"What do you think of Owld Skipper?"
Talking about people, esp when they are not even present, is gossip.
Why not? Be my guest, have at it. I hardly think what I posted was gossip. I told a true story and made a comment that was germane to what was happening in here. Now, I shall leave so you can all talk about me. Feel free to say whatever the freck you want. Have to go, romeotuna is on his way in to wash HC's feet.   When you come back, bring a few Molson's whydonja eh?

No anger.
I agree, there is no such thing as an appropriate attack. Beaker is wrong if he does that... There... that being said... can we have a few beers and forget about it? I think there's a rugby game on international sports...

The prevalence of the liberal viewpoint has sadly alienated many conservatives from RP. The love of music is universal and it draws people from every political stance.

What's worse than the community suffering from the dearth of a conservative voice is that B&R's efforts suffer from the loss of support, both financially and socially spreading the word.
Never assume that everyone anyone here agrees with your opinion. I certainly don't.
Speaking solely for myself, which is all I have ever done, criticisms notwithstanding, I do not find Beaker's politics to be the issue... indeed, I find his politics to be a bit too left wing for my taste. My umbrage is with his behavior. Covert threats, demeaning with name calling and insults to those with whom he feels are 'against him' politically, his arrogant attitude of self-righteousness... I could go on and on, but many others here, have, over time, addressed these apsects of his self-isolation from this community. Kindness is not a word one thinks of in the same sentence when considering Beaker a la his posts here in RP. I would expect, actually, that in real life he is probably a fine person and that he is just using this arena to channel his vinegar and spit. And, as might be expected, when you mix vinegar with baking soda, you get lot of froth. I know I have frothed at the dude, even recently. But even though he continues to pour more vinegar upon the soda, it is long since spent of its reactivity, no longer froths, then he goes to find someone else upon whom to spit his venom. I kinda like the guy myself, but please don't tell him that. He might find it embarrassing.

That's my answer to your question, PJ, and the following is not directed at you in any way shape or form.
If you want to hate anyone's political or other worldviews, hate them. If you want to make it personal, I submit that it's a pretty fucked up thing to do. It equates to "because this person believes in something I vehemently disagree with, this person is a flaming asshole". Prejudice of the worst kind. Hate the game, but the playa hating is bullshit.
If this puts me on 10, 50, 100 people's shitlist, I really don't give a rat's ass. I've long ago given up any hope that things will change for the better around here, that's why I'm not around that much. I know who my friends are and so do they, and we stay in touch one way or the other.
As I've said before, I like Beaker because he stirs the waters. There may seem to be too many leftists here at RP's forums but I like to see Beaker post because he's definitely a right-winged person in his politics and the balance makes the whole experience better. Now if I'm wrong to have posted this, I'm wrong. There are times his opinions upset me and I've disagreed with him on things, but I love having him around.

I can't find anywhere he said anything racist or hurtful, but I am not a consistent forum reader. His avatar/sig doesn't really lend itself to anything bad, he keeps saying he's not a racists or sexist. I'm not sure if people don't like him, if so why, or if he is something I can't see. The people who don't like him seem to be pretty smart and witty, and I'm inclined to think they are right, but I can't find anything.
