Socialist cock suckers are my favourite kind.
I don't reckon mjs was usually anywhere near as bad as you all made him out to be. Just a casual observation here, but many wouldn't hesitate to get ad hominem with him for what seemed like his taking a contrary position. Over time he absorbed a lot more personal insults than seemed warranted to me, and he rarely seemed to throw them back. It rather smacked of an intolerance. There was an intimation that he wasn't what he claimed to be, but how would people know that?
Anyway, just an observation. Sounds like he just got fed up and threw a strop at the end.
I agree with Brad. He wasn't a bad poster but if he put up porn then he had to go.
He admitted himself (eventually) that he was on various forums and his MO was to simply take the opposing stand point for an argument. Most of us pretty much already knew that though.
That said, a meltdown like that could only come from actually believing what he was saying.
The moron.
Yeah I remember that. If it is done right, someone playing a devil's advocate can a lot to the discussion. I don't think mjs was smart enough to pull it off. But what I was saying is that he wasn't a bad poster either. I think he got some undeserved stick from a group of posters on here that seemed to follow him around.
I didn't see this till after but if he posted porn then there's no arguing with the decision.
That's a bit of a silly thing to say, IMO. This is the CE. There are a lot of regulars, and not that many threads. People are invariably going to end up in the same thread.
His hangup on who paid taxes in America was really weird.
Well, look on the bright side. The prevailing theory that all right-wingers in the CE eventually have a meltdown and get banned continues!
Jaz should be worried.

Well? Anyone?
Do we actually know if mjs was British in the first place? Hell, do we know he was a United supporter? He could be on RAWK for all we know![]()
He was Irish? Oh. I never saw him talk about that, so I just assumed. I mean, you guys are practically British anyway, so I'm okay with my mistake.

Why, is that what being Irish feels like?
Meltdowns are funny. I missed the porn though, but it appears that would be a good thing, so that's cool.
So Mjs was Irish then? Explains a lot.
Wow so MJS finally imploded? Im sorry I missed this meltdown because apart from Grinner I think its only me who was a regular contributor to that thread that was a foreigner who lived and paid taxes in America. I called MJS out early in the election thread, back in late summer I believe, he was just too negative and critical of Obama and his chances of re-election. It just didnt fit with him saying he was a Democrat.
Im amazed that he is an Irishman by birth, we are mostly socialist cocksuckers by nature, he must have been brainwashed by the white old rich Floridians that surrounded him.
Anyway what a sad and inglorious way to end his Redcafe existence![]()
Anyway, back to the point. I'm all in favor of raising taxes on the rich in principle, especially when we face budget deficits. However, I don't think we should raise them until we are out of the recession. I suspect Obama feels the same and is smartly playing the politics on this to paint the GOP as only being interested in saving tax cuts for the rich.
