Blame Sage Rat. After that masterful summation, where else could the thread go?

Ditto Sage Rat.
For fans of Mad Men, you might like reading this. Excellent book. Sage Rat would like it, I’m sure.
It’s good to be the king.
(What? I was correcting his grammar. He used “you’re” twice where he should have used “your”.)

Whoosh. You are now, at least in this thread, and until a mod comes along and assumes he’s doing a good deed, an SDMB meme. Enjoy it while it lasts.
John Mace had an incorrect tense in his OP as well. sigh I guess it just goes to show, Le Jacqulope is right. Too bad.
False Messiah!
Stone him!
Well, I’ll make a perhaps vain attempt at getting back on topic . . .
I think you are really reaching here. I don’t see anything in those two quotes that indicate racist attitudes on Huerta88’s part. Also, I think there was an earlier thread where another poster (I wanna say Bricker but that may be wrong) got all over Huerta88’s ass about the “88,” and he said it was the year he graduated high school or something else completely mundane and non-Hitler-related.
No, the racism part was purely pro bono.
I don’t think I’m reaching at all. In fact, the second moderator who admonished him noted that his comments were “borderline” racist. I just think they were over the line. Especially since the thread was originally opened in GQ.
And just to be clear, the main reason I called him out is that I had defended him against charges of racism in the past. The fact is, he somehow felt he had to pepper his GQ OP with snide comments about Japanese, and then throw a gratuitous “Yellow Peril” out there when he was challenged by a moderator.
And, yes, I’m aware of the thread about the “88”, and the explanation given. It could well be that it wasn’t meant to be the HH reference. That doesn’t change the fact that I’m seeing a racist attitude in his whaling thread.
Heh. I remember that. When he proclaimed that I and other black woman wanted to be raped master-style (after blathering on for days about how b-on-w rape is too fatastical to believe), you were skeptical about my conclusions about his beliefs. So it’s funny that “wacky little guy” is what finally swayed you.
Whaaaa??!
I’ve got a lot of respect for both you and John Mace, and I’d appreciate a cite to the thread you reference.
You’re memory is bit off. I was skeptical that he had actually said that until you pointed me to his post. After that, you and I argued against his position for page after page in that train wreck of a thread.
The thread that Rand Rover is talking about was one specifically opened to challenge Huerta on the “88” in his username. That was an entirely different thread. I also think I defended Huerta against charges of racism in another thread, although I don’t recall the details.
'Yellow Peril" my liver. Hepatitis doesn’t run in my family, dickweed '88.
You’re not sure. But I is.
