It was after he left OWA. I made some comment that included a pretty minor dig at the Aggies and poked at least as much fun at UT. He unfriended me and when I asked him about it in PMs he said that he was sick of people slamming his school, his religion, etc. Alrighty then.
What have I often said? There is a very certain subset of people who absolutely thrill to play the victim.

I didnāt know that. That is pretty sweet.
Of course Zipp did the same initially.
Can you imagine? You get to Austin and look around and decide, Nope, I just donāt feel comfortable here. I think Iād do better at the place whose cheerleaders are guys dressed up like they work at Brake Check.

He did pretty much the same thing to me. It must be tough being a sensitive Aggie.
I noticed the LSU diploma on my dogās Veterinarianās wall and asked her why she chose LSU. She (a woman of color from Tyler Texas) said because she wanted to go some place close to her home and didnāt want to live in College Station or Stillwater.
He did the same thing to me, too, which stands to reason, I suppose, since I can be somewhat outspoken in my views on certain topics that some deem sensitive.
But Neil, man, youāre the most conflict averse guy in here.
Not always. Iāve seen Neil defend his turf.
But itās silly. Itās not like he didnāt know any of us before Facebook.
Iām not suggesting heās a defenseless sort; heās a lawyer ffs. Iām just saying heās the last person around here to deliberately antagonize someone.
Just so long as you donāt get sideways with him over tying flies. I wonāt be making THAT mistake again any time soon.
I just re-read my post and discovered that I split an infinitive. Now I can retire for the evening knowing that Iāve annoyed Limey. Seems like a cheerful end to a productive day, what what.
When Neil was defending his turf it was due to some gentlemen behind us at a game talking about their penis. He didnāt think it was appropriate. I think he was right about that and other matters.
Iād never criticize anyoneās flies Iām a lady that way
Iām fairly certain it has to do with ending up with an office full of Aggies
And here I was thinking it was a direct reference to the Zipp.
I figured my quip about A&M was inside the lines, but there were other things going on.
Reports now stating that Trump is going to nominate Judge Serena Joy.
Iāve never heard of her.
She has a solid legal resume, but her only judicial experience came after Trump nominated her for the federal court three years ago. Her nomination was passed out of committee 11-9 and she was confirmed by the full Senate 55-43. Apparently, now sheās ready to make the leap to the Supreme Court.
She has very strong religious views around abortion, and believes in the patriarchal model for families.
If itās her, the pick is entirely designed to shore up Trumpās base. So heās still going to lose in 5 weeks, because this isnāt going to gain him any new voters, but we get Justice Coney Barrett for decades.
I have heard of her.
Despite McConnellās reckless pace to confirm Amy Coney Barrett, her extremist religious past is going to catch up to her.
It. Will. Not. Matter.
