The tassled thing is a “sporran” and it’s kind of like a man-purse. I also note that his site still has **Heloise** described as his “girlfriend.” Jerk. ---

Yeah, the site needs an update. 🙂 Also, that picture was taken in Edinburgh, where I was attending a wedding. Sure, both the bride and groom were Dutch, but me and a few mates decided to go in style anyway. The local guests to the wedding loved us for it! A very cool wedding, in a castle just outside the city. I’m a little disturbed by that Johnny LA/Exgineer stalker-simulpost. And I hope to be able to raise a few pints with you too in August, **yojimbo**! 🙂 ---

But… “Coldfire as a moderator you need to do more to fight ignorance, not promote it. Your user name gives the impression that fire can be cold. Don’t give me any crap that a fire is cold compared to the sun or some such bullshit; fire gives off heat, not cold.” -said BZ00000 He fights ignoramouses, ignoramooses, and ignoramuses but his name still cofuses the ignorants. ---

Hey thanks, **Exgineer** and **Johnny L.A.**. I checked the rest of your website too, **Coldfire**. Nice kilt, nice pics, niiiiiiice bike, beautiful lady. hehehe, **Bippy the Beardless** , I always thought ‘coldfire’ was the literal translation [from Dutch] of ‘gangreen’. Apparently it’s a song. 🙂 ---

**gum** I was quoting a banned poster from the laimest flame ever [sup]TM[/sup] made against **coldfire**. I can’t praise **coldfire** myself since he likes Rush and so is beyond any form of redemption 😉 ---

Thank you, **Coldfire**!!! For locking down [this piece o’ crap](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=267476), and laying down the law so masterfully to the vacuum-skull who started it. I tell you whut, I can sympathize with the conservative posters here, who cringe when one of their rabid attack dogs leaves a steaming pile on the Board. Many thanks to the Clogs of Life for stepping in where the hipbooted fear to tread, kicking asshat, and clearing away the debris. :: Stands back, regards handiwork with critical eye :: Naw, this needs a little something… Ah. THANK YOU COLDFIRE!!! ---

I’ll be the second to second that emotion (which means I’m actually “fourthing” it); I read the whole darned thing out of morbid curiosity, and when I saw Coldfire’s post I hustled over here to add my grateful obeisance, knowing I wouldn’t be the only one but hoping I might be the first. Ahem . . . \ . . . so, _ **Thank You** _, **Coldfire** , for this latest and most righteous service to the cause of Good, and Not Stupid, Discourse. ---

Of course he’s great, he’s Dutch! I’ll do the usual Dutch thing and start to nitpick His Greatness. I read on your website that you still have a girlfriend. Either you should update it, or **Heloise** is going to get angry. 😉 And **gum** is _female_. Yeah, I know, fooled me too at first. ---

**Coldfire** , your closing post in the Jenna (I think) Bush tongue thread actually made me _spit my drink_; I commend you on being the first to make me do that in three years. And damn you! 😉 ---

I think you’re pretty cool, too. Smart, funny and intelligent. There are lots of reasons I married you, and the people on the boards see them as well. Now, who’s this girlfriend of yours? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-recognition-of-coldfire/255788.md?page=2)
