Final Approach
Just wondering if he's doing ok ...
My guess is that that's a VERY good guess...My guess is he won't be returning.
Within those posts lies the beginnings of a good screen play!Was JD ever really here or was that just a character he was playing?
Geez, Ken - we're really gonna have to stop agreeing like this ... we have reputations to think of! Well said.Within those posts lies the beginnings of a good screen play!
Truthfully, I'm sorry that was the case. No one should ever feel compelled nor the need to carry on in such a way. I enjoyed what I thought was a different kind of input from one who had earned the right to say so more than most.
It inspires me to be proud of the fact I'm a worthless, unknown peon with nothing but a big mouth to my credit.
Wait...I just want to be clear on this. Am I the only one who thought that man was head and shoulders above most? I liked his articulate straight shooting. Seemed like a genuine class act to me.
Alas, it would appear that he was in fact a complete fraud. But who knows?
Let's be fair. There was an accusation of him being a fraud and he has not defended himself of that charge. But that being said I also know there were some holes in his story from my personal knowledge that made me stop and question some of the claims he was making. At this point I remain cautiously skeptical.
For those unfamiliar with JD............
'Nuff said.
Heck, had that really been a thirteen-year-old kid spouting some of those comments and ideologies, I'd say we need to track this kid down as he's future presidential material!PS There is nothing wrong with 13 year old kids; however, if the person in question was one it would have been funny. That's why I asked the question.
snort...cough....uh, I'm old alright.Ha! You know your an old fart when you remember Lady Malibu!
Ha! You know your an old fart when you remember Lady Malibu!
For those unfamiliar with JD, suffice it to say that after a public post here by a member of an organization of current and former Special Operations Forces personnel regarding a couple of public posts JD had made suggesting JD had SOF experience, JD stopped posting here. If someone wishes to post anything they hear from or about JD that does not violate either the PoA RoC or any rights JD has, please feel free. However, I would remind folks to be cautious in making statements which could be considered derogatory about JD or any other current/former POA member, and I think that saying that he was a fraud could be so interpreted unless the person saying that has evidence that meets legal standards of proof to support his contention.
'Nuff said.
Will anyone get Ron to post a picture of his legs again?
Ha! You know your an old fart when you remember Lady Malibu!
I thought there was more to the story.....something like him really being a 13 year old kid or something along those lines . I was getting visions of a grander scheme.
JD was a liar and a fraud.
I exposed him when he claimed to have been in the Falklands pulling me and my colleagues out of the water after we were sunk on Sir Tristram.
At the time I knew of no US special forces on the islands, and my subsequent research has confirmed this.
I am very happy to state that JD was an absolute fraud and I have the facts to back up my assertion.
There were many other inconsistencies in his posts, but this one is for sure.

You know..the red board was a lot of fun back then. I especially enjoyed the chats... I can remember marathon chat sessions lasting well into the night...I guess I'm getting to old to stay up that late any more.
Naw, that would be Tom D. , not Desjardin.
If that was a slam on me you are waisting your time.
Why are you feeling slammed? I have a slight case of paranoidia latelyIt happened, all part of the internet experiance and of fond memories.
For all who may not know what this is about; it is a past moment. I hold NC19143 in the highest regard for his very real contributions to GA. As I've said before,Tom contributes real value here, I come just to flap my gums.
Me too
You are a gent (if a somewhat crotchety one) Tom! I didn't mean to slam, just a friendly poke in the rib with a cyberfriend from way back.
Bye the way, I finally got to try Chilliwack's pies in '05. WOW. Except everytime I've been there the weather has sucked for flying. Will be up again this June for a weekend and I'll try again.
Turns out my business partners family split into the Pacific Northwest clan and the New England clan. For a week we will be honorary Ferraro's for the big reunion in Vancouver then we board for an Alaska cruise. Jean and I have wanted to see the Alaskan glaciers as a 'life list' item and now we get to do it! What is our on-shore excursion??? A Beaver-on-floats trip over the galciers and to a riverside lodge for lunch - can't wait!
G'night, it's getting late on this side.
I also remember those nights,
Bootsie, Moxie, MAJ, Sam DeFazio, Tommy Zecha, John Larurance, speed, you, me, yes even old B.K. Peshak. It was fun, even if it was clunky, and drop you off line sorta fun.

Hey .. you forgot me, Eamon, CarolT. and Lady Malibu.

Hey! What about me? I stumbled into the scene in early 2000... crikes 7 years ago
Nothing like making a guy feel like chopped liver Roger
