  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) That's very true. Whatever else LUGNET has been/can be, its members have never failed to rally in support when one of us has faced crisis or trauma. Some of the best moments that I can recall since first coming here back in 1999 have been the (...) (18 years ago, 31-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) Yikes! I didn't even think of that. I just assumed that, as usual, all dissent was quelled by my stirring rhetoric and unassailable logic. Dave! (18 years ago, 31-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) Ah yes. It would have been rather churlish to continue. Strange that I don't remember that thread since I was reading lugnet quite frequently then and certainly remember the kindness and compassion shown after September 11. Tim (18 years ago, 31-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) I'm sure that thread would have gone on longer, but if you look at the dates of the posts you can see why it stopped. Maggie C. (18 years ago, 31-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) That's just the sort of comment I expect to see from a white man. (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) All seriousness aside, your olfactory observation rings partially (WRT me) true. I came online for the first time when I joined LUGNET, and was very disoriented with the concept of discussing ideas, etc with my fingers. Discussions I had in (...)

(...) I just finished smoking a cigar with a friend, so I am, too. But I empathetically deny that spurilous characterization by Dave! ;-) JOHN (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Ahhh... Those good old days of Lugnet!.. Such nice memories... I really miss them... And look what it turned into? (now it might get that long..:-)) Selçuk (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)  
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) No way! Our arguments were entirely the civil disagreements between gentlemen and ladies who held as their ideal the very paragon of polite discourse. Besides--John Neal and Dave Koudys were such stinkers back then! Dave! (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: This reminds me of deja vu (was Re: lego from China and Czech Republic)
 
(...) 103 posts... I'd be surprised if this gets that long. LUGNET was so much more volatile in the old days ;) Tim (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

  Re: lego from China and Czech Republic
 
(...) I was using trolling in the sense of inviting me to respond in an annoyed (and thus reduced) capacity. Having just skimread the wikipedia article I think this is one of a great many uses of the word but probably not the most common (there (...)

  Re: lego from China and Czech Republic
 
(...) ??? Fell for what? You'll have to explain to me what I did to be accused of "trolling". All I see are people with honest differences of opinion. Do you believe that it's possible for people to have honest differences of opinion? Marc Nelson (...) (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: lego from China and Czech Republic
 
Hi sergant, I served, For two years almost. And you know what? It SUCKS, really. It is the most unreasonable place that I've ever been in my whole life. I'm not complaining about that. I actually accepted and really believe it must be that way. You (...) (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)  
 
  Re: lego from China and Czech Republic
 
(...) Well trolled. I completely fell for that one. I still have to argue there is a world of difference between saying something is a racist statement and saying someone is a racist. Tim (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
 
  Re: lego from China and Czech Republic
 
(...) Hey, you can argue all you want about whether people who want bricks to be made in Denmark are racist - especially since you did the right thing and posted to o.t.d. That's what it's here for. My last sentence was just a tongue-in-cheek (...) (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

Tim, Tim, Time: I noticed you bigotted comment about the Army. Actuall the Army integrated in 1948 under Truman. I believe that predates Selma and other marches for freedom and was also before Martin Luther King. Now put down the dictonary and get (...) (18 years ago, 30-May-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
