I do wish Dan8267 would come back.

Iwog: "I've never been wrong where I couldn't insult my way out of it!"

Dan: "I've got some Florida face eating cannibals for those who disagree."

Meh, Dan was to pro-buttsecks and argued in favor of trans logic for me.

At least he was consistent though.

I'd welcome either back though. Dan more likely, but Iwog as well if he would demonstrate a little more civility in conversation.

I like changing the Square to a Circle... the Sides of a square have a definition, and a value assigned to it... the circle has no "Side" with a value in terms of an edge to delineate. Now apply that to politics... I believe they want one Political value, so thus the circle... But to retort, Americans are the primary value, and thus the "Circle of Americans"... how about putting the circle in the square.. so all types are shown, but share the circle.
Many possibilities, depending on the spin.
I do remember Iwog..

I definitely came here much more frequently when they were around, and the diversity of thought and truth-seeking was more abundant.

I don’t remember why Dan went all homo drama queen and left. Same with duck man.

Duck's predictions about 2016 turned out to be utterly false. It was so bad he was trying to convince everybody that that "Free Trade" Globalist Deal was a good thing and that Hillary, who talked it up in Public scores of times, wasn't going to sign off on it. Even though there was an Email from Podesta bitching that she wasn't appearing to distance herself from it during the election.

Basically, TDS.

Probably Dan too.

He never went outside to settle some stuff with @TenPoundBass

Cognitive dissonance.

1. Couldn't goat asshole any more
2. Couldn't ad hominem any more

The limitations of civil discourse were too much for them.

Maybe the clot shot got them?

They seem like the type to get triple jabbed with each brand.

Nah. Iwog was captured and tied naked the the mast of an immense hirsute lesbian skiff, and they tortured his genitals with electrodes and stun guns until he succumbed and they threw him overboard.

When Georgie's shut down, Dan immolated himself in protest.

Right, they were degenerating into legally actionable threats against each other, so I had to make an explicit rule banning that.

I tried to even ban personal attacks instead of debating a point, but that was too nebulous to be enforced.

I think Dan8276 did have good will to his comments though, most of the time.

It was weird. They literally followed each other around to threads and then started the same old brawl over and over which would then dominate the whole thread and ruin it. I always wondered how this just went on and on in some kind of futile, space wasting, dirt rolling feud spectacle.

I'm glad that's over anyway.

The real hazard in online debate is getting into a personal feud instead of discussing the actual point of contention.

IWOG and Dan8276

It seems even a blog site has its James Bond villains.

I remember iwog got a DVT clot flying one time. I think that shit can kill you easily. He had a BMI well into the 30's, he was a walking clot never mind Vaxxx Jabs.

Somebody got in trouble for waving a gun around and making threats, who was that?

A walking clot? LOL

Somebody he was feuding with posted a photo of him standing outside his office. That was a dark time on PatNet.

Jesus. I hope those types are gone. It's also why I'm hesitant to say much about me that is identifiable. I try to be as vague as possible if I'm telling a story about me or my family or work. I like most users here currently, but I have no clue if someone is a crazy person.

I'd love to be able to exchange ideas more freely about business and stuff like that, but I'd immediately dox myself and anyone with a brain would be able to find me or my wife in minutes. Hells no. Her business is too unique and identifiable and she's also a leader in a massive organization. I never understood why iwog gave out his info on this site.

The guy supposedly from New Jersey. Callmecrazy? or Mr Magic as a different name? I think he called something in to the user in Arizona, Roberto or whatever that had house he rented out. Had a photo with his dog.

I'm younger I think than most here, but that's literally the story that made me rethink my online presence. It's something I'm teaching my kids. I fucking HATE that the school uses Chromebooks, but whatever. By the time I knew it could be a problem it was too late. Google is Sauron in LOTR in my mind. So I'm much more careful online than I used to be.

I think Iwog used to participate (heavily even) in the end of year / new year predictions. I've mentioned I miss those. Made for good airplane reading while traveling over the holidays - lots of people chimed in.

These days it would probably suck:

- financial collapse
- brown shirts
- civil war

Who'da thunk it could get that much worse than over priced crap shacks.
