Herb, I hope you are just on a long vacation, resting up for the upcoming conventions.

I miss your comments.

Herb's been posting a lot on another forum. You can view his latest stuff at:

Ha, Ha

Ohhhh you bastard.

Hi Radioblogman.

In all honesty, I lost much of my interest in this site when a poster stated he wished the death of a person he opposed politically. That did it for me.

It occured in the past month or so, if anyone wishes to pull it up to verify it. Take care-

Herb

Hey Herb, don't let one bad apple spoil it for ya man.

Listen to Donnie "Darktemper" Osmond, Herb. One Bad Apple: Truth.

And, if one were to search for this post, what would one search for?

It's even worse than I remember, for the post is about the demise of not one, but two other human beings, on political grounds:

'...Dobson is an embarrassment. Net loss. Hope God calls him home, with Robertson sooner rather than later....His only redeeming quality is that I'm quite sure he will die first, so I have some time here knowing he does not...'

I'm shocked that that's all it took!

I am opposed to him (Dobson) but not just politically. I'll add that I am opposed to him religiously, and as a fellow human as well. He's evil.

However I don't believe that hoping that "God calling him home" is the same thing as "wishing him dead".

And I wouldn't be surprised if God doesn't want want him upstairs, so Dobson probably doesn't need to worry much.

Herb...welcome back...yes gets pretty hostile here once in a while but gotta love all the radio geeks that share their world views...actually pretty tame lately...was away on vacation from the PC last week...kinda got withdrawl away from the screen for 4 days but I made it!

Herb, I would never come back at all if you left. You were the main reason I never completely left after the Okie disaster.

You're very kind, Radioblogman.

Herb

I think that for all of us, there are times where it would be beneficial to count to three, instead of posting hurtful words in the heat of passion. I can't say that I would ever really wish anyone dead--not even Fidel Castro himself. I believe that the only thing that would be accomplished by said wishes would be making me look like a jerk.

"I would ever really wish anyone dead--not even Fidel Castro himself."

How about Osama bin Laden?

Would it have been appropriate to wish Saddam Hussein, or Hitler dead?

How about abortionists?

I've posted this before, and I'll post it again now. Missing is loosing it. He's taking this stuff far too serious. I hope he will think this through and get back on track.

I think the world would benefit from the early demise of Rev. Fred Phelps. I also think Pol Pot didn't leave soon enough. I don't think this makes me a jerk.

As for Deane, I suppose it takes someone who is derailed to know one then. Is that what you're saying?

As for Herb, he's his old hypocritical self - associated with organizations that from time to time KILL people when they don't get their way, yet at the same time bitchin about a poster here wishing someone dead. He's a troll. And not only that, he's turning more people away from God than any other poster in this forum ever.

Herb's absence benefits the forum and religion in general.

The racist is back to hugs and kisses.

I think I will find somewhere else to spend my time.

Adieu.

Herb needs to follow his conscience. With that said, I don't find Missing’s comment the least bit offensive. Pat Robertson and James Dobson are big boys, they can handle the remarks. Both men throw rhetorical bombshells all the time at their political and religious opponents without regard to who gets hurt. It’s their stock and trade. Plus they’ve got millions of dollars in earnings riding on it. Robertson and Dobson don’t live like missionary paupers. They are big business. And too, some publicity, even for a TV preacher/diamond merchant and a pseudo psychologist, is better than no publicity at all. Honestly, I've read MUCH worse – from both Robertson and Dobson.

Nooooo, Littlesongs! Say it ain't so!

Please note that only 2 guys are slobbering all over and giving him tongue.

I vote for you to stay.

FOR THAT?

Pussies.

There just is no nice way to put it.

I think the real problem lies in being unable to defend nut-bags like Dobson to rational people, not afraid to tell it like it is.

If you are looking for some contrition regarding those remarks, know you will never, ever get it.

"Ok Dad, Saddam is dead now. Does that mean things are gonna get better?"

Son, there are no guarantees in this life, but bad things happen to evil men who torture and oppress their people.

Probably not PC enough for many on this board, though.

Herb



Apparently, Saddam's death is the only one that can be welcomed or deemed 'deserved'.

I guess Missing was not PC enough for Herb. What a hypocrite.

Context people, context:

Littlesongs,I know you would never utter those words lightly, my friend.

Please reconsider.

Okay, everyone take a step back from the PC;

Breathe, Breathe...

There now, don't you feel better?

Let's all try and find higher ground.

> How about Osama bin Laden?

It is my opinion that a great deal of closure would be achieved by his being caught. Most likely, the result would be an eventual execution. However I believe that my "wishing" or "hoping" for a certain outcome matters not one whit. I am too old to be a cheerleader.

But you look so adorable in that short skirt!

Don't give me any ideas!

There is always the Utilikilt!

http://www.flickr.com/photos/yoz/28326963/

(Yeah, it's a safe link)

Saw some guy wearing one of these yesterday in the Rite-Aid on 185th. Bizzare.

Utilikilts look cool, but they are VERY expensive!! The last time that I was at a promotional booth for the Libertarian Party, the Utilikilts folks had a booth next to us. The kilts they had on display were roughly in the $150-$200 price range.

A guy in my church makes his own kilts and occasionally wears them there but hey...we're way off topic...Herb has approached celeb status for someone to start a "concerned" thread about him...God Bless Herb!

To be honest, I've found the sudden lack of religious bullshit to be quite refreshing. I was getting ready to exit myself if it continued.

And, I'm going to call a spade a spade here. I think Herb has hit the road because he can no longer back up his rhetoric.

"I think Herb has hit the road because he can no longer back up his rhetoric."

Why now?
He hasn't been able to do that for years.

The one thing that I could not respect about Herb is that he refused to meet face-to-face with any other participants of the message board. The only explanation he offered was, "I'm just a shy guy." Herb could have very easily been a fictional character whose posts were ghostwritten by another board participant for the fun of it. Coincidentally, does anybody remember the "find Herb and win money" promotion that one of the national fast food chains did in the mid 1980s?

Burger King. But I don't think the campaign was very successful. He was a small, geeky guy. If I were to envision a flasher, he would fit the bill.

Vitalogy, Merkin, and Missing kskd

why cant god call these morons home?

Here to be "salt and light" to a spiritually dark world. My life is in His hands.

Marvin, because that works like voodoo does; only, if you believe it will.

What I remember about the Herb promotion was that some very vague clues were given out, but no photos of Herb were ever shown on TV. I am not sure if customers who thought that they had spotted Herb were supposed to approach Herb or if they were supposed to tell a staff member. In either case, the promotion seems a bit dimwitted to me because potentially, it could have led to male patrons who fit the description being harassed and thus alienated from eating at Burger King or to restaurant staff having to deal with extra interruptions.

..."There is always the Utilikilt.....

they don't seem to offer it as a mini, nor in pink leather..........

That pretty much leaves out Trixter.

Maybe!

Could get pink tools and belt!

Then you'd also have to get pink Doc Martens...Dang, you guys are lookin' HOT!
