I think the issue they had with me was not my being a cop but rather that i had a job and that i didnt blame others for mistakes that i had made, though some on the DU where good people (Tangerine being one, though we disagreed a lot) i quickly figured the majority where nuts or just complete losers and then some where wired to the moon, Bobbo and UGP being the craziest at least in my mind.
Ah, Tangerine LaBamba of blessed memory.
She's my literary muse, sir.
She was a member here, but alas for too short a time.
I'll never forget it; it was near Christmas 2009, and I had gotten up in the middle of the night to let one of the cats outdoors. It was one of those winter nights when the sky was filled with stars, and of course there were multi-colored lights flickering inside this house. It was all very nice, very comfortable.
I logged on here to see what was going on, and lo and behold, there was Tangerine LaBamba herself, trying to figure out the layout of conservativecave. She and some others and I had a long long long conversation, and it was delightful, it was as if an early Christmas present.
But then alas she departed this time and place a few days later.
By the way, sir, speaking as an outsider, I don't think the bobbling primitive and the subway cat were really the "craziest" primitives; EMataHari (sfexpat2000, now EFerrari) immediately comes to mind. And of course Pedro Picasso (Atman) is by far the stupidest.
