice of course, that I try and stay out of the worst flame wars, they are more enjoyable to watch from the sidelines. It's like being in the playground again, shouting "fight! fight! fight!" from the side. I guess I shouldn't say that, I'm being a trifle naughty.
It's a shame TKL was banned. Any chance of him coming back? I tried to read his blog again recently but saw that I now had to register, so I didn't bother.
And the recent behaviour of MP after his return I still find utterly perplexing. I must say, I sometimes wonder about the security of our accounts here, and whether there is a possibility of impersonation.
Of course, for all we know, some of these posters might return/have returned under a different alias. Thats internet anonymity for ya, a good thing in my book.
*and whats with this new poster taking the name "stackdag," is that some sort of reference to the poster "stickdog?"
