Here is a thread to honor Eutrusca, whoI met today. He is funny and cute. So for my 800th, post I'm starting a thread for him.

He remains the single most underrated member of NS. I've seen people get so mean and ugly with this nice guy, and have seen him take the high road too many times to count.

I appreciate the maturity and experience he brings to an otherwise juvenile forum.

Thanks Pappy!

I like him.

and his granddaughters

I was going to let this die but since it's all opinion I will share mine

Eutrusca is a person effected by a superiority complex and who's "partisan hackery" goes ignored because of how he imbeds it. I don't know who else here pays attention but look next time you see a thread by Eutrusca, it is always uplifting the right and putting down the left, whether explicitly or implictly by its nature or source

I like the guy. I respect him. And I'm a liberal.

:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle: for Eutrusca

I don't agree. I also don't think the other posters agree. They have been here much longer than you, and have seen more of him. Besides, I don't have to agree with his views or how he shares them. His superiority complex could come from the fact that he has seen more in his lifetime than most of the posters on this forum. @I hate cows

:eek: Do you think he is a conservative??? [/sarcasm]

Yes, Etrusca's a great guy.

Ditto that, good point well made!

He's cool, for a Republican. I don't like his politics, but that doesn't mean I think he's a total wanker. Unlike some of the forum's Reps.

I'm a foulmouthed atheist dickhead who doesn't always take the high road, so let me point out the obvious...

Doesn't agree with my political philosophy=political hackery.

:rolleyes:

I don't like Eutrusca as well, but he is intitled to have his own opinions even when they differ from mine. nevertheless i still respect him.

In honor, you are to be nice. So if you don't like him, don't post.

A superiority complex, you say? I think you're the one with a superiority complex if you dismiss anything except your own particular viewpoint as "partisan hackery".

Well put, Chicken Pi. :)

Exactly. I take pleasure in squashing ignorant egos whenever appropriate, but I've never gone into one of those "MKUltra/Skapedroe CircleJerk" threads just to call him a whackjob.

That would just be rude.

I wasn't aware this was the "flame me then stand around patting each other on the back" thread

don't make this kind of tread if u can't handle a bit of criticism

In my experience Eutrusca has been kind, thoughtful and reasonable even in his disagreements with others. Few NSers can claim that and it is worthy note that he does so with dignity and tact.

I wasn't aware this was the "flame me then stand around patting each other on the back thread"

I didn't mean it as a flame. I was simply commenting on the fact that you said that Eutrusca has a superiority complex (which could be construed as flaming) simply because his views differ from yours, or so it would seem.

No, but "partisan hackery" is just a euphemisim. It's just another way of saying that you don't like someone because their politics don't agree with you. @ I hate cows

Even though I am not a big poster here, anything I've seen of Eutrusca in the past year, I have liked. I don't necessarily agree with all his views, but in anything I've read, he puts forward said views in intelligent and polite manners.

If you don't like the guy, that's your perogative - but there's no need to publicly bitch about him or anyone else.

Eutrasca is a good guy :)

Always got something intelligent and interesting to say.

I like Etrusca - he is a often a very nice funny guy and a good thinker. He is kind and helpful when he can be.

That being said Cows is correct about some of the threads he starts. Also Etrusca can be quick with ad hominem attacks when posting on somethign he completely disagrees with and leave no debating points to think about (I don't deny I have done the same thing). ALthough, I admit I haven't seen him do that in quite some time and for that I thank you kindly Etrusca. Plus, I have been here for quite some time so I do know what I am talking about.

That being said, Long Live Etrusca and may his leg heal beautifully.

Love,
Me

I really like Eutrusca. We have disagreed on many, many topics but there has always been an air of respect and light-heartedness between us.
He is one of the few people on here who can take their own beliefs seriously, all the while respecting the beliefs of others.

Cheers to Eutrusca, for the entire (albeit short) duration of my NS existence, he has been one of my favorite posters.

That is your opinion

I hope that you can take your own advice.

I hope i can and besides i have never made a tread like this.

Jeeze. comeon now. I'm very flattered, but there's really no need to create an entire thread! :eek:

Well deserve it. I don't have hiccups anymore.

Hey ... when you cease to learn and grow, you begin to die. :)

That's sad! What does that have to do with spelling cool?

Eutrusca's age > all

Alright, TG'd you Poppy. :D
Write me back soon about the web article request, if you can.

He means that spelling cool like that, like having a 20 year old mistress, is one of the many ways he stays young.

Ok. I'm slow.

28th Most Respected NS Poster
Holy shit, that sig is cracking me up. Now I'm wishing I would've gone along with the contest just so I could've gotten a number lower than yours!
Damn!

Eustrusca has a 20 year old mistress???!!! :eek: Wait until someone posts a thread on this news!! :cool:

You do know, don't you, that 20 year old mistresses don't count if you're 21?

I used to have a 21 year old stud muffin, but Mama said I couldn't date him until I graduated from HS.

Holy shit, that sig is cracking me up. Now I'm wishing I would've gone along with the contest just so I could've gotten a number lower than yours!
Damn!

It would have been difficult to get a lower number, I wasn't even nominated. I just got write in votes from two people. But if it leads to a funny sig, I'm happy.

I like Eutrusca but this is true, he is very partisan.

I agree with I_Hate_Cows, and I have been here for longer than Eutrusca (in the form of Siljhouettes). I remember how he used to be one of the "hysterical Bush-supporters" on this site. Remember his thread "Leftist Tactics"?

I disagree. I could've done it, although I think some firends I've made here would say otherwise. :p

I remember those threads, but I avoid political threads like the plague anymore. I also only mention John Kerry or George Bush in a humorous manner when posting with Eutrusca. When you avoid hot topic issues, Eutrusca is very easy to get along with.

And referring to the Most Respected thread, I think he is truly a very good person, and that is what I respect.

Holy crap, you're Siljhouettes? Huh....

Anyway-that thread pretty much sums it up. When you argue with Eutrusca what you get is the argument you're having and the one he sets up for himself as having. He says he's a centrist and then waves the pom poms at the conservative agenda, and always with a condicending air. He demonstrates the common tendency to not even consider or even look at contrary evidence (once calling Factcheck.org 'one mans lame attempt at refutation' and refused to even look at it until it was hammered and hammerd away. Even then he just found half a sentence that taken out of context could be tangentially connected to his argument until you read the rest of the paragraph that clearly went against his conclusion.)

The dirty old man thing is neither here nor there, but doesn't help. Two pages of posts in the 'boobs' thread.....I like boobs as much as the next heterosexual guy, but c'mon....

In the same thread he'll lambast someone for personal attacks and make eight of his own. I used to follow his posts and call it out, but it got to easy to be any fun.

I'm sure he's a nice enough man. As long as certain subjects where avoided I'm sure we could eat grilled cheese and have a wonderful afternoon. But, I do not respect him as a debator, and find him to be contradictory to himself more often than not. He also has a common conservative disfunction of not understanding the difference in voicing an opinion against something and wanting to ban it, as he believes that all the things liberals argue against they want banned-speaks volumnes about their own mindsets, really.

Girly man

You are making me angry.....

You won't like me when I'm angry.

RWWWAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR

HULK SMASH!!!

Eutrusca isn't right-wing....I think he's more center than anything.

Oh, well, that doesn't matter, he's a good guy. ;)

Three cheers for dirty old men. Like me. :)

Eutrusca adds a sense of mature, reasonable rationality that I find refreshing.

As a nasty old lady I relate best with dirty old men. It's always a pleasure to find someone of your generation with the same memories and the same tastes.

As a matter of fact, according to Swimmingpool's political compass poll, Eutrusca, myself, and a number of people perceived as right-wing are actually centrist. I've also noticed that the ones claiming that we are all right wing conservatives rank far to the left on the compass. Perhaps it's all a matter of perception?

Jeeze. comeon now. I'm very flattered, but there's really no need to create an entire thread! :eek:
It's the man of the hour, Eutrusca! Three cheers for him!

*cheers* :)

Okay, this is the part where he's suppose to walk in.

Etrusca is an amazing man. I tend to agree with him on most issues, but that's beside the point. He is a person always willing to give advise and be a friend. He is like a grandfather to all of us and we are blessed to have him.

That's sooo sweet. :)

What about a rund of applause for his name? It's so fun to say. Eu-tru-s-ca.

YaY, for Eutrusca :)

YaY, for Eutrusca :)

"Yay!" There ya happy now?

Where did he get that name from anyway? I wish I was creative :(

I also wonder where Keruvalia got his name. It's kind of pretty. It could be used as a girl's name.
