What's the reason for the pic of the disgusting pervert? Also, this thread really was never a topic when it was posted. It's dead, Jim.

I had something I was putting together to respond to this (from "sourmash") and then I lost the text that I had set up while I was still working on it. A misfortunate copy-and-paste error on my part. It was two or three paragraphs. I was comparing the saga of the long running Mike Flynn case to the stochastic convolutions of movement of a ball inside of a pinball machine. "What a metaphor the world has lost."
If other Mike Flynn "enthusiasts" find their way here, they can review the thread and consider whether they want to look at any of the online reports that are available using the Internet page links in my messages.
I'm ready to move on.

One does not have to be an "enthusiast" to see that he was done wrong.

He was "done wrong"..? Do you think maybe he "did wrong"..?
You are aware of the allegations that he and his son were involved in activities like consulting and lobbying for foreign interests--closely connected to Erdogan and the Republic of Turkey--and did not follow the rules about disclosure?
You are aware that on the very day of the 2016 general elections that made Trump the 45th president, an editorial was published in one of the nation's well known newspapers about the U.S. and how the U.S. should be positioning itself in regards to the Erdogan-led government of Turkey, from Mike Flynn?
I think Mike Flynn is a grifter. A man who could already have lived comfortably (so I conjecture) on what he could have received and earned as income, without transgressing the boundaries of honor and integrity for a retired U.S. Army general.
But I came here not to talk at any more length about Mike Flynn. I came here to see what "williegoat" had added to this thread. I was expecting some kind of jest.
Amen.

In a thread where three PFF members mock/ridicule rinselberg, with apparently no repercussions, it's Boondawg who takes the fall for speaking up.
Some of you guys make me wanna puke.

I actually had not read all of the Reply messages on this thread (very intentionally) but Patrick's remark has prompted me to go back and look at everything that's been posted.
I don't have any strong "gripe" about any of what's been posted on this thread. I wouldn't commend some of it, or single it out for positive recognition, but there wasn't anything here that I thought was out of bounds in the New Forum Rules era that Cliff Pennock declared on August 15, 2020.
Has Boondawg been banned because of that "arresting" image that he used in this thread? The costumed guy with a sword and a pacifier (I guess) in his mouth?
I wouldn't have banned him just for that. But--needless to say--I'm not the "boss" here.
Was it something more? Maybe just a kind of generalized way that he had (lately) of "Boondawg doing Boondawg."..?
It boggles the mind.

Political correctness is so yesterday.
If you don't believe me, you're ignorant.
If that hurts your feelings, that's just tough - oh, wait - that's just because you aren't tough.[This message has been edited by olejoedad (edited 12-09-2020).]

Is that directed towards Patrick or towards me?

It's directed at the whole world.
Not singling out any one particular soul.
Just a statement from me, to anyone that cares to read it.
