Well, it's time for the '06 awards. Let's start with who wastes the most bandwidth.

[Grady Clay]

You know, I disagree with any personal attacks. On the other hand good argument is the “spice of life” and very worthwhile. We never should be dissuaded from this.

I support all the argument, whatever side.

Political disagreement is vital for our society. The well reasoned argument is the basis for our democracy. We all should support “I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it.” Everyone should argue their point. I am only sorry I am not sufficiently articulate. My grandfather was editor of the Princetonian and wrote much opposed to the administration. He and President Wilson eventually became friends in opposition.

What little we do here can possibly have a significant influence. Don’t sell it short.

Best,
Grady

I will second Jims Defence of Pat. I had a certian expectation of "what" Fastpat is. When I met the man I realized quickly, I couldn't have been further from the truth. The best part is I can see the humor of alot of his posts after meeting him. A nicer, quieter person you would be hard pressed to find......................realy..............no kidding.

PS, calling me intense...................this comming from the poster child for coffee overdose.....................

Sometimes when I was hanging around with you I felt like I was looking in a mirror...... one that stretches you out really tall... and makes you less hairy.


I honestly didn't think I would like Pat. I thought he would be a grumpy old man that was overly opinionated and manipulatng. I was soooo wrong. After meeting him, I look at his posts and threads now, when I used to ignore them. Then I laugh because most of his oposers are a big brown bear and Pat is the guy with a stick poking at the bear. He is the Mul wrapped in a different wrapper.

I have gone back and read some of the accolades FP has received and the strange thing to me is that people who have met him change their opinion of him, I suppose that is fine if you get the opportunity or desire to meet him. If not, then how do we get to see that genteel side of this poor forlorned individual.

I thought this was about internet persona not personal contact. Not that I really give a shlt.

Fastpaste +1.

Nothing personal, but I will not miss his posts. True southerners do not benefit from those who move here from California and then perpetuate bad stereotypes.

Anyway, there wasn't much original thought to Pat. Everything mentioned seemed to come straight from a League-of-the-South meeting or web site. Kind of like "Klan-lite".

I'll bring the gasoline and you bring the cross. Maybe Pat can bring some rope?


I was born and raised in NY and last I checked RoninLB was in NY and Rick isn't exactly in the south..... oh and that couple from Monteal... I guess Canada is the new South.

To call our Pelican meet Klan like is sort of in poor taste. It was not a Fast Pat meet, I met him there and spent one evening drinking and eating with him, the rest of the time I drove my car on some killer roads.

I'm gonna 3rd that. Sure do love having to scroll through photos of repugnant toothless women and garage junk, and/or one-line responses followed by 30 lines (count 'em) of sig.
