VERY late to this thread, but I was also present on the JW thread, and you posted the FACTS exactly as they happened.

As a fairly new poster (long time reader of articles only) I was surprised that Registered kept asking over and over and over whether Howlin had voted. He didn't seem to be participating in the thread, to me, beyond wanting to needle Howlin.

He didn't seem to be participating in the thread, to me, beyond wanting to needle Howlin.

So true. If you look back at the majority of Registered's post, they are very short remarks that are either attempting to be funny or personal fighting; very seldom any substance.

I had a feud with him some time back when during an argumentative exchange, he claimed that if I posted 10 things I had done to help elect Bush, he could name 50 that he had done.

Aside from being very ironic to think about in light of his Bush bashing of present, it was delightfully amusing.

I posted 10 and then asked him to post his 50. He squirmed for two days trying to avoid it. But following a little pressure after his boasting so strongly, he felt he had to post something.

I am not kidding when I tell you that he actually posted things such as:

1. Put bumper sticker on car
2. Put bumper sticker on wife's car
3. Put yard sign up
4. Argued with fellow workers in defense of Bush
5. Etc.

It was embarrassingly idiotic, but then I can't say I was really surprised.
