    I DEFINITELY don’t want to wade into the job threat thing. And if I were a mediator, I’d advise all parties to never mention it again...

    But I’ve noticed you don’t think he’s funny. Humor isn’t universal. You’ll have to just believe me, he is to some people.

    As for sorries. I’m an apologizer. When someone is up for a fight, so am I. But if I hurt feelings, I usually make amends. My wife? Even though I know she loves me, she has never said sorry in her life. Haha. My point is: don’t take it personally.

    Why would I use a word that has got someone banned for saying it multiple times in regards to the former ducks coach?
    I don't use that word irl, nor will I use it on a forum where I'm semi-anonymous.

    Well, since I fall in the have money so we can tax them but not in the rich enough to get the Trump subsidies - my tax burden certainly increased with Trump - I guess that in theory, before Covid my investment portfolio have increased, but since I do not spend my time short selling - it really did not do anything for my day to day comfort level - and I believed that the market was too high as it was built on short-term artificial enhancements by this administration (I suspect it would have fallen sooner or later given the trade war our president entertained himself with).

    So, the economy has not really been better under Trump for me, and to be frank, I thought it was a lot less sustainable at the first sight of trouble. I did not anticipate the trouble to come so fast and be so large, but I am not surprised that an economy propped by an administration that works based on short-term thinking failed. (I thought the huge deficit that we were incurring from this republican tax plan would be where we would pay for it).

    Good points. And just to clarify., I think he is pretty darn funny most of the time as well.

    I'm much like you then. An apologizer. Hard not to understand why wouldn't everyone be that way though. One of those things I need to come to grips with.

    You bring up a good point: sometimes people just bug the shit out of you.

    I told @SlyPokerDog I wouldn't reply to you along with a couple other members, but this post has me a bit confused to be honest.
    So you are saying I "berated" a member in "multiple threads"? Don't remember that, but maybe I did. I don't remember "calling my forum buddies" though for anything. You'd have to remind me of when that happened. And I'm a bit curious about what the "x" word is as well. Did I offend somebody who pays you that has something to do with their kids?
    Bro, I'm lost. I can't believe you and your boy have all this stuff just up in your dome like this. Keep me on ignore, please.

    Dopt. Here we go....

    Your memory fails you. Nothing to do with having shit up in the da dome. You've done it to more than one person. knowing what I know now, I don't think you meant any harm, but that is really insignificant to the outcome and you should own up to being a part of it. Its funny how you cant remember the things you do, but yet hold onto grudges for years based on whats in your dome for what you THINK others have done......

    Double standard or joke, it still comes off the same...

    Lame.

    "Hold grudges for years".......listen to yourself. Against WHO? These people on here don't register with me man. None of you. To actually think I think about you people outside of reading posts on here is astounding. I'm sorry @SlyPokerDog to even be acknowledging this poster, but it bugs me a bit. Just SO much built up hate that flows and flows and never stops. Just move on already. PLEASE DON'T POST A HUGE LONG DIATRIBE REPSONSE TO THIS EITHER.....I'm begging you. The forum just doesn't need any more complaining and wining. It's hard enough to read all the political stuff let alone 8,000 words on how THE HCP is the devil. Please....... And I see you brought up my work AGAIN...... I'd like to thank whoever it was THIS TIME who so eloquently reached out to the team about me AGAIN. Its always great to have my boss contact me about bullying people on the official team forum. I swear to you all, there is nothing you could say to me in this made up fantasy internet world that would ever make me come at you in ANY form in the real world.

    **Whoever at my work who is reading this now, I hope I didn't cross the line by mentioning this. Its been bugging me for awhile. Wanted to share this with them on here. Maybe I should "call my forum buddies" to have them contact the team in my defense?

    Man, I thought we were virtual bros. Have to admit this cuts deep.

    Okay, I just wanted to wrangle an invite to see inside the broadcast truck, but I've been sucking up for years and that ought to be worth SOMETHING.

    Fuck. Must every thread devolve into the same bickering between the same people?

    Maybe you can just start a bucket thread.

    Sorry Sly, had to share that. Been bugging me for awhile. I’ll immediately go back to my self imposed silence.
