[Vwdiesel] On the T of the OT T

[Mark Shepherd]

I think its about time we dropped this:
I'm sure if Dan was worried about the content then he'd have stepped in
long ago. As it is this site remains predominantly on target which is a lot
better than most other forae. In any event the site is successfully self
regulating and proof being that Hagar excommunicated himself in response to
those who were quick to stick the knife of vengeance in and then the group
of subordinates rushed to tweak the handle...

No one could argue with the generosity of Hagar if they called for help; I
personally think the benefits out weighed his somewhat profound feelings
about the state of the world. An old sage who is in poor health (self
inflicted or otherwise) sometimes says things that are regrettable.
 I know this as my wife works on an elderly care ward and tells me all the
time how kidney/liver infections affect state of mind and produce profound
changes.
 I for one shall miss him and if he was as devoted to the crew as he
claimed then this sudden dumping could  have been catastrophic....

If we find him hanging from a tree; my hands will be clean!

As for Loren; maybe he wanted to leave anyway.  It will be nice if he comes
back after all; if it was just Hagar, then his demise has removed the
barrier of return...
Remember however thin skinned some people claim to be we all shed skin all
the time.
