knapplc vs. Redux

Never said you did.

Edit.  I'm trying to find the post that gave the reasons for the ban purge but can't.  It was right around the time you quit being a mod, it was either you or zigs that gave the reason I think.  Either way, it was because Polo had become a distraction and the main focus of the board etc.  Well that and probably all the sock accounts used to give his buddies 30 some rep points per post.  But when he exited he had become pretty pompous, in a nutshell that's the comparisom

I found where I explained what happened to polo, et al.

There was a disturbance. Many wept. The honorable took refuge in their strength while the weak cursed and gnashed their teeth.

From the ashes and charnel heaps a thing of hideous strength appeared. From this thing came a sound, at first that of a voice heard crying faintly in the wilderness, but soon it became a cacophony, as if we stood amidst a universe of noise and this was its chaotic center.

A light shone in the darkness. Many turned away - some out of fear, some because they were unable to hope. The light flamed like a thousand suns. Some were warmed by it. Some were burned.

There was confusion and much fear. Wild stories sprang forth of a man clothed in red whose eye could pierce all darkness, from whose mouth sprang doves and spears. The man provided refuge and dispossession in equal measure, doled out at the price of a question. The answer was known before the question was asked. There was a shield, 37 cubits in diameter, bossed with blazing bronze. Upon the shield were impaled both heroes and hard men.

At first many knew not that the shield was unclothed. Whereupon this became known, in secret alleys and byways, in copses and lairs, much discussion could be heard. There was a blaze of exultation and a river of lamentation, and the fire and water mingled and neither were quenched. A great reek arose, and amidst the fumes and foetors some danced and some despaired. A voice and a voice and a voice spoke, and though they whispered yet they shouted. And the shout was heard, and the great shield was employed once again, and yet more were impaled upon the shield, and the bronze ran with red, and yet shone ever brighter.

There came a yet greater time of consternation and the question was no longer asked, but wielded as a weapon. And though the shield was manifest, yet ever more was the question wielded.

From this time of consternation sprang forth again the man in red. At length he spake, and at length he explained. At once were his words mysterious yet always known, apocryphal yet attainable to all.

And while the question is yet asked, and while the shield yet shines in bronze and blood, the sun yet rises, and the snows fall and melt again, and lo! time marches ever on.

Right, well I'm thinking of a post made by one of the mods that explained the reason for the purge and the ban of Polo in layman's terms, not an eloquent retelling.  And you could just admit you were trying to be a d!(k by saying I came crying to you when it's just not true.  I don't care if you like me or not, we both know that's not how that went down.  Point is, you've become a real hard on to interact  with unless we first stroke your ego and agree with you.

I made the mistake of wandering into the P&R forum and tried to offer an objective opinion, one that wasn't even necessarily my own and a lightbulb clicked in your head and you decided you don't particularly care for me anymore.  Once that happens, everything that person does will annoy us, that's how the mind works.  So now when I post and you read it, you read it with a grudge.  I don't fault you for it, it is what it is.

There it is.  This all started with Trump.  Finally you admit that. 

You were a good egg until about two years ago.  Then you started going into P&R trying to own the libs, and when we responded with facts to what you hear on Fox News, you got butthurt.

Paraphrasing the post Redux is referring to:

”They were starting to be bigger than the board”

Yes, actually that sounds like one of the quotes used.

Heh, the fact you actually believe that tells me more about you than anything else.

I'm gonna make this as clear as I can since you want to be a mule about it.

I did not vote for Donald Trump.  I will not vote for Donald Trump in 2020.  I do not watch FOX News.  I'm a registered Independent.  I've made these comments before, we've even agreed multiple times about partisan politics and the harm they cause.  If the general consensus leaned conservative in the P&R forum I would offer the opposite opinion to that as well.  It's a big reason I hate politics, the partisan aspect of it and the refusal to see that a happy medium is usually the answer as it is with most issues.

But, I'm glad you can flat out admit that your bias against me merely stems from the preconceived notion I'm a devout Right Winger.

You can't be a registered independent as an independent stands for independent of party. You can be an independent and lean one way or the other.

Just trying to add to the discussion

Also, this is America so you can be whoever you want to be so you do Redux.

My good friend Redux is correct. You can be registered as independent (at least in Nebraska and California, the only two states I've ever voted in). 

Source - am registered Independent.

In Nebraska, that affords you more choices than if you register as Democrat or Republican. You get to choose from a Democrat, Republican, or straight line independent ballot.  It's swell.

PS - go vote, kids!
