Hadn't looked at it in awhile. Some interesting things found there. Hey, Jim, why not resurrect that?
i think an interview with moderate democrat ought to be somewhat interesting...
what do you say jim, this poster has been at the center of many interesting "issues" lately and many people have asked questions about this poster, perhaps an interview might answer many people's questions.

I don't think that many folks are super interested in his socialistic hopes for the rest of us. He reminds me a lot of Geithner,

TO CATCH A (TAX) THIEF
March 5, 2009 --
There was Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, boldly testifying Tuesday before Rep. Charlie Rangel's Ways & Means Committee - promising that the Obama administration intends to propose "a series of legislative and enforcement measures to reduce . . . tax evasion and avoidance."
Did he look Chairman Rangel in the eye when he said this?
Can he look himself in the eye at the shaving mirror each morning?
A crackdown on "tax evasion and avoidance"? Oh, the irony.
Only after he was nominated to Treasury did Geithner pay some $40,000 in taxes he blew off while working for the International Monetary Fund from 2001 to 2004.
And Rangel's famous tax troubles are even now the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation - laggard though it may be.
Probity for thee, but not for me?
Damned straight....
Now, I was thinking more about yourself, some of our new members, that sort of thing.

I, too, would be fascinated to read an interview of yurt. I would love to hear more about his experiences in the middle east climbing pyramids and the like... and at such a young age!

honestly, i think many here are interested in a moderate democrat interview. he is a new poster with flare. many have wondered about him, i wonder if he will be kind enough to volunteer for the interview.

boy o boy....don't we all love how moderate democrat obsessively derails threads. i mean i have told him no less than half a dozen times i was joking about those things, yet here he is still acting as if i meant every word of it. bless his heart.
hey moderate democrat, why don't you be so kind as to volunteer for the interview. you have claimed you are tired of people questioning your identity, well, do the interview, let us meet the real you. many want to know.

It might be a boring interview, but I'd love to hear from that dead horse that so many people are dragging around these days.

I'm game to do some more interviews if anyone is interested. I actually had a list awhile back of people who wanted to be interviewed and I can't seem to find it. If you wouldn't mind sharing with the board and answering some questions, shoot me a PM and I'll put some together.

it has come to my attention that i was one the parties...i have to say i am surprised by your sensitivities and anger. i dropped the issue of MD's identity...and apparently you guys aren't happy if i mention him at all. i accepted him as a new poster and did not bring up anything jim asked to not to be brought up. yet you three get so upset you have to fucking this and fucking that.
what the fuck is wrong with suggesting MD for an interview? it was MD who in fact brought up shit, whereas i ONLY mentioned him for an interview. what is your problem with suggesting him for an interview? you guys honestly are a bit touchy over nothing. seriously surprised at your unjustified anger.

mr. p said shit, my bad on the effing, i meant cursing when i said that, manu and then you said you agreed with manu who agreed with mr. p. they both used effing and since you said another quality poster that agrees, i was lead to believe you supported their language as well.
tell me, what is wrong with asking MD to be an interview subject? and how is this a continuation of the feud?

how was i continuing "shit"? mr. p was pissed and asked that we stop the shit and you and kath agreed. what exactly is wrong with suggesting MD do an interview? and how is that a continuation of anything?

And what am I in charge of?
come on, my reply to your interview was funny manu...maybe just a little given this lousy week
and let it go? why can't you answer my questions after calling me out like that? i found your response somewhat insulting as it emphatically agreed with mr. p. is it really too much trouble to ask exactly what did wrong or how i am guilty of that which you accuse me of? i would hope if a friend calls me out that friend would tell me exactly what for.
and abbey's right, it was slightly tongue in cheek, however, also serious as i have accepted jim's proclamation to accept MD as MD. as such, i think he would make an interesting interview and i would think he of all people would want to give the interview.

Yurt, I'm NOT pissed...nor as nice as Manu or Kath...Check "this" thread for your obsessive "what's the problem" posts.
You and MFM jab each other all the time which only results in a flame fest destroying thread after thread..Drop it, man..move on. It's getting so disruptive IMO I'd support one or both of you banned. Sorry.

my obsessive whats the problem? good effing lord if you could answer a simple question there wouldn't need to repeat of it. you make a claim back it up mr. p and have the common decency to answer someone when they ask you about what you claim is the problem. i think you're the one obsessed with MD and I. why don't you let it go and deal with the fact that we may happen to discuss each other or respond to each others posts. its an effing board.

In any case, who would have thought an innocent post for revival of interviews would lead to this? Not me.

this is real simple kathy, i want an explanation of the stop the "shit" as mr. p calls it that i continued in this thread. i simply suggested him for an interview, MD brought up shit and i responded that he continues to bring it up and then suggested to him that might want to do the interview. i brought up nothing from the past that jim asked to be stopped.
is it really that much to ask for manu and mr. p and yourself as you agreed with both of them, exactly what i continued and what is wrong with suggesting MD for an interview?

Again, I didn't see any call for banishment, your word. As for you and MD, regardless of how either of you and others involved put it, you ALL continue your game. Really, it would better to start your own site, rather than running it across at least 4 boards that I know of.
Jim has been good enough to provide a place to debate/discuss issues. You all want something 'more.' Go at it, but not here. Please. Here, argue the issues, what have you, but don't go where you all seem determined to go. Take it where it will lead to satisfaction.

are you really going to argue that calling for me to be banned is not banishment? and games? again, what games did i play in this thread? again, how is suggesting him for an interview continuing anything....and you want to talk about continue things...an hour ago you told MD (whatever your current personality)...what do you mean by that?
i have not brought up anything since jim made that thread.
you don't want me here, just ask. i'm gone, simple as that. i really have no desire to hang out at a place this where one person outright would not mind if i was banned and you suggest i start another board.

Yurt, I don't know what I could write or say-if I could talk to you-that would be more direct than I've said, in words, rep, comments. I respect and like you. For whatever reasons, you've gotten twisted in with some person that means harm to you and yes, the board. Rather than isolating, you and other choose to engage. I wish you wouldn't, but can't change choices.
You are one of the best and most prolific posters we have. Ask you to go? Never. Want you to go? Never.
I'm not going to get caught between the rock and hard place, I know when to back off.

Yurt - simmer down, buddy. I think a few people took your original comments as an extension of the feud, sort of "interview him and peck at his identity" type of thing. Either way, doesn't matter, nobody wants you to leave, they just want to see the feud stop. I've always said the rep indicators were not very valid but more of a representation of someone's popularity and friendships with others - and I think that'll show that you are one of the most, if not the most, well liked members of the board.
Let's just put this behind us, I'll get a few interviews ready and we'll move forward from here.
P.S. - I only received on PM of interest about the interviews. Anyone interested - please send me a PM!
