And he knows it. Why do you think it hurts him so much?

Doesn't hurt me at all, quincannon. I'm a coward, I finished third grade, and I never served. I cheerfully chat up my jail term. I have no ego in this. Your opinion doesn't mean much anymore, which slightly depresses me, but your choice.
I doubt anyone will notice a change in my attitude or postings.

So do I, but hope springs eternal, and I will be double damned if anyone will ever say Quincannon did not try. The only thing that depresses you is to find blood in your stool. I have and it is depressing as hell. So if I can beat that, a fourth grade dropout should not be that difficult.
Have no fear, no reason for funk, I am still the same intellectual giant, thanks to finishing high school, more community colleges and night classes then I can remember, with a dose of CLEP thrown in.
Now if you want education turn to Fred. Jesuit trained, you know black and white, right and wrong, no middle ground, an education of absolutes, with a once and future good basketball team, and manners thrown in.
Can't beat dem Jesuits, Dem is good. Dood I mention they teach grammer at Georgetown too.

I doubt anyone will notice a change in my attitude or postings It's how they are perceived that counts. They will rate below conz's droolings.Why below?Because unlike you conz's never embelishes his cac with personal abuse.

OK seems everyone has to chime in on this matter so I will also. Colonel I have the highest respect for you. I respect Wild, Rosebud, Ian in fact with rare exception everyone on this board, I look at us as a forum family. I believe that we should post as gentlemen. the ladies always post as ladies. Why DC feels the need to insult and demean I have no idea and you people have every right to attack him,however I cant go along with this DC attack
Colonel I think you will understand more than others, when it gets personel on a military board such as this, I dont care about insults or Custer nonsense, I look at a persons core values. To me that means (And I dont expect anyone else to go along with my feelings) how do they value soldiers, vets and combat vets Richard you have been on this board longer than I have and there may be things I dont know about, but in the year and 1/2 I have been here I have never seen Dark Cloud say anything demeaning, disrespectful or dishonorable about soldiers or vets in fact just the opposite There is someone that speaks against vets especially combat vets,but it is not Dark Cloud, in fact it is noone on this forum
Be Well Dan

Dan: You know I consider you one of the good guys here. I am not sure which DC attack you are refering to, so if you get time point me in that direction. Now to the larger point:
For as far back as anyone cares to go DC has been a bully on this board. He may feel he has his reasons. What they are I cannot fathom. What I do know is that he picks on people who do not meet, whatever standard he sets. A page ago he called Richard an Irish drunk. There is no reason for that. There is no reason to pick on Ian because his usage of grammer may very well be more localized, may even be hurried. I would say it contains a lot of misspellings but that would be like the pot calling the kettle black. All this to what avail? Does this make DC seem bigger in his own eyes? Is he the chief of the grammar police and no one bothered to inform anyone else?
The plain and simple truth of the matter is that he is a smart guy who has a lot to offer. I don't think anyone will dispute that. What I dispute is his right to offer it in the manner which he does, and at the expense of others. There is no need for this , and it will stop as soon as this behaviour on his part stops. Life is to short to be bickering over such pettyness. But life is also to short to put up with someone who sets out to make peoples life miserable on a daily basis for what seemingly is his own perverse pleasure.
No what you have witnessed is nothing more than giving back to him what he gives to others. On his part it is malicious. On my part and a couple of the others it is nothing more than a means to say to him OK Buster how do you like the receiving end. It will stop when he stops. It will not be started again until he starts it again. Everything he gives will be given back in kind until he realizes that the prize he seeks is not worth the price he pays.
I do hope that meets your satisfaction. You have my personal word that I will not initiate any action, under any circumstances save one, a re-start by DC of further hostile jabs at another. You may be further assured that if anyone else takes a jab at him without cause, I will be just as harsh with that person as I have been with DC. Maybe just maybe we can bring this to an end.
I don't think DC should bear the entire blame for this. He started acting the way he does evidently many years ago. I don't know but it probably started small, an insult here a needless jab there. The people really responsible for all this are those who sat around and did nothing to stop it when it started. I suppose they figured it would go away, it was none of their business, I just don't know. Well it does not go away no more than a tumor in the gut, a cancer goes away. It must be treated, it must be nulified, it must be cut out if need be. So the ones that are really responsible are those that did nothing. They are the ones that impede the work of this board, because they did not insist on policing themselves, where things like you have seen in these recent days are not tolerated. No they were content to say well somebody else will do it, the other guy. Well the other guy(s) finally steped up to do the work of policing and moderation and these very cowards who hid under their desk and ignored this problem all these years are the first to say silly and childish. Bull crap people. Live up to your responsabilities and these things won't be necessary. Don't, and you better plan on finding a new board to while away your time on, because this one will be as dead as a can of corned beef. Cause of death - nobody cared.
Of course there is another way to stop this right now, that being the moderator start moderating. One transgression gets a warning. Transgression number two get a more forceful warning. Transgression number three and you hit the bricks. I would welcome an official policing function where everyone is subject to the same transgress in a malicious manner and you die. Real simple. Fair to all. You want it to stop - moderate.
PS: Dan check out response 67. I believe that was what Richard was referencing. Unfortunately that one was true. I am an old soldier with a cat on my lap. He is a damned good cat, and I am a damned old soldier, so I suppose once again it was not what DC said but in the manner of the saying that he found objectionable.

Dan Richard you have been on this board longer than I have and there may be things I dont know about, but in the year and 1/2 I have been here I have never seen Dark Cloud say anything demeaning, disrespectful or dishonorable about soldiers or vets in fact just the opposite I posed the question in reply to this--- Wilde is ecstatic; the Irish drunk at the bar urges on an aged soldier with a cat in the lap. You will also note the "Irish drunk"remark.Just about all DC's replies to contributions made by me will contain anti Irish slurs.They are not racist slurs according to him but national slurs so Its ok. I have been subjected to these insults from day one on this board and with the exception of Cathal no one came to my defence. Today's victim is Ian.Well enough is enough. I appreaciate that your post is motivated by wanting to see fairness done.You are much respected here abouts for the polite and wise manner in which you conduct yourself.A word in support of Ian or other victims of DC's abuse would carry so much more weight than anything I can produce. Regards

Some more of darkclouds ravings,
‘’Yantaylor - when he has no other option - admits everything I have said is true but still whines about it’’. Well pardon me all the way to hell here darkcloud, I explained all this before, obviously you hadn’t read it or not even took any notice of it, I posted apologies on a number of occasions hoping it would calm things down, but your response fuelled the fire even more.
I finished third grade, Wow Blow it out of your arse darkcloud, I had a better education than you.
I cheerfully chat up my jail term I couldn’t care if Tony Olando’s Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree was about you or you even met Johnny Cash in there.
Rosebud who tried who calm things down said: Boulder Colorado to Colorado Springs............103 miles Go have a cup of coffee.
So darkclound responds with: Rosebud (a name which, outside Citizen Kane, was not Hearts's sled, but the name Hearst gave Davies' clitoris - fun fact!.
This loony who must either take some perverse pleasure out of winding people up and making even more enemy’s, he is like a loose cannon, someone needs to keep him in check, otherwise he will grow stronger, and he will dominate this board and chase even more people off with his attacks. Now I hope I don't have to keep replying to these attacks, lets get back to some normality, this is taking us all away from what we are actually here for. Ian.

quincannon:
The last thing you need to be doing is making more enemies on this board. This is about the LBH not about DC or you or others who are resorting to insults and slurs that have nothing to do about the forum. Why don't you guys just insult each other in private PMs and keep the trash out of this board.

Hi Crzhrs, I have already suggested that to darkcloud, it was the first think I thought of doing, I know its unfair on you guy’s all this sledging, I will offer this again to darkcloud for you all to see, if he wants to continue this war of words I will gladly do it via PMs. Ian.

And why don't you mind your own business, Oh wait you did that for years. You are whining again Crazy Horse. It will return, I promise you. You just don't like being called out for what you did not do. I don't blame you. I would not like it either if someone told me I sat on my ass and did nothing when I could have taken action early on to stop this drivel. Like I said above, get a backbone or hide, take you pick.
And should I make enemies, so be it. It is sad but I comfort myself in the knowledge that those potential enemies are not of sufficient fibre to wish to have as friends.
If you are insufficiently skilled to read and understand why this is taking place, then I can offer you no help. There is not one among us who has not tried to settle this manner off board with him in person, and yet it continues. At least it continued until last night. We will see what today and tomorrow and the tomorrows after that brings. If you don't like what I have to say tell the moderator to start moderating. Tell her to do her job. Until then you know my position and the position of those I have allied myself with.

You have fallen hook, line & sinker for DC's MO . . . and he is enjoying it more than you think.

Quincannon,
I'm going to second Crhrs here, and ask you both, if you want to slag each other off why not do it on your Pms, and let the rest of us get on with discussing the issues.
I resent being drawn into this nearly as much as being accussed of hiding my head in the sand. quincannon, you have been someone whose posts have been well worthwhile reading in the past, and I would suggest that you beware of falling into the trap of becoming a mirror image of your enemy. It doesn't help accusing other posters of having avoided their resopsibilities with regards to getting DC taken off these boards, surely that's the responsibilty of the moderator. She has been asked to do so many many times over the years and has, for her own reasons, always chosen not to. So please give us all a break and continue the war on yor PMs.
Before I move on, and as I said I resent being drawn into this, Ian you are not helping matters by continuing to stir the pot. As part of my post I suggested several alturnative ideas as to how E company might have ended up in Deep ravine, { that was the question you posed remember?} but you have chosen not to respond with your own ideas in favour of taking part in the war. Time to call it a day, this is an interesting topice, let's all get back to it.
Shan
