    Yeah, it's me Al, don't be sad. You know, some people on this forum think that I'm a danger to myself and my family, and that I'm crazy, what a joke. The truth is, I really loved this place and poured my heart and soul into it everyday for years, but it just tears me up inside that some of the people on this forum have such a lack of morals that they can support the madman in the White House. It really upsets me and I just can't be around them. To the good guys on this forum, take care brothers, and my wife sends her regards, she couldn't be happier.

    I'm not responding to judge your decisions, but maybe you'd consider taking a deep, deep breath and moving on from your entrenched viewpoint and disdain for the occupant in the White House. You KNEW that any political comments were gonna get you nuked, yet you chose to touch the 3rd rail and you got zapped. I would venture to say that many of us here, if not all, have at one time or another had to deal with distasteful situations that they simply had to endure and accept. I think you allowed your "hatred" to manifest itself and you simply went off the deep end.

    I learned many, many years ago that when I was in a situation that I had no control over that I just slugged it out until it past. Some of my situations were very unpleasant at best. Perhaps one of my worst was during my time in Vietnam. I was stuck for a year, a very long year. I was in the 1st Infantry Division, no more needs to be said. One of the happiest days of my life was boarding that freedom flight in Saigon and going home. There are no words, I survived, many others did not. I made the best of it, made good friends and occupied my mind with happier times ahead, assuming I'd survive those 365 days. That stuff was literally life and death, your animosity is based on hatred of one man.

    I could offer other examples, but you get the idea. To have an election fry you like it did is simply illogical. To be honest, I'm very pleased with the result of 11/5/24. Had the other person won, our country would be IMO in a total disaster. You had no control over voters, nor their preferences, its called freedom of choice. When I play blackjack, I don't always win and I accept the fact that I had no control of the cards. My cure for that was to enjoy the wins, and know when to grab my keys and drive leave. I have a self-imposed win/loss limit.

    Over the years, we all enjoyed your posts, the back and forth banter, the Reese's Peanut Butter pics, etc, etc. Its disappointing that you are gone, but you continue to reinvent yourself as though we can't see who the new poster is, we all know. At least give this some thought. I think you burned out after posting so much, but obviously you enjoy it here. Perhaps in a calmer moment you might realize that while harboring your hatred, you've lost a lot of friends here.

    I suggest you ponder a well thought out OP post to the posters on Sports Page and slowly get back in the groove you were once in. I don't think anyone here is gonna throw rocks. Dump the hatred thing, life is too short, and it ain't good for the heart.

    Take care,
    Al

    What also struck me as "funny", is that I recall one post he made whereby he decided to begin posting on another similar forum. Well whether it's this forum or that forum, it's going to comprise folks leaning different ways, approximately half and half. That's America, and it's been this way for a very long time.

    The "funnier" thing is that the brunt of his humorous memes, jokes, comments, etc were usually if not always directed towards those involved in sports who leaned right. Such as Jerry Jones and Aaron Rodgers. That was certainly no coincidence. I'd be sure he was just waiting for Patrick Mahomes to mess something up, so he could unleash meme fury on Patrick.

    I'd also be sure that he never posted a humorous meme about Colin Kaepernick.

    That being said, I wouldn't mind welcoming him back at all, if he would just STFU about politics.

    What I find amusing about the whole DD drama is that most of you guys had encouraged him until he had his meltdown. Now you get all analytical about it. Just leave him be, he was sort of a lost soul head case from the beginning.

    That should make him feel much better.

    Not me, I couldn't stand the guy almost from day 1.

    It was pretty obvious to me the guy had several different sized tires on his vehicle.

    I appreciate your post Al, but with all due respect, this isn't about politics, it's about right and wrong, and this country really dropped the ball. I would love to see you and the rest of the people on this forum stand face to face with Officer Michael Fanone, officer Harry Dunn, officer Caroline Edwards, Sgt. Aqualino Gonell, their families, as well as the families of the five capitol police officers that died, and explain why you think he's the best choice for this country. I'm not going to get into politics any further, I did a lot on this forum and I would like to keep an account here just for sentimental reasons. As far as all the other comments on this thread go, I really don't care what people think about me, you don't know me as a man. And Steve, I don't support people dying in boxing, and horse racing isn't the same, horses don't have a choice in the matter. And Joe Banzai, I never liked you either. Have a nice life everyone.

    LOL. Whatever. You're not exactly doing much for this place Joe. It's a boring dump, you might say the sports forum has fallen on hard times.

    A lost soul head case. Wow, that's quite a psychological profile you've put together about me there Dr. Keets. But we should start at the beginning, let me tell you about my childhood.

    The people on this forum don't need to explain anything to me, let them explain it to capitol police officers and their families, stand face to face with the officers and their families and explain their support of the madman. I doubt the people on this forum would have the guts.

    The “complete pardon” turned out to be exactly what you might expect from Trump. It did not expunge his record but officially states that the federal government has forgiven him. It’s a healthy mix of Cool and Lame with a dash of Nothing Meaningful.

    Until Kanye weighs in on this I don’t see MLB doing much.

    Mostly unrelated, but I heard that Elon Musk is presently playing a video game called Path of Exile. I'm told he's buying the best kits in the game and bragging about how great he is. I don't know if this is true with certainty, but the guy who told me this is someone I trust. If this is true it's absolutely hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

    The truth is that 5 officers died and 140 officers sustained some form of injury. The 6th person was a rioter who was trampled by other rioters.

    4 other officers died of suicide with the presumption being that it was trauma-related.

    I would consider these facts and I find them to be well-accepted and part of many court records.

    Do you want to make it 10 officers? I'll make it 10 officers to teach you a lesson along with 8 deaths by suicide in the days, weeks, and months that followed. Keep arguing and I'll just keep adding officers.

    Yeah, that's been confirmed. He's got a character that's ridiculously high level - one that would require significant investment of time to develop. But his gameplay during livestreams of that game show he has nowhere near the experience of skill level to have developed that character himself.
