I actually started posting on Columbus Dispatch board in June of 2010, which Topix moderated until 2011 as a gray box, I found Topix from a political site that had both sides opinions which I enjoyed better. I made a lotof friends and enemies there, mostly political topics at that time and actually learned about Columbus, Frankin County and surroundings.
I used to get insults and death threats there as most of those who never agreed with me could not handle me, I was more agressive in 2010 than 2018 with the same style and they would hurl WV insults at me and use me to go off on Robert Byrd, who died while I was on the dispatch board, I shrugged them off and I Felt I won every battle I had there, treating my detractors like they were cartoons. I was the funniest guy in the group I was around. My detractors would go to Princeton board and run their mouth with my gray box name, and never stepped foot into Princeton until late 2011 as Pctn was the location that would show up, later it would change to other locations such as Welch.
Dispatch took off Topix after complaints then I decided to register and tackle the local WV boards, "Weepy" was intended to be a temp name until I found better, name myself after the whiny former speaker John Boehner, who just becamespeaker earlier that year and heard the old Smokey Robinson and miracles song "Tears of a clown" Was playing at the time I cnstructed the account and used itas a tagline. I have no apologies, I did not like Boehner andfelt he would be weak as speaker but that is another story.
Sundog was the first guy I met on Welch , the Welch board was kinda centered around him at the time others that were there eventually left within a year of my arrival with few exceptions, then met "Cookie Parker who was a very different person when I met her, her metamorphous into Kookoo started later in that year when she started fighting GS, who I really did not get to know well until 2012. Gave her a year to change, she would not so I attacked her.
I will leave it there for now, lol.
