What Happened To The Holland Sentinel Forums?

Bonds:

What do I need to know? I know you are not a citizen. I know you can't vote. I know what the country has done in the past to those who don't hold citizenship.

Nice to have options you say? Too high a price for me.

The US doesn't recognize dual citizenship. That does not mean you can't have it. C'mon, you should know that...

Apparently not much.
I know you LOVE your facts Tucker.
I know you think you know many personal "facts" about some of us.
I know your facts aren't all that factual.
I know you have this need (don't know why...don't care that much...just enough to type ;)

"What do I need to know?"
...a good question.

Ian:

Bonds once told me he once wasn't a U.S. citizen and it was by choice. The "personal fact" was relayed by the person.

In your case, it is an observation. I've noticed your postings of late have been much more coherent then on the old Holland Sentinel board and even here in the not so distant past. One could conclude you made a change in your personal life. Or maybe the planets are in alignment. Regardless, keep it up.

Yup...It's the (my) alignment Galt. Either way thanks and I will...maybe.

And if you for real want some fact straightening...here is another fact. Ian isn't a felon. ;)

Ian's tools are "copy and paste" and "plagiarism".
Coherent has nothing to do with it.

LOL. Ian, you have the blessing of Lord Galt. I must be bigger trash than you now. Enjoy it, buddy. It's fleeting, because you'll NEVER be on his level.

As far as the SMT website. What a waste. In order to bump up the number of members, I suspect the so-called moderator manipulated the "most on-line members" count to 37 one morning at 5:20 AM. This jumped it from a more realistic 13ish. Now, it is upto 171, clearly manipulated. Any the moderator and his cronies appear to be real nut jobs.

We have nice friendly discussions at www.SuckMyThumb.com (otherwise known as the Suckie forum). We don't have name-calling which is what the Sentinel forum was all about. And that's what killed the Sentinel forum. Name-calling.
171? Yeah, I saw that. I don't know where it came from. It can't be correct. The numbers at www.SuckMyThumb.com for online members should be about what it is here...maybe a few more.

Wow, times change, people don't, I guess.

I went to SR's forums and lurked, stated my peace in one thread, and had to leave it. The circle-jerk of conservative values is just fine, i've no issue with it. It's when another idea enters the ring they don't agree with, the op of it gets beaten around and insulted.

If you do go to the "suck" (whatever they're called now) forums, make sure you just nod and agree with everything posted or you'll be flamed and given mountains of strawmen to knock down.

Hell, just reading through a few pages of this place should be more than enough of an example of what awaits.

then why don't you get involved more? i mean the bunch of us are pretty stupid (according to some)- why not come on in and join - you, Bonds, and the rest?

eh - anyhow you can have fun here too...

You can't use fake user names on the "Suck" though BD.

Heck no. No chance i'd trust my info to Silent. In any case, we'll let that lot follow "us" over here. Sorry that your forums just didn't do it, Silent.

It'd just turn into another round of insults like the last time I posted there.

Hi Panzer. It is good to hear from you. What have you been up to?

what? Bonds had 2 or 3 different names on there..

What info? Your throw-away email address?

We already know all about you from Topix.com and from the old HS forum.

Boy, are you paranoid.

Strange. I don't remember that happening to any member on www.SuckMyThumb.com . We get so little trash on Suckie that when we do I tend to remember it. What username do you use on www.SuckMyThumb.com ? We can then go see what you're complaining about.

Maybe you're confusing someone actually presenting counter-opinions and facts you may have overlooked.

In any case the atmosphere on www.SuckMyThumb.com is more conducive to civil debates. Come, join us.

ah yes - can't take responsibility for his own stupidity....

Bonds - YOU left your email address on your "cranium" login (in fact it's still there). you HAD the chance to hide it. you didn't. your own fault. man up for once...
