I would like to apologize to all of you left wing bottom feeders,Liberals, Bush haters, pseudo environmentalists, smokers, daycare users, conspiracy theorist, feminist and girly males, and nut jobs in general. I was not as hard on you as I should have been in 2005. I promise to be much more intolerant in 2006. I am off to Thekings version of Camp David until the New Year. Rest up and stock up on tin foil and meds you mental defectives 2006 is going to be a conservative year.

AM: I want him to stay. I almost NEVER agree with him, but he serves as a perfect straight man for those who actually think. Do you suppose he's really a liberal who makes his goofy posts to make the conservatives look bad?

I no longer debate much but find myself logging on just to see what moronic thing TK is up to now. Plus I like needling him.
I think he's really just taking an Al Bundy vacation at "the home" which he calls camp David.

No, theking suffers from an attention-seeking disorder which was originally brought on by feelings of abandonment in his childhood when his father took off and left. He had to live in the projects and has never really recovered his self esteem from these episodes. He also has feelings of inadequacey because he never served in the military like the the men in his family.
He over compensates by posting comments, not necesarily because he believes them, but because he wants the attention that these derisive comments elicit. If he were a child, it would be called 'acting out', which drives his need for insulting others.
While he may accomplish something worthwhile in life, it will never be enough as he harbors feelings of guilt that his father left. When these feelings arise, he lashes out by insulting others.
His comments and insults are almost textbook examples of foster parenting classes we took when we became foster parents.
Either that or he's just another attention whore like Paris Hilton.

The board sure would be different without him. Maybe people would post that don't feel comfortable posting now. Or maybe without a "straight man", as Dave puts it, the board would be less lively.

He's often the main topic of discussion (and here we are talking about him now), which may be just what he's after. If so, the board is certainly a success for him.

He claims he doesn't care what people think about him. That may be true, just so long as they are thinking something about him. In one of his recent posts he claimed that he used to slap bald headed men on the top of the head in bars to get a reaction from them. That fits right in with what you are saying, Chuck E. about "acting out" to get attention, any kind of attention.

I am not a republican or democrat, nor conservative or liberal. I am a realist. Unfortunately, not many of you are, so I have to go alone. But I do enjoy watching both of your parties jab

I am with Dave on this one. I'd bet money TK is a liberal, masquerading as a jackass. He's probably a close relative of TheMillionaire. No point in throwing him off the board. He's the only one here to provide defense for some of the Dubya's indefensible policies.

In all seriousness, I do apologize for the way I have acted over the last couple of days, it was not in my best judgement and hope I don't look too much like an a**. I'm sure to some of you who have encountered my rants towards TK, it may have appeared that I was over-reacting. Especially for someone who is new to the board and I just hope you forgive me for that.

Merry Christmas all, best of luck on the rivers this season.

Fishpole,
None of your posts were out of line! I imagine folks that have banged their heads against this wall for a long time appreciated you stepping in and carrying the load for a few days.

Merry Christmas to you too!

TK, I actually thought you were going to show a Christmas Spirit and post contrition....

Here again, I think we are simply "feeding the fury," so to speak. It does us no service to acknowledge the bizzare behavior of this TK person.

TK.......
