At any rate, I hope you weather the storm without any harm to your health, home, or business. I suspect everything will be fine, given the reports so far. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > As I just pointed out, I don’t deny science. Dismissing the research showing that currently observed climate change trends are anthropogenic in nature as mere “liberal assertions” **is** denying science. Just because you refuse to apply the word “science” to the particular scientific findings you arbitrarily decide you don’t want to accept doesn’t make you not a science denier. Good luck with your rainstorm anyway, though. ---

Dudes, really. **Clothy** ’s an asshole, but even assholes have lives, businesses and homes. **Clothahump** , I hope you and yours get through the storm without getting a hair out of place or damp shoes. That way I won’t feel guilty about calling you names and railing about your intransigence for the next decade. 😃 ---

**Clothy’s** also a numb fucking idiot who puts threads into the Pit that have no reason to be here and therefore opens himself up to anyone who’s fucking tired of his lameass stupid conservative schtick. If he had brain one he’d put the stupid fucking thread into MPSIMS, which is where it belongs, and that way he wouldn’t be catching quite so many rotten tomatoes. Richly deserved rotten tomatoes in general, albeit not specifically germane to this exact particular thread. I’m betting if he does get washed out he’ll be first in line throwing elbows to grab him up as much of that sweet, sweet, federal relief cash as he can get–all while snottily asserting that everyone ELSE in the same line is a lazy moocher with inferior bootstraps who should have planned better for what is, for him and him only, a completely unforseeable circumstance. It’s the conservative way, after all. ---

> [@HMS\_Irruncible](#): > > Fucking hell, what is wrong with you shitbirds? I too disagree and dislike him generally, but wishing death and homelessness upon somebody is beyond the pale. If this is about political sides, I’m on your side, and you make me disgusted to be associated with you. Reconsider your shitty self. Yeah, that was wrong and although I went back and edited it, I apologise to **Clothahump** for it. I don’t wish harm upon him or his family. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Thanks, guys. It’s going to be an adventure. And an adventure is something that, while you are experiencing it, you wish you weren’t. 😃 It’s barely a category 1 hurricane hitting down near Victoria. At worst in Houston, you’ll just get a lot of rain. I wouldn’t sweat it. You’ll be at work on Monday. ---

**Clothahump** , You starting this thread ( and the other about cancer ) is telling a lot. You know what would happen if you’d be HRC supported in a DJT leaning site and posted similar threads. It would be all LOLs and death wishes. However deep down in your heart you know that the vast majority of these Libtard Dopers here are decent and compassionate people who can put politics aside in moments like this. You actually love us. All that raging you’ve done is nothing more than tugging braids in the kindergarten. I hope I can write all I want to say before the tears will short-circuit my computer and ---

**Clothahump** , will you have to evacuate? I’m not sure of the current path, but the forecasters are really saying this one could be awful. I have cousins down that way, I am going to look them up on Facebook and see what’s going on with them. Stay safe. Do you keep a bugout bag? ---

As much as you and I have bickered and sniped at each other, Clothahump, I hope your home, business, and family all remain unscathed by the weather. I mean, if something happened to you, who would we argue with? Shodan? That’s like Zepplin replacing Robert Plant with the guy from Smashmouth. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk ---
