    I did too just now. Mostly, I miss the likes of ChrisM, Crime and Punishment, UCLACarlos, and ThatPhatHat, among others.

    It’s always a trip to read old posts and see people I completely forgot about.

    The best was when he accused Kazuma of racism against Polish people, even though Kazuma has Polish roots.

    Did anyone ever bother telling marek?

    Yeah - i sometimes check those old threads to see what it was like

    It's a bit of a myth that there were great conservative posters back in the day - who did leave were some very good liberal posters like ChrisM

    Someone needs to coin a name for the specific feeling of loss when a longtime poster on a message board stops posting.

    I'm reading this and thinking "Now I know why Wikler had not left the WisDems."

    On one hand, sure. And this was a major finding of the Autopsy Report.
    On the other hand, Florida is unique due to the high number of Cubans and Venezuelans fleeing from communistic governments. IIRC, Cubans are the most reliable Republican voter.

    Out of interest, who were the sensible moderate GOP voters who used to post in the forum who didn't become 2 time trump voters?

    The only two coming to mind are @stanger and @argentine soccer fan

    Were there any others?

    I am not sure if @bostonsoccermdl was actually a republican voter. There were a number of 3rd party voters

    There are loads of trumpers on bigsoccer - they just don't post here

    WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish officials joined war veterans on Sunday to pay tribute to a World War II-era underground force that collaborated with Nazi German forces toward the end of the war in their battle against the Communists, who were imposing control on the nation.

    A Mass in Warsaw opened ceremonies honoring the Holy Cross Mountains Brigade of the National Armed Forces on the 75th anniversary of its formation. The partisans were honored for their sacrifices to the fatherland.

    President Andrzej Duda’s official patronage and the presence of ruling party officials underlined the right-wing government’s rehabilitation of a partisan unit that fought both Germans and Soviets and which is celebrated by the far right.

    Feinstein should not have said that "The dogma lives strong in you" to Amy Coney Barrett. Instead, she should have focused on the religious practice of shepherding.

    Gotye. The loss of someone who is at the same time both ephemeral and yet definitely present.

    As is, "you're someone I used to know."
