Free Kenosha warrior

The first step is always taken by the Jack-Booted Heel of Tyranny!

Which boot is -oddly enough- allowing this thread.  Our moderators need to take a class from Dodds before they they can pretend at being true tyrants.

If Dodds is Stalin, then topper is Lenin and rocky is Trotsky.

Chicos and hoopaloop are the Bolsheviks of WWF fame.

Trotsky got an ice pick in Mexico City.

Frankly, if you want a bad ass then Felix Dzerzhinsky is your man. If Dodds wanted a ferocious nom de guerre then Stalin pales in comparison to Dzerzhinsky.

Chicos and Hoop are more like the Mensheviks. Their hearts were in the right place but they didn't get it in the end.

Yes. Because the Russian government oppressing Lenin is the same as the mods putting KW on a (likely) temporary ban on MUScoop.

You are simple, aren't you.

You are simple, aren't you.

Sure. And you're overdramatic.

Sure. And you're overdramatic.

Life is far more interesting along the seams. The conventional is, well, just that. Conventional. Some understand the difference between existing and living. Unfortunately, most do not.

As for drama? The real drama is in confusing emotional for intellectual capital. On fan sites this is manifested in a hysteria over the most mundane. Opinion as fact is truly absurd but that is what drama is...a curious if not grotesque transmogrify that plays itself out in thread after thread.

But don't see satire as drama. Read Aristophanes. Discover Juvenal. Find a copy of Ambrose Bierce and spend an afternoon laughing. Swift, Voltaire, Twain, Orwell, Moliere, and Chaucer paint human pathos in wry sepia tones that makes this slog called life somewhat bearable.

Marquette basketball is meant to be a pleasant diversion. Comparing it to loftier or weightier matters is not drama. Indeed, who in fact is being overly dramatic?

True, and for this reason, since Kenosha Warrior seems to be on the ledge regarding MU Ball, and since his identity seems tied to how the team performs, let him cool off for a while.  Let him get some perspective and then have him come back.

I have no idea what Kenosha said or did but in practice, diversity of opinion fuels dialogue for the better. The momentum here is for conversation to feed a dialectic into synthetic Hegelian solutions . These neatly pre-determined conclusions satisfy the bullies who drive discourse through bluff and blunder.

My observation is that anyone who dares utter a contrary view, position or thought is branded as a traitor, idiot, or worst of all a "trolling badger."

Sometimes an alternative perspective is warranted. And at all times it is refreshing.

Nah, I'm just not blinded by hatred for others to make me ignore their accomplishments.  KO was a jerk, but he did good things for MU.  TC a jerk, but did great things for MU.  Hoop can speak for himself.

[GGGG]

Hoop can speak for himself.

Actually...he can't.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Actually...he can't.

Sure he can.  He told me he is banned and he has no plans of signing up under a different name.  I'll bet he would come back if unbanned.  Brad Forrester was back not long ago.

Based on your illustration, I'd say that the Mensheviks got it in the end

Sigh

Time to adjust the meds again!
