can we discuss our friend TABS?

hope this comes across at humor..

TABS hahaha..i'm a fan. he pisses me off sometimes, but the new vash doesn't take crap seriously on an internet forum.

I've been on PPOT so long it's pfuuking embarrassing. one thing I admire about TABS there is no new Tabs or old Tabs. just Tabs. jealous almost. jealous he is just Tabs. he has never changed and i see no inkling of change in the future. he is solid in his convictions. I know some of you have met him real life. damn, jealous about that.

in my PPOT tenure, I have never ever ever seen Tabs offer condolences, calming advice. etc. hell, I've never seen him offer apologies. 8 people die in San Jose at the hands of a madman...and here comes Tabs. I didn't read his post clearly, but no doubt, they ring of "I told you so". hahhahah..

if I die, don't tell Tabs. go TABS!!

IMO, Tabs is a closet sadist. For years, he has on a regular basis predicted upcoming and unavoidable economic doom all the while admitting that there is no solution or way to protect oneself. If the warning has no benefit to others then it would seem his motivation is to create misery of others who now worry about impending doom. Sorry but that is my honest opinion. YMMV

Addendum: for the record, I think he is mostly correct. I just don't believe it is very humane to constantly remind people that they are on the verge of economic collapse.

I have had dinner with him on two separate occasions. His personality is the only thing that's bigger than he is. Good times.

tabs is a pillar of PPOT. At certain times in the past couple of decades, tabs’ posts have been very useful to me.

Sure. Why not? We can discuss almost anything or anybody here.

It scares me, but I do believe I understand Tabs while also agreeing with much of what he says.

One big difference is that I continue to hold on to hope for the USA. But hell, even a slave in the salt mines has hope.

(edit) Frankly Vash, it's you I worry about. You're such a Pollyanna that I wonder if you'll suffer a great disillusion
moment, then snap.

+1 That was easily one of the Fuking worsts posts ever.

Now I need to go post twice in Vash's other thread about the use of the F word.

^No his jeans with a dragon on the ass. And the dead mans' shoes all piled in the jacuzzi. I consider those Tabs high water mark posts.


BTW "ass" is not a swear word. It's some sort of donkey.

And "B1tch" is not a swear word. It's a female dog.

So I can technically say "Bad Ass B1tch" and not swear at all.

I've seen at least one, but I think maybe 2 or 3 human posts by tabs. I'm always gobsmacked when I do.

Not you pwd72 I gave you a +1. TABS post in the other thread was the worst.

Tab's is the board's Oracle. Oracles are rare and we honor them when we encounter them. He's wrong about the doom and gloom stuff, but he's our Oracle nonetheless and he's right about most everything else except his analysis of WWII still confuses tactics and strategy despite his best efforts to expand his mind and take the whole thing in.

He's an absolute gentleman.

And at times he's just having fun with us guys. He means well, just likes a bit of a laugh.
