I went to the website, hit register for 15 bucks.  Paid the 15 bucks and got back in.

And you're wrong again, as Herb did let me back in.  

The part that I just put in boldface above is totally incorrect on your part.  Would you care to see the email he sent me from "Herb York"?  

Care to put your money where your fat mouth is Skipper?  LOL

Never have and never will call Herb.  I assumed he intentionally let you back in - I see now that I was in error. 

The computer took your $15 and autonomously let you back in.  You didn't clear it with Herb first.  I was right about your lack of integrity obviously.


So then, You ignored my challenge Skipper.  I told you to that Herb did in fact let me back in. 

I'll ask again, Do you want to put your money where your smug, and typically incorrect fat mouth is or are you the pissed off, angry little boy that you've always been?  

You made a bunch of accusations.  Just like your little buddy Gilligan, you can't back up your assertions?  

Care to wager on your accuracy?  

You let me know.

Got it?  

Now then, you wrote this:  

"I assumed he intentionally let you back in - I see now that I was in error.  The computer took your $15 and autonomously let you back in.  You didn't clear it with Herb first"

Now then, I'll my question again fat mouth.  Care to wager that Herb didn't send me an email directly, or are you too big a coward to put your money where your mouth is Skipper?

Care to wager that I did not grovel as you so smugly claimed fat mouth?

That's what I thought Skipper.  You got a lot of mouth but no facts or truth.  

Next time you want to impugn my character, saying I groveled to Herb, and questioning my integrity, you might want to get your facts straight Skipper.    

Now then, I can't really remember why Herb "tossed me".  I do remember telling others in PMs that I would most likely get thrown out on my ear, and I did.

I know that Rod went whining to Herb again because I told Rod where to go, and perhaps Herb got tired of listening to Rod's complaints and thought it was just easiest to remove me.  

I had no problem with that.  It is Herb's site and I respect his wishes along with his actions.  

Herb holds the cards, it is his website and he makes his decisions and I can live with that. 

You know what I think of you though don't you?

The way I see it she used her status and position to wrongly attribute racism as the primary cause of the lack of interest of minorities in Geo Sciences with NO supporting justifications. She tried to use critical race theory to build a case for it.....just because that theory is all the rage right now doesnt excuse the ridiculous claims she made in doing so.

Ah yes, I see now we have arrived at the nit-picking phase of one of Rich's melt-downs. What I said is that is when the party's started to switch platforms. The switch of Southern Democrat voters to Republican voters initially started but didn't begin in earnest until the civil-rights era. In any case, we are not writing peer-reviewed academic journals here with supporting footnotes. Most reasonable people understand this is a backwater internet forum and would tolerate imprecise language from time to time. However, feel free to froth at mouth and nit-pick because if we have learned anything about you over the years, it's that you have to do you.

No one believes that everyone who voted Democratic before 1960 was a racist, and everyone who voted Republican after 1960 was a racist. For example, today, almost no one who votes Republican is a bigot or racist unless you are a David Duke fan-boy. However, party realignment in the 1960s did happen, and Southern Democratic opposition to civil rights mainly drove it.

Another significant political realignment is when black voters left the GOP after the failure of reconstruction. They were faithful to the GOP because of Lincoln's party status. They left the GOP primarily due to increasing Republican hostility towards civil rights. Those who participated in the Great Northern migration profoundly changed their cultural awareness and influences dramatically, contributing to this.
