What happened to Bricker?

He’s more prone to sidling away without admitting to an error than he is to owning up to one, though.

For example, in an Elections folder thread on Trump’s revenge on John Brennan, he claimed this:

I replied with a challenge to him:

That was on 18 August (of this year); the thread’s last post at the moment is dated 22 August. Bricker did not return to the thread after the challenge, though he posted a couple of dozen times elsewhere on the board between the 18th and the 22nd.

It’s certainly not impossible that his sudden loss of interest in the topic had nothing to do with having been challenged.

Yep. He’s prone to going to indefensible lengths to ‘prove’ it exists, too.
