I'm more concerned about you and watching you get yourself so worked up over so trivial a matter. You have so many other more important things on your plate, that you shouldn't be wasting your energies bothering with the likes of Julian or trying to protect me.

You still have so many things to do before you, things much more important than this garbage. As much as I appreciate your support, I would prefer you maintain your focus on the important tasks you have ahead of you. I realize the hijacking of your TR identity upset you but those of us who have come to know you, were not for an instant taken in by it. This Julian business is just more of the detritus, left behind by the presence of a few mindless imbeciles who endeavour to spoil TR for the majority. They should not be permitted to distract you from the more important aims in your life. You have an important job to do; don't allow the miniscule intellects of the Julians and Stubby_Ms of this world distract you from it.

Hats off to you lady, give it your best shot, I know you're going to succeed; if for no other reason than you have to.

Dawg ]:) B-)

to that particular thread, which was pulled. Generally I at least scan most of the threads to see if there is something interesting to participate in. That one didn't even entice me - should I have looked at the beginning?

BTW: this is the first time said they were leaving TR and then they showed up again. If I remember correctly we had two VERY large threads last year about someone leaving and that time OZ was being blamed for it. It was funny to watch and see the responses. This doesn't seem to be as much fun from what I am reading.

I generally enjoy the posts of the people in this thread, but I find most of the flame wars to be.... worthless.
I'm really glad I missed most of the Ethiopia thread....

The "USA" statement - Hurray!
The "ladies" statement - oooooo, cold. True but cold!

It was spread over more than one discussion but here's my synopsis.


Dawg and Others: "You want answers?"

Jardinier: "I think I'm entitled to them."

Dawg and Others: "You want answers?"

Jardinier:"I want the truth!"

Dawg and Others: "You can't handle the truth!!!
Listen up Jardinier, tomp12 or whatever you're calling yourself these days, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You Jardinier? We have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the US and Canada and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know: that war, while tragic, probably saves lives. And our existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about...

(insert various truths here)

"We use words like honor, code, loyalty... We use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. We have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom provided by others, then questions the manner in which it was provided! We'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, we suggest you STFU! Either way, we don't give a damn what you think!"

Jardinier:"Waaa Waaa Waaa"


Me-That's how I remember it.
