In short, your claim that “88,” **in lieu of any other evidence from his posting behavior** , was all it took to “peg” him as a Nazi, are entirely unconvincing to me. Obviously, you dispute my opinion.

“Rick Roll” would be a good user name, as well.  
(Sorry, lack the energy to rickroll ya this morning.)

Thank you for finding the thread.

For others, as I stated upthread I am not allowed to discuss this in detail in ATMB; further I don’t want to discuss it in another forum. Obviously people have different opinions than I.

Well, I confess to having joined this board as **Rocket88** , but I changed it mainly because it was a lame handle. I didn’t even know about the ‘HH’ deal until much later.

But that’s a great song, and that’s what I thought when I first saw it, I didn’t think it was lame at all.

I keep waiting for a lady to call herself, **“Vulveeta”**. I read in a book somewhere, sometime that it’s the women’s version of smegma, the cheesy substance found around an unclean penis.

Just wanted to throw that in for y’alls’ edification.

You’re welcome! 😉
