Yup. Did anyone know Jimmy Carter was president in 1977?

Yes, Truth is prone to emotional outbursts, but somehow manages to keep her cool in the face of blood-thirsty puppy dogs.

I've chosen to give up responding to Marc DePree as I find his actions on this board laughable at best, and his veiled threats of suing me for "calling him a liar" are the most laughable thing I've seen yet.

Funny how some folks turn defensive as soon as you expose their real motives (i.e. total world domination).

I am disgusted and horrified by some of the posters on this board. They continue to gleefully attack Dr. Godwin and Ms. Slay, two women who are no longer associated with the University. They enthusiastically attack Dr. DePree's wife and associates and call him a liar believing there are no consequences. And, yes. In your paranoid, foolish world, I must be Dr. DePree. Beleive it if it makes you feel better.

Horrified, try being "horrified" at some sort of real issue (world hunger, war, poverty, etc.). Trust me, it will be time well spent as opposed to being "horrified" at the non-issues you state above.

And, if you are TRULY horrified by this board, why are you still here?

PS--It's also hard to muster up symphathy for someone being called a "liar," when indeed, that statement itself is a lie.

Puh-leaze.

Some of us prefer to focus on evils closer to home.

And repeat baseless, empty threats? You must have too much free time, Horrified.

Moderator,
Please consider removing the statements made by TruthforUSM/AH.

I removed statements regarding the personal life of the two people you mentioned earlier.

Please note:
Moderators have to determine the line between genuine personal opinion and remarks that are uncalled for or unduly personal. Remarks about people's drinking habits are unduly personal, as are many remarks about people's social life, but it's always a judgment call. Different people make different calls.

Moderators are not on the board every single minute of every single day. We do our best to catch up when we can.

Moderators may miss some remarks, or may not understand some remarks, and allow things to pass.

Truth: the IP for Dr. Depree's named post does not match the IP of any other poster recently. That's all I can say. The computer savvy know how much that means.

For dat record, me and Thibodeaux we be proud of our drinking, yea, and we be insulted if no body talked bout it. Remember dat Cajun saying, "Moderation in all things, including dat moderation. We dont want to overdo dat, no."

Thibodeaux , he tell me that he only drink on two occasions. One is when he is alone cause he get lonely. The other be when he be with someone, cause he dont like most folks when he drink. Thibodeaux be one of a kind, they dont make cajun boys like him any more.

Just for LVN: On time Thibodeaux was drinkin at a Cajun "pub" wit both feets up on a table (cause of T-Fred). Dis good lookin female woman come in and see Thibodeaux's big boots. She start talkin real nice to him, yea, an dat woman takes Thibodeaux home wit her fer der night. Next mornin I see Thibodeaux comin down da street. He mad as H*ll an tell me dat women throw him out an told him to buy boots dat fit. ....Me an Thibodeaux dont understand, no.

Me an Thibodeaux dont understand, no.

I think the point is that men with big feet are usually good conversationalists. But you know old Thibodeaux, he don’t talk so good, he do a lot of grunting and spitting. That likely disappointed the young lady.
