There was a post by a guy named Flowers that was a a pretty viscious attack on one of our members. There are a couple of other threads going at the moment discussing who Flowers might be. It's very high drama.

In Miscellaneous - which you may have the good taste to have avoided - we sometimes have threads that are as robust, pungent even, as the occasional epoxy v. 19th century threads that have come up here.

There are some political threads that have wandered off into one side offering up name calling while the side of sweet reason tries to stay on topic - heh heh heh - Of course it's all too easy to get away from the point and to keep blaming everything on Benjamine Harrison's maladept administration.

But fringe though that was, a thread or so got going where the only point appeared to be one person attacking another. There is a theory that both people might be the same person, but that's another matter.

Scott's well taken point was that we really are part of a community/family here. We can be vigorous and perhaps a little blunt, but no hitting.

You're referring to William Henry Harrison (Tippacanoe & Tyler Too!)

Benjamine, my great great grandfather, was tucked in between Cleavland's two terms. He'd been quite a blood and thirsty Union general but was said to have a personality so coldly repellant that anyone who shook his hand would walk away a Democrat. Prior to the current Shrub, he was the only president to win despite popular vote loss.

Old Tip, by the way, was not only the oldest man elected to the White House prior to Regan, but he had thw shortest term in office. He gave his innaugural in a sleat storm with his hat off and died of pneumonia a month or so later. Pretty tough to have lingered that long.

So here am I descended from one president who's claim to fame was the slaughter of some native american women and children, another who was the best president a Wall Street cabal could buy -- well, little wonder I come by my radicalism honestly.
