...about Art...(and ER even stated this once)...was that both felt TB had a Conservative agenda that, especially Art, was convinced...reached the masses through the Habitable Zone. He considered TB a *major* threat, and Art felt it was his civic duty to make heads roll should anyone dare to agree or consider TB's point of view....and I dare say Art lost sleep with some of TB's posts.

...oddly enough...the way Art handled the whole TB debates was a major reason I loathe Art's style. He was vile, mean and nasty...and imo was always screaming. He kept saying he was a kind caring man in real life...and perhaps this is true. All I can go on is what I witness here on the Zone...and Art was a pain in the ass.

Considering we are now in a closed forum setting, and Tom is still here...I wonder how Art would turn it around and make it look like TB was trying to overthrow Obummer, single handedly?

OMG...Art would have a coronary with some of the stuff I have said.

I tried being a *Democrat* when I was dating a fervent Democrat. It felt wrong the whole time because for me, it *was* wrong.

I am a conservative, republican, libertarianish person, intrinsically.
