Not that post in particular. The comment that people who are still thinking of voting for the UCP deserve to have their faces smashed in was a “are you okay, man” moment. There have been others. Getting that angry about politics can’t be healthy.

Not sure I see the value in piling on Fuzz for their posting. I mean you could PM them if you want. We don't need to turn this thread into a personal attack on a poster.

I do agree with this. If discussing politics starts triggering anger, it's time to take a step back. I don't want to pick on anyone because it's not constructive and I wouldn't have said this if others didn't bring it up but I have also noticed Fuzz seems to be getting a little consumed with politics of late. I get that it's always a hot button topic but at the end of the day it's just politics which is something we all have very little control over outside of our vote.

How about in the future we just use the quote function on the the appropriate post. That way nobody is wondering what the problem was with calling out Shandro.

What I dont understand is how Tyler Shandro is a thinking, breathing, living autonomous electable human being, nor how, being obviously thoroughly unemployable, he found himself falling ass-backwards into a Government job.

Was he actually elected? By people?

I do not condone violence or even violent language to elected officials and people who hold office but Tyler Shandro, on several occasions no less, has me seriously considering making an exception.

I think I dislike Shandro more than Kenney and that takes considerable doing.

Just here checking in with Fuzz to see how he’s doing. This is the spot we pretend to be concerned about a poster by speaking about them as though this is a private conversation they’re not part of and never by just reaching out to them like normal people right?

Cool. Cool. Hope Fuzz is ok after using all that violent language. I hear he’s mad triggered. Don’t tell him I said that though.

I was just waiting for them to all finish psychoanalyzing me before jumping back in.



If I'm passionate, it's because I care about our province. If I post news indicating the Muppet brigade has made yet another poor decision that negatively impacts the less fortunate it is because I think people need to be aware. If I mention their proximity to feces it's because they put themselves there.

How many PMs from concerned citizens did you get about your “alarming” behaviour, if I might ask?

Just wait until they hear the story of someone visiting someone’s house to confront disapproving comments posted online. Though, I suppose maybe it’s best they didn’t. If violent language gives them a case of the woozies, hearing of about an actual confrontation might make them expire right here in front of us. My oh my!

[Fuzz]

Zero! Big concern. The most.


I guess in this day and age I might need to worry about someone doxing me or something. People be crazy.

[PepsiFree]

I’m sure they sent you letters.

Their concern is in the mail, Fuzz. 15-20 business days and you’ll know just how much they really were concerned.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Fuzz is also a bully. Look at this ridiculous portrait he made for my avatar. My legs aren’t even close to that long.

[iggy_oi]

I may be in the minority here but I’ve found the quality of Fuzz’s political commentary has improved exponentially compared to before the last election.

[FormerPresJamesTaylor]

You're not in the minority, iggy_oi, the posts by Fuzz are simply some of the best of the forum. Their frank style of posting is honest and refreshing, I've spoken to he/him recently and they are interested is joining me in my extensive volunteer work, that takes guts and humility that few have in them to do.

Speaking of Fuzz and his "haters" I recently had a beer with peter12, we sat down and discussed several things, over a beer, together, lol, good man. BEER TOGETHER. peter admitted that he was wrong about Fuzz and apologized for the greif he gave the forum and took full responsibility over our beer together, HE OWES ME A BEER

If the UCP hasn’t angered you, you’re not paying attention.

[Geraldsh]

Fuzz must be totally discombobulated, I see him being referred to as they/them.

I’m willing to bet there’s a few people in that group of un-angered who are probably profiting from this mess.

[powderjunkie]

Imagine clutching pearls about salty criticism of the UCP.

If I had only two bullets in my assault style weapon and found myself in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Shandro...I won't tell you how I'd allocate them because I don't want to trigger the snowflakes.

I've got plenty of space in my PMs though if anyone feels I'm in need of a wellness check.

[dsavillian]

On another topic, what's the deal with Craig Chandler getting ousted from Smith's campaign? I haven't found much except some twitter rumblings and a vague tweet from Smith's campaign.

And he filed a (SLAPP) lawsuit against Duane Bratt?

What a winner.

[surferguy]

I bet Fuzz is pissed at Shandro because Shandro was meant to take his pile of clay but instead yelled at Fuzz on his driveway that the clay wasn’t good enough.
