In fairness to him, the reason he had it was because I had sent it to him in a very angry email at the time sarcastically saying “in case you’d like to give them my address, here it is.” He posted it and I received… well, enough of other boardly matters.

Oh, I missed that. I think your anger is extremely well justified then.

"Damn . . . I didn’t think he’d really do it . . . "
Seeing the names of old posters that have dropped off and gone away is the worst part about reading old threads. I miss just about everybody who hasn’t stayed current in those old threads.
Hawaiian Surf cologne.
Bottle was wrapped in 4 circular corks.
Nice smell.
Stay tuned, there’s more to come. I’m 56! 
Q
I was just informed by E-mail that I might have the chain of events wrong in the Sampiro-**Excalibre ** incident.
I have a question that will probably cost me some ill-will.
Did **Excalibre ** actually post in the thread before **Sampiro ** had start accusing Carnalk and **Excalibre ** of starting shit with him?
I have reason to believe that **Excalibre ** did not actually do anything until challenged by Sampiro. If this is true, than I have acted like an idiot earlier in this thread and owe **Excalibre ** a public apology.

Damn I’m behind on this stuff!
Where the hell did Liberal go?
[/QUOTE]
He’s at home. He seems to be doing pretty well, last time we spoke. His departure was a bit uncomfortable for some, including himself, I think, if he can face that. But he made a choice that included not being involved here. So far, that has been permanent.
It wasn’t nearly as rancorous on his part as a lot of people think.

Let’s just say there were a whole lot of emotions running out of control at that time, a lot of things said and done that the parties would or should regret in retrospect, and that no one involved is wholly at fault, nor wholly blameless, for the bad things that happened.

Thank you for the reply. I will leave it at this.
Excalibre, if you bother to read this, I apologize for thinking you started something and I apologize for being an idiot.

That says it succinctly, concisely, fairly and well. I won’t devote more Dopespace to the issue but if any is interested in my take send me an email and I’ll answer.
Such sentiments are lovely to hear, anduril and others. I still have no work access and my free time is shared between my year-old nipper and some forays into an exciting new career, but I hope to spend some time with y’all over Crimbo at least.
Tris, if you hear from Lib personally, tell him I miss him too.
Nice to see you back. Looking forward to it.
Oh!
Y’all are talking about people, huh? :smack:
Well, I miss the guy who got banned.
Which one of the many, you ask?
Well, this guy was a great cook and musician, and I am embarassed to admit I have forgotten his nick, but I would have recognized it in this thread.
Don’t know exactly why but it seemed at the last he was trying his damnedest to get banned (not unlike someone else who went a little nutso and whose nick starts with Q) and kept ignoring all of the strikes, even as they were posted.
Anyway, now that I’m “with the program”, that’s the guy I miss. Whose name I can’t recall… :dubious:
Speaking of being “with the program”, how come y’all didn’t correct me when I posted earlier in this thread?
Was it because I’m a senior citizen and “allowances must be made”?
Well, I’m broke too, if anyone wants to make “allowances” for that!

I miss chat. The old days of chat, when we’d have dozens of intelligent, witty dopers flinging words around at breakneck speed. When you could follow maybe two or three of the seven or eight conversations going on, if you concentrated really hard. All of the chatters back then are long gone now. This isn’t meant to denigrate the current crop of chatters at all - they’re all great. There are just a lot fewer of us hardheaded, stubborn, refuse-to-give-up-on-it types, and there’s not as much to say any more.
I remember seeing 70-80 dopers in there at a time, and now we’re lucky to get more than three people actually talking instead of just lurking.

Dude, I miss it too.

Good to see SentientMeat checking in. Had me worried there for a while.

D’you mean Zenster? Or was it just Zen?
Yeah, I miss him, too. I think of him whenever cooking threads show up.

That’s the guy. He had some great recipes and a good brain.
I miss G’Dope too. Zen was there for a while, I think?
If any of my G’Dope friends read this, I’d like to come back over if it’s okay?
Sorry for the hijack.

That takes me back - when I read that she had unexpectedly passed away, that was my first experience with getting an emotional punch in the gut from “strangers on a message board.” Try to explain why you’re crying - “Some lady I don’t know just died suddenly.”
