You are quite the lemming these days.
He proposed as proof that CNN published false stories was the fact that they had fired some reporters for writing falsehoods into their stories. I called that bullshit.

All Heil Lord Trump! If Trump says it's so all the lemmings agree. CNN doesn't report the type "news" Trump wants to retweet . . . you know lies, propaganda, conspiracy theories and racist talking points. He wants more faux and less facts as do his ever so faithful followers.
He is a local North County businessman whom I met on a skier's newsgroup that was infested with an asshole named Scott Abraham who tried to use his position as a ski industry insider (he ran the website for K2 skis, one of the first online customer-service websites back in the 90's) to coerce favors from newsgroup posters. K2 eventually found out and fired him, so he blamed anyone who had criticized his behavior on the newsgroup (including both of us). SA is still out there posting insults about anyone who tries to use the newsgroup.
My ex-friend is a lifetime Republican who has apparently gone nuts trying to support t on issues where he should know better. I valued our friendship from the skiers newsgroup enough that I just silently tolerated him, but today he really got into it in a discussion with another poster, and when I pointed out his illogical position on CNN's firing the reporters, he took offense and threatened to unfriend me if I didn't back down. Guess how that worked out. I responded that after almost dying on my living room floor last week I had no patience left for online bullshit - then he disappeared from my Facebook view.
I don't remember much about Wednesday afternoon through Saturday, but I know I went to Poway Walmart Saturday to get a prescription filled because I have the dated pill bottle. Sunday I went with my 2 sons to watch one of my niece's games at the Del Mar Polo Grounds, which I know because I have a dated picture --

You seem to attract assholes.
I wonder why.

Like you?
You almost got that right - I don't run away from assholes. That's how the whole Scott Abraham thing got so bad - so bad that I made a point of bringing it up during job interviews, just in case they were going to do an online history search. I guess it is no longer unusual for people to be the target of internet assholes, but in 2000 or so it was just a beginning thing.
Brief history - I had internet access at work starting around 1992 - SAIC had an early www page associated with their support of San Diego Yacht Club's America's Cup defense (executives of the company who were SDYC members gave so much money to the defense that we got to have the actual Cup in its plexiglass traveling case at the annual stockholders meeting and other employee meetings for a couple of years). In 1996 Cox Cable started offering internet access in Poway where we lived and I was one of the first to sign up. One of the first things I did online was to look up skiing resources, and I discovered the usenet group rec.skiing.alpine. Usenet is a peer-to-peer communication linkage founded about 1980 that allowed users email-like communication grouped in common-interest hierarchies, leading to groups with names like comp.software or sci.physics. Most users were located at universities (and had email and usenet addresses that ended in .edu), government labs (.gov), military installations (.mil), or private companies with government/military contracts that benefitted from or required the connection (.com). Naturally the users also developed spare time newsgroups, which led to the rec.* groups. and rec.skiing had been around for about 10 years by the time I got a home connection (Cox's first home service was cleverly called @Home) and had already had establishment votes for subgroups like rec.skiing.alpine, rec.skiing.nordic, and rec.skiing.snowboard.
Anyway -- the company that provided email and newsgroup services to Cox, @Home.com, went bankrupt after a couple of years so Cox reconfigured its email service as an in-house function. As a result, I lost connection to all Usenet groups for a time, until my sister-in-law, who was a customer service rep for Cox, came to visit near Christmas 1999. She asked me how I liked the service, and when I told her about the loss of connection to usenet she sat down at my keyboard and had me hooked up within a few minutes. Hoo boy! - 1999 had been a big bad year for RSA - because of an incident at Whistler Ski Resort in British Columbia, the group had more or less split into 2 factions - those who supported Scott Abraham (then working as the moderator of K2 Skis web page) and an Australian ski instructor named Anthea Kerrison in an argument over free lift tickets to an obscure Canadian ski resort. Those like me who stumbled in late and tried to mediate things back to the happy community it had once been were quickly swept by SA into the enemy camp. During my absence from the group, things had gotten so bad that people on both sides had been fired from their jobs for abusing their company computer connections, online threats of violence had been posted, SA had brought in a semi-retired lawyer friend Bert Hoff, and the Seattle Police had launched an effort to mediate (SA and BH lived in Seattle, as did some of the other participants). Both sides filed for restraining orders in a Seattle court, and the judge after hearing bioth sides's arguments, ordered SA to stay off usenet and other public computer connections for a year - the first time that had ever happened. SA didn't even slow down - he created several online alternate identities (like Bob Aloobob) who "supported" SA's position in a way that was transparent to anyone who had been paying attention. Totally by accident, in a response to one of my rsa posts after SA's year-long banishment had expired, he admitted being the author of one of the messages I was quoting - one that had been posted by Bob during the period of SA's legal banishment, thus putting him at risk of legal punishment. I ended up being one of SA's online enemies, which after a while became a daily recreation fr both of us - thus the warning to any prospective employer.

I will play along in ignoring the red, bolded, italicized and underlined reading between the lines and simply offer this.
The fellow on the far left appears to me to be a member of the 1%. And given the continuing codes and unwritten ground rules amongst the 1%, I’d go with a certain organization associated with the number 81. Amirite or amirite?
That being said, your restraint in putting up with the cabal of nincompoops here is admirable. And your expectation that the local police are taking your recent assault claim seriously is not factoring in their bias in thinking you’re a full patched rider. Not to mention why the golf course where you’ve been stealing golf balls is reluctant to seek felony charges against you.

Could be a first.
