You were big in 1984 but I am not aware of anything you have done since. ---

I’ve seen your posts before. If I know you at all, its from reading Mafia threads. BTW, man we’ve got a lot of mafiosos who I haven’t seen play a game in a while. Maybe we need a Prodigal son Mafia. ---

I don’t remember calling you an asshole, but it doesn’t sound like something I wouldn’t do. If you know what I mean. Er. And if you do, please explain it to me, 'cause quite honestly that doesn’t make much sense. ---

And if you do, please explain it to me, 'cause quite honestly that doesn’t make much sense. Makes perfect sense. You are not necessarily adverse to calling someone an asshole if the situation warrants it, but do not specifically remember finding it necessary to call me one. I bear no ill will about it, and may have confused you with another poster. All that aside, I do recognize your username as one I’ve seen around here for a long time, and voted accordingly in the poll. ---

Ok, **Winston**. Over 100 people have said they know you so now what do you do? Do you pick ‘Most 100+’ or do you think you’re just a wee bit more special and pick Spartacus? I suppose you could wait till every single person on the dope votes. Oh but wait, you _can’t_ pick Spartacus because some people voted that they _don’t_ know you! So your poll worked. 🙂 You know which to pick. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Heard of you? I’ve had dinner with you! Indeed you have. Some enterprising young doper should organize another Boston Dopefest. I missed the last couple due to multiple knee surgeries and lack of funds, but I could scrape together enough cash for a couple rounds at the black rose ---
