Congratulations to Germany for a fine World Cup! :-)
For those sincerely interested in the world:
-
But he is still here, if he wanted to protest why wouldnt he just leave?
-
heheh…some people miss him already! And not the ones I would have guessed…
-
I’ll be honest… I think F_alk was given the bums rush out of here.
As I posted previously, I think that there has been a significant dispararity in how various folks have been treated on this list, and F_alk was one of the most significant vicitims.
Many of his posts were sanctioned, while others who were far more inflamatory were allowed to continue. I think this board suffered a significant loss by his removal, and all of us will be less because of it.
Disagreement, and an alternate view of world events is NOT a flame; and F_alks posts should not have been treated as if they were. Responding to an individual’s posts MANDATES that the responder specify the person who made the quote for clarity. Such a specification is NOT a personal attack or flame. The fact that many of F_alks posts were apparently taken as such speaks poorly of those of us who remain.

but see, this is the point. lately, Falk has been responding to posts like this (which were not directed at a board member) , which show ignorant and offensive opinions, yes, but also just an alternate view of world events. meanwhile, falk would make a point of responding directly to these posts (and to the person who posted them) with flames and personal attacks. I dont think falk was treated unfairly. I think he got himself worked up about something, and his ire blinded him. its unfortunate. like i said, i respected his old posts. he used to make substantive points, and do it well. but lately, his posts seemed just to be directed responses to posts he took offense too. then he deletes his account out of protest. fine. if he wants to do so, ok. no one was chasing him out of here, and no one was treating him unfairly. he did it all himself.

and his ire blinded him
Thats basically the “thing” about him… Everything he did was turn things into another SHP style personal attack mode, where his latent anger provoked many negative feelings against him. He “undid” himself in nearly every post and unraveled his positions into continious personal problems with everybody except CC. That alliance on the other hand was never broken by any position as if he NEEDED some ally who would be favorable to his taunts.Sometimes we all need that comforting blue blanket at night. I hope he finds peace…

Not true.
You missed many of our earlier discussions on religion.
Those were the good old days . . . F_alk, FinsterniS and CC had a few nasty battles then . . . . -
Yea and your best friend Sex harrasment panda… im sure you had a few good battles with him… that guy and F_alk were basically of the same mold.
-
Well F_alk, I think you’re making a big mistake by leaving. I am not able to personal message you on this, but I think the forum will miss you a lot.
Hell, even if you do go, we had some good times arguing on the issues that mattered.
-
bows
welcome back, oh great leader . . . -
:-o
Holy Moly! TG Moses!!!
-
Thats a poster who I did not expect to see :)
-
TG! a great day has arrived gentlemen and ladies…
-
no, I’m not back yet. Not in any official capacity at least. I just didn’t want to see an old comrade go.
But don’t let my presence sidetrack you from the real issue at hand. I’ll be back in my own good time, but I’m not sure someone else will.
It’s nice to know some of you old folks still remember me; I’ll return soon. ;)
-
Yea i have never seen you post but i hear your legendary… I wish you can come back to the fold…Jordan came back…so can you!
-
wow, I remember Moses from back in the day. :-)
