In fairness to us, this all happened in the gun politics thread. A thread designated to be a spot for serious and confrontational debate. I'd feel bad if this was some crazy argument that broke out in Groovy Times or something, but I feel like we weren't doing anything wrong by keeping this all in one thread designed to be kind of hostile.

People gotta compartmentalize. You exchange blows in the dictator then share drinks in groovy times and go listen to good tunes together in the last gang. Blows my mind that people can't figure that out. Heck, that's basically my real-life job.

Addendum: Can we all just drop it?

Hold up. No. No. No. No.

I will admit to getting angry and overreacting at Wally flouncing out of here in a huff like so much Sean Flynn. But I am NOT to blame for his attitude before that. And I will not accept responsibility for his inability to take it as well as he tried to dish it out.

This.

Teps: it's fine to lament the departure of Wally--but it doesn't mean you have to fucking blame Wolter or Flex or me. That's unfair. Although he took a turn for the cranky last year, I've enjoyed Wally's presence, and I don't like that he's decided to leave. However, it's his business and assigning blame out of ignorance is wrong and unfair.

9 times out of 10 it is a Simpsons quote. Only occasionally will there be a Dr. Strangelove or, in the case of Silent Majority and me, a Wayne's World 2 quote.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I'd like to think I broke new ground in using an Outside Providence quote. I've also used a Star Trek V line before, proving that it wasn't a complete waste of time and effort.

Cut it out you guys.


Cut what out?


Fighting with other board members. I don't know or care what it's about, but Wally is great and I'd hate to see him leave because neither of you can just say never mind.
I was calling for everyone to let it go, not just your side, everyone. What do I mean everyone?

Exactly. How is Wally not included in "you guys"? Again, I was referring to everyone involved.
