You know it’s funny how this place works. Someone who drops in and reads what you posted would nod his head and presume I am a big time dbag. But I have made 16k posts here over 11 plus years. So yeah, I’ve said some stuff.

Here’s a sample of how I have disclosed that stuff.

Travel baseball. So we have a discussion about the value of travel sports. We go back and forth, and of course I advocate for the value of travel ball. Then someone in an effort to counter my argument asks how much it costs. Then when I disclose that, it gets used against me for years.

Pulte. That came up in the discussion about the lack of recovery in home prices in Chicago vs other aeas. I posted a listing in my neighborhood as an example of what a home is going for vs what was paid back in 2003.

My car. That was in the IMU auto thread. I am passionate about cars, and I love to talk about German cars. But I guess that’s off limit from two thirds of the board leaders too.

Private school. Much like travel baseball, I am a big believer in charter schools and private education as a counter to poor quality public education. My experiences as someone who went through local public schools and universities along with sending my kids to private schools gives me plenty of firsthand knowledge.

For me to engage in discussions about these things, yes, I have related way too much of myself. I apologized several times in this thread. But frankly, fuck it. I am sick of the judgmental pack around this place. The CFMB mob is a whole lot of not fun. Even when you bow down and say sorry, it just keeps throwing it back in one’s face.

Ogie sorry. I am done now for good.

It's a time-honored tradition of the mentally incompetent to just shout "HYPOCRISY!" and "YOU'RE JUST LIKE THEM!" at everything and hope something sticks.

You jump in the thread and attack Seacrest and now you're quitting the board AGAIN because I poked you. Perfectly normal. Cry more!

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

SAD!

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Petty, childish assholes are thick as thieves. Who knew?

Seacrest and Nas seem out of line right now

Let's add another one to the list. A guy that frequently whines about being called names probably shouldn't call others names. I'm very offended and hurt by another one of your vicious attacks. Please remove it.

Do you have a false-equivalency-a-day calendar or something?

Some of you need to watch A Christmas Story.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Look at it this way, Pat, when a door closes, a window opens.

The admins of this site have documented, verified history of deleting and/or editing posts without justification. To suggest they are above this type of behavior is naive. The railroading of JLN is abhorrent.

If QCP were an alt right white nationalist they would sit back and tolerate this. But because Pat is a similarly intense loon from the other side (their side) they will not abide the behavior. Pretty shameful display. Once again I feel myself compelled to neglect my actual beliefs because I prefer not to associate with the people who share my opinions. Very sad.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Did I just read someone calling someone out for name calling then subsequently refer to someone as a trumpet?

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Good idea, Darkside.

A toast...to the barrel-chested, Pat. The creepiest man in town!

Have a terrible night and die in MANY fires.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.

Doesn't the P in PM stand for private?

Soon as I can get my screen shot app working, I have a mole inside the QCP camp.
