I had Harvey suspended until January 1st, 3017. I am going to assume that was a typo rather than a rational response to anything Harvey did. Harvey is back.

That indicates to me Harvey is actually from The Montauk Project... and helped John Titor with 31st cent tech. "Harvey" may never have left....Wombaticus Rex » Sat Feb 04, 2017 12:47 am wrote:I had Harvey suspended until January 1st, 3017.

User "scottogle" has been banned for posting personal information in his weird personal jihad of a thread. I had rather stopped paying attention to Mr. Ogle, but he's been busy. I will be taking the additional step of deleting his thread because while I can take the time to scan the rest of it for problematic content, I won't.

Nobel cause he fights for, but this was not the first he's posted personal information, so good call. I had been wondering about him just the other day, too. It's a shame he's unable to better organize and grow more attention to his cause. Thanks for letting us know his thread will be disappeared and of his banning.

So, WR, you asked me on the made-up scandal thread for an example of mouthpieces for fascism. Here's one I remember. Oh, and just for the lulz, this came in a thread started by a neo-Trumpet and hilariously entitled "What Should the Left Do Now?"

Or perhaps I'm the mouthpiece, because of my response? It's true that my parody is not a 1-to-1 send up, after all, he had not mentioned Soros in that particular post.

JR, you care too much about the wrong things. I could have spent weeks trying to convince people that Michael Moore might not be the combination of Che Guevera and Ken Burns they think he is. To what use? We know your not afraid of a challenge. But choose wisely.

Those are all great (not to mention Classically Liberal) ideas.
Thanks for the reminder, Jack!
