Thirty Days in the Hole

I've learned a lot from many of you including MC. Thank you to all that show a way that has worked for you, and don't dismantle other opinions. Especially if you have never tried it.

oldhvymec - it’s “since,” not “sense,” as in, “he’s got no sense improperly using the word sense instead of the word since.” Since when, you ask? Since every time he used the word sense in this thread!  Just my two cents…

I want to make this observation: with MC gone, temporarily or permanently, we as a group seem obsessed with MC’s absence. He’s probably enjoying that --as he would say: "rent free." It’s like a bad relationship or something.

The last time the issue came up, I said I didn’t care whether he was going to be banned or not; I’d just ignore the threads that get contentious. Without his presence, he is "still here" in our minds.

No reproach- just an observation.

FWIW, I miss the guy, his absence is glaring.  His knowledge and insight at times was significant.  He didn’t pull any punches and defended what he believed in pretty passionately.  To put him in the same sentence as Kenjit is just plain ridiculous.

@heretobuy +1 on keeping the Raven attack/PL counter on point. Not a global generalization, but a specific charge rebutted by specific evidence tailored to that charge and nothing more.
