    Why do I suspect that your "African-American colleagues" perceive you the same way people on this board perceive you?

    How does this board perceive me Ragu? Better yet, how do you perceive me since you can't speak for the board?

    Oh, I'm sure the phrase "only Oreo in the sugar bowl" goes over well with his "African-American colleagues."

    That was an offensive statement, boots. You should apologize.

    If it offended anyone. I apologize. By the way, the phrase is fly in the sugar bowl and I've since fixed it.
    Now, I'll put it in a way that hopefully isn't so offensive. Bill Rhoden is the only African American writer on the staff.

    If you weren't the densest human on earth (not to mention, the kind of person who makes up BS stories to draw attention to himself), you'd know how the board perceives you. Dozens (I'll conservatively stick to a low estimate, not taking into account the dozens that just ignore you) of people have weighed in on thread after thread on which you have interjected your nonsense, commenting about your persona and your know-it-all, contrarian-just-to-be-contrarian posts, which are designed--as everything else you do on here is--to draw attention to yourself. Only a complete maroon or someone lacking sufficient mental capacity could have your history on this board and not know how you are perceived by people without it having to be spelled out (which jgmacg did anyhow with that list that got a near-unanimous "hear hear" from everyone who saw it).

    I know, I know. Take it to PM, be safe out there, I post in a way unbecoming of a moderator in your esteemed estimation, I need to find myself a "gal" to lay cheesy, disgusting lines on, I should keep my posts to the topic of oreos in sugar bowls and everyone should have a happy Gene Banks recruitment day, "son."

    Dave Anderson left?
    Is that common knowledge or did we bury the lede here?

    Yes Dave's been gone about two weeks now. There's a nice tribute thread about him somewhere.

    Common knowledge, I'm afraid. He's gone into a genteel state of semi-retirement, and will do only a few emeritus columns here and there. Announced, I think, two weeks ago.

    Boots,

    You asked for it with that moronic remark about the Oreo in the Sugar Bowl, since edited. But we move back to the original topic now.
