Was wondering what happened to him? I use to enjoy his basketball posts during the NBA playoffs. Was he banned or he just no longer posts? If the latter, I wish I had his will power to stop posting here.

Some posters really miss LTG. One in particular has essentially retired because no one else will waste their time engaging him. Despite all of the years he spent in law school.

He wasn't even here to get an answer to the question as to whether this is the year that the Atlanta Hawks make the playoffs.

When he wasn't getting all ragey over politics he was a fine fellow to have a debate with, although his conclusions on the Russians being the only reason that the allies defeated Germany were suspicious at best.

Are we actually certain that LTG and JLN aren't the same guy?

I miss him, he was pretty Pro-Palestine I get that, but you are a soft biitch that can't handle disagreements.

I enjoyed him. He said some pretty dumb stuff but he never seemed to be trolling or obtuse.

We all say dumb stuff, it's bound to happen when you post hundreds or thousands of thoughts..he was sharp. He was right about Porter, Lonzo and many other nba stuff.

He had a difficult time discerning friend from foe so that you might write something supporting him and he would attack the post

I found that somewhat endearing and frequently hilarious.

When you are constantly under fire from everyone (including me at one point) it can be somewhat difficult to tell the difference. I think he and RR had a great relationship because he never felt RR was attacking him. He and I got along really well over the past few years or so.

I don't think I ever had a disagreement with him outside of schools opening but he always had the red ass when he was responding. It wasn't just being on the defensive. He was like Mad Max in the Wolf of Wall Street, yelling at the phone for ringing during his favorite tv show. Just a perpetual state of being irritated

I noticed that a few times. That was definitely an error on his part. I know where it comes from. It's a sign he had been in a few Chicago scuffles.

Most of us take our lumps on here from time to time. They're deserved at times. It was different with LTG and even B-Mac. Attacking them was a bipartisan sport. LTG got frequently tagged with labels from many of the same people who whine constantly about labels. You know things are off the tracks when a sensitive white guy claims that LTG is racist against blacks or hates blacks because they have different views on abortion.

LTG frequently liked to claim he could not post in certain sections because they were "unreadble", then he would turn around and do the same thing across multiple threads/sections.

I understand. You take it from so many sides you don't remember who are throwing the life preservers.

I really despise when cliques do there thing here.

He and I found common ground in many areas, experiences and a couple mutual friends. I thought about texting him the other day when I first saw this thread

LTG and I were cool.
The dude battled to the end with anyone and everyone. Agreed that he become a target for MANY....some of which was self-inflicted, but it got pretty unfair and ridiculous. I miss him and thought the board was a better place WITH LTG.
