So I'm going to say the unpopular thing. Smack me down if you feel like you need to.

Ajax isn't here. Either he hasn't gotten here yet, doesn't plan to, or if he is here he is registered under a new screen name. If he is here under a new screen name, he has a right at a fresh start if that is what he wants. Just like we have a fresh start with a new board. I'm sure that a few folks have modified or changed their screen names as well

So...why discuss him here?
If this had anything to do with “fresh start” I’d be inclined to agree. But I don’t think it does. We’re several days into a transition from the old to the new, and some topics are being discussed on both boards. It’sa short term situation that will end when we have only the one board to rule them all.

If Ajax want a fresh start, that’s fine. Given his volume of posts, his posting style, and the track record of other similar folks who have changed board names in the past, I suspect anyone paying attention would easily recognize him.

we all just have to live through it,

He has a chance to make a fresh start now. And now.

And now. He's probably had opportunities in the past, but I only just started keeping track a few seconds ago.

If a new board can catalyze the rapture of Ajax, well, I'm all for it. But I never was much good at holding my breath.

Yeah RI and Bret I'm going to have to say "whatever" to this for right now. I'm frying bigger fish at the moment. I just wanted to express that I thought it was bad form.

Carry on.

I just think it's funny he's apparently still posting on the old board. What a maroon.

I don't think it's bad form to talk about him here. Don't see the big deal. He wasn't shy about posting the BS he posted to this community. Why should we resist just because he hasn't registered yet? Doesn't make any sense, Jersey Girl.

Res Ipsa might exclaim, "That's insane!"

Ajax might counter, "That's Presidential!"

Anyway, let's hope Ajax is not planning on being part of an armed takeover on Election Day and is already on his way in a pickup convoy to Washington.

Conservatards just live in an alternate reality with alternate facts and alternate things they tell one another until it all becomes real to them. The detachment from reality is a problem, and since they can't be baby stepped back from their collective mental illness I'm not sure how this all works out. I guess we'll see.

I had never seen Conservatards before this. I would use contards because it is more similar to libtard AND it covers the fact that they are victims of a confidence scheme.

Trumptard is good too.
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

Ajax "I'm too stupid for this shirt." said:
I thought you were saying that if we were to impose a tight lockdown like Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., we would have eradicated COVID...?
The levels of sheer idiocy has reached heights I never knew was possible with Trump cultists. Between that statement and claiming Liberals just want people to have free money that never runs out (maybe he thought Yang Gang was a mainstream Liberal policy?), and that we're using Covid to achieve this aim, I'm reminded that, once again, Conservatards just live in an alternate reality with alternate facts and alternate things they tell one another until it all becomes real to them. The detachment from reality is a problem, and since they can't be baby stepped back from their collective mental illness I'm not sure how this all works out. I guess we'll see.

Robert Reich's truth and reconciliation commissions.

No, I imagine if you want a haircut we'll have to do everything under the table and on the black market. I predict most things being a black market if this election goes the way the polls say not just due to the lockdowns but the insane business destroying tax rates that will be implemented.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
