The same flame wars between the same players, pre Boardhost, since MSN days, persists.
It never ends because they don't want it to end. 

Here’s another way not to be a jerk: Don’t use Ken’s board to attack the Blue Board by posting attacks on Wordle.

How pathetic is that?  Literally NO ONE is trying to get you to play Wordle, Mongo.  Play your own little game and shut the hell up.

More evidence of his pathetic jealousy of positive relationships among others, and his desperate need to disrupt them.

Sad..

Conversations in and of insanity that persisted for more than two decades across two or three different host platforms. Expectation that will change is the insanity of a different outcome from repetition of the same conversations, if they can be called that. A few trite lines of disparagement and insult, or endless cut and paste articles to steer and direct conversation, over a few paragraphs of meaningful personal experience predictably attracts more "traffic" and more "conversation." At a glance this cast of characters and their topical arguments seldom changes or varies. Most aren't worth a glance. 

FWIW I am trying to spend more time taking out the trash. People dogging Merlin only to insult are being deleted. "I'm right, you're wrong" is being deleted. Self-aggrandizing and attention seeking is being deleted. I'm sure the people who insist on such posts will think the moderation will get lax and go away. The only thing holding me back is the inability to read every post. I'm trying to write my new book and hold down 4 clients. So be patient with me and tap my shoulder if I miss something in my scans
 

Life is too short and too fragile to worry so much about idjits that obviously crave and can't live without the attention of strangers.  They enjoy trolling. Screw 'em all with an incurable crotch itching pox.

Mongo continues his favorite practices-using the DNR to prevent criticism, violating it at will, then whining about ‘violations’ against him.

Anyone know who is this "Just asking" as—hole on Ken's board?

I suspect it's HeavyHemi under disguise.

Proof # 39416 that Mongo simply cannot tolerate disagreement, only cares about his OWN DNRs, and doesn’t belong on any board he doesn’t operate.

Whiny b@stard.

Mongo needs to get a life outside of these boards. He's pathetic. "Poor thing" (a la DeeDee DumbDumb)

HH is there with Ken's full knowledge. Too bad mongo doesn't like it. Overall, Mongo is a dozen times more toxic than HH will ever be.

Mongo is 80ish. Surely THIS crap isn't all he has to entertain himself with? 

He doesn't ever really discuss anything like most of us do, even other disruptors, on the boards. All he does is criticize, attack, and disrupt any place he sees functioning decently. He's that fat, nasty punk on every city block who looks for anyone else enjoying themselves or any group functioning well to smash or disrupt it so they are as unhappy as he is. His daily life sucks, so yours has to as well.

He brings NOTHING of value to any board. His droppings are toxic OR designed to "impress" to feed his starving ego! Most just yawn at his bragging and laugh at his ridiculous pretentiousness.

He sucks in and consumes all of the oxygen on any board he wanders on to. It's PATHETIC how desperately needy he is for attention or admiration from total strangers he has absolutely no respect for. Imagine how much he grovels for a photo with a celebrity or pretty woman so he can pretend that they even know his name. It speaks volumes about his desperately low self esteem. 

He's a JOKE.

He's tRUMP's proverbial twin.

I respect your opinion.  I used to like and respect Ken.

Not anymore.  IMO he not only backstabbed me, but acted dishonestly, then blamed me for being angry.

I could run that board better than him, too.  But so could an anteater..

Ah well, it’s not like the board’s that worthwhile a place anymore.  That’s the only reason I look in - it’s a trainwreck, hard to look away from.

ps - I see Mongo got HH/just asking banned for three months - for the kind of DNR violation Mongo is guilty of there all the time.  I was initially banned SEVEN months because of a DNR Ken imposed on GOG and myself. Any wonder I hate DNRs?

To be fair, the DNR violations was only one of the stated reasons: "I'm tired of your abuse, insults, and DNR violations." 

I think Ken is looking at overall post content here. That is, Mondo posts a lot of things that are not attacks on other posters. Yes, some are thinly-veiled politics, but if that got posters banned, the forum would be nearly deserted. But my point is that there is other content. HH, on the other hand, seldom posts anything other than attacks, although also to be fair (to a poster I have a long history of conflict with), I noticed that he was actually contributing real content lately. I think this is a critical differentiation, although that's obviously for Ken to say.

Select posters predictably respond to other posters with nothing but snarky criticism or disparagement, and they dominate discussion. A few deliberately launch threads with predictable material that draws snarky criticism and disparagement. It is a vicious circle ongoing for decades that never ends. They appear bound and determined to do this until they die. 

Two days ago I posted a piece about a concern permeated with ethics issues. Three poster against whom I have DNRs are incapable of any kind of rational response to this or any other issue. The others either don't care, are more concerned about protection of their politics and political leaders than the loss of American freedoms at the hands, beck and call of the American oligarchy, or want to show everyone how smart they are. 

I am not very smart by complaining about this. Smart people fled a long time ago and are doing something else. We may have a tiny speck of agreement or support, which may keep us coming back, hopeful that our perspectives are more commonly American than it appears. We're also mostly elders who lived and experienced the free democratic republic of The United States, expressing our concerns about its relentless erosion at the hands and influence of the American oligarchy.

It broke my heart to learn These "people" acquired these mountains as their private property due to alleged ownership based on mining claims and land grants that predated Colorado statehoood, or establishment of public lands through the National Forests, and Bureau of Land Management.

Several other Colorado 14er summits were located on mining claim land, and CFI members raised money to "buy" a few summits with intent to keep them open.

One newcomer landowner, an assh0le from Texas bought the Silver Pick mine claim property and attempted to extort $200 per climber from those crossing his land to access Wilson Peak, Mt. Wilson and El Diente. That closed the Silver Pick access. The best alternative since was a very long trek from other relatively distant trailheads to loose, dangerous sides of these mountain, unsuitable for safe climbing.

My take as a native is these peaks are our heritage, and they should not be privately owned. For years and years, Decalibron was never an issue. But thanks to a few *&^%$#@! lawyers and a feckless land owner... who also happens to own Colorado's oldest tree and is building some access road somewhere ABOVE the tree that threatens it, while not allowing ANYONE to even SEE the tree, a 3,600 year old bristlecone pine, our mountain heritage is threatened with the exact same practice why public land is so scarce in the east.

This is one of the three mountains that closed to public access earlier this week. Mt. Lincoln, 14,293'. Imagine if Mt. Rainier, Mt Shasta, or Mt. Hood was suddenly privately owned due to a pre existing mining claim that predated the State and National Forest and National Park, and the landowner closed them due to liability risk? Problem is so much corruption is happening, we can't fight it all. Not enough of us, and we lack the resouces. Furthermore, the opposition has a quiver of "alternate facts" supportive of the corruption.

Join that with the mindless snarkyism of back and forth R&E exchanges, the American oligarchy wins. America loses. Soon we'll be dead and we handed off to our children an American dream turned into a nightmare.

Agreed.  Privatizing of nature is the OPPOSITE of what should happen (and what more progressive American leaders like Teddy Roosevelt have always done)…

Pikes: I'm outraged that this sort of thing happens...there's so much crap resulting from 19th Century mining laws in this country. 

Sia, who was in the hospital for spinal surgery to relieve her from chronic, debilitating pain she endured for years, from a bad accident, who sank into a coma with multiple organ failure, and is just now recovering well enough to read and be here a little. What a lovely "welcome back!"  It take some kind of person to kick another when down and injured. 

Poppet, it's more than just the 19th century mining laws. They're combined with the late 20th Century, early 21st Century land acquisition practices and methods to not only further enrich the rich, but enable them to do close "their" land, free and open to Americans for generations until "they" arrived. This feckless piece of ____ is a trump republican, literally behind the efforts of Lauren Boebert all the way. Surprized?

SIA: Pikes, I am STILL in the hospital. I am not yet even "stable", but much better than last week's coma. 

I did NOT defend anything HH posts.  I have no idea what he'd posted. My ISSUE is that mongo CONSTANTKY violates my DNR against him, basically with impunity. Big deal, his crap is removed a day or two later, when it's already half way to falling off the page. NOTHING ever said to him. Finally, after I complained that it was too little too late, Ken posted a friendly reminder to him not o violate DNRs. B F D! He got away with it and he will CONTINUE to get away with it forever. I feel as you do. WHY BOTHER WITH R&E when mongo constantly attacks me regardless of my DNR, but FLIPS OUT when HH does it to him??

WHY is Ken afraid to put mongo in his place?

As for his idiotic claim that greenman is the worst of the worst, that's a flat out lie! Greenman can be unpleasant when angry. But NO ONE is as vicious as mongo.  Even HH. as nasty as he can be, does NOT go to the lengths mongo does.

I did NOTHING but complain that it is not fair to coddle mongo in spite of his terrible behavior and relentless attacks, but punish someone for doing EXACTLY what mongo constantly does.

WHY should only mongo get "justice"???

Speaking of my healing, it appears that my kidneys are working and likely don't have any permanent damage. Ditto my liver. Can't say the same for my intestines or bladder. Didnt need blood transfusion today. Hemoglobin seems to have stabilized finally. My temp has been 3 points over normal all week and white blood cells gone crazy. I'm staring down an infection, but so far, not sure where yet.
