Hold on in Ontario or Quebec for a generation or so and it'll feel you're in Tennessee.

I was under the impression Rudie was from the Phillipines and perhaps even still lived there, as evidenced by commentary about Typhoon Haiyan that passed through.

If he moved to Hawaii I suspect he may be asked to leave by ICE sooner than later if it hasn't already happened... I fear he has already suffered under Duterte's thumb.

There was a member with an Asian moniker that used to post haiku poetry. Wonder where he is now.

haikuman? Last seen in Hawai'i… good guy until things changed…

Here's a thread with some speculation: http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1...sg-1801789
That thread carried a lot of names no longer around.

Some health issues but mostly ennui sidelined me for some time so I'm far from current with the forum. Noticed one of my old foils, billb, is among the missing, would that be from misstep, happenstance or misfortune?

I was always under the impression that he was American, and had lived in Hawaii and/or California, but retired to the Philippines.

That may be so but he certainly seems to have family native to the Philippines:

I believe BillB is on hiatus from this forum... he requested that his account be deactivated:

Given the timing, wouldn't it be truly fascinating if he was eventually unmasked as a certain attorney general?

Counting on it. I’ve lived through 8 of the warmest MN winters on record already...

As for missing forum members, my understanding was Rudie was an American who taught English in the Philippines and married a local.

We’ve lost others besides billb including max. I think our tendency to be more liberal has sent those more conservative elsewhere. Though max, too, went off his own hypocritical deep end right before he left.

And still a few other people here continued to miss that. Why, I'll never understand.

Without opposing voices this place becomes an echo chamber.

Sure, but just *any* opposing voice isn't valuable or worth having around.

My only ask here has been for discussions to be based on something that can be defended. That's what makes debate worthwhile. At least then, people can agree to disagree.

Posts that include immature memes based on false narratives, ad hoc attacks or other cowardly "contributions" are trolls, not "opposing voices."

It was sortta fun reading max's efforts to equate socialism and socialist principles to fascism and Naz ism. Because they named themselves the National Socialist German Workers' Party it logically follows that Socialists are akin to fascists and Nazis.

(apparently the ism that goes with Nazi falls to the same algorithm that refuses to acknowledge a Summa Cum Laude)
