What was that one guy from way back? He was a National Guard tanker and was an absolute JBT sole licker. And if anyone disagreed with him on anything he would write separate 4-5 paragraph responces to multiple people and then post them all one after the other. View Quote |

I miss steinhab and pre-2016 Sylvan. From the primaries onward he wasn't the same sort of poster.
dport and Lwilde were cool to have around. I would say I miss paris-dakar most of all. Great poster. Not sure why he stopped coming around. I seriously doubt that he was banned. Fatbert was decent, too. Not sure if he was banned or stopped posting. |

No kidding, people here ate it up too, just look at this thread. Post more than a paragraph and they assume you know what you're talking about. OMG he is an info god! With that said, he definitely had his moments on certain military topics and I didn't begrudge him there, and even learned from him. But when he was wrong, he was wrong, and would quickly bombard you with insults, innuendo, and useless information while trying to maintain the specter of authority on the subject.

I have it on good authority that Steinhab is NOT coming back under any circumstances. From another current ban thread: Quoted: I'm the one who banned steinhab, and he is NOT coming back under any circumstances. |

Despite the fact that Sylvan is mostly irrational about the USMC (professional jealousy being what it is and all, and he admitted to it several years ago), I love having him around. A well read and very educated field grade officer, even if a bit abrasive. I don't think he's gone because he's banned, but he's staying away out of frustration just like R0N.
dport, Sylvan, R0N, and a couple of others that are still here contributed significantly to this forum even if I didn't always agree with whatever they posted. Reading the war-college level debate they engaged in during the Obama years was refreshing. Steinab contributed his over-inflated ego and nothing else. Nothing. Less than nothing, in fact. Some of his posts used to make me fucking cringe (insert the universal hand and arm signal for masturbation here). Good riddance. |

I didn’t rewalize so many long time members have been banned. I just saw a thread that said Cobra AK was banned too. I guessed Bradders was banned after not seeing his posts anymore but I’m sure I missed other long time members who got banned

Sylvan, by his own admission, was too fucking lazy to vote in the recent primaries in KS, where the MAGA candidate for governor, just barely won the nomination (by about 200 votes) but would have the gall to show up in political threads and run his mouth about stuff he clearly only had a simpleton's understanding of.

Sylvan was the only one I can think of off the top of my head that I think should be unbanned. Its a joke that the shit stirring poster_s are still on here.

I wasn’t worried about facts. Just enjoyed watching him pummel some people. No clue what the thread was but had me in tears laughing the way he tore into some dude. And with that, I’ve posted way more than my quota for 2018

But his posts remained very informative. |

Having met Sylvan in person a time or two I have to say he is probably better without the site and the site is worse off without him. Then again if that is the atmosphere the owners and their staff want so be it.
