This was an excerpt about it I grabbed from elsewhere.

A lot of people are saying it.

I admit I fell for some of that. Thought he could be a more dangerous version. Didn't realize when he got in front of people he has the charisma of a rock and a brain not much better.

Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.

Gotta love the Streisand effect on display. Wouldn't have known he smells if they hadn't "fired back."

When this was posted before someone who followed it fairly closely and others like it, updated the thread with info because the article was behind current info. They had already stopped the trials for MS because it wasn't working. So they began to just focus on one other, the Crohn's, I believe. Figuring if they got one to work, they could go back to the others and get them on the right track.

I have MS, and while this is a new approach, there have been so many articles about treatments that end up going nowhere after the first excitement. So it is still very early to get hopes up.

Hope can be a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane, as Red said.

I think as men get older, we also tend to have less close friends than women. Or at least it sure seems to be that way for many. Saw it with my dad before we lost him last year. I see it with my brother and myself. It has brought me and my brother somewhat closer in that we text and talk more than we used to despite not living close and being pretty different personalizes.

I have a few close friends, but not male ones. I had to stop working at a young age and I feel that is when I stopped having a connection to any sort of male bonding.

But I agree, that it still seems unacceptable to open up, share feelings, and be vulnerable as a man. Probably why I have mostly had women as close friends most of my adult life.

I was going to argue your point, but you said swearsy realsies. You can't get more proof than that.

It doesn't happen often, but I do this for people in my life occasionally as well with online. I type out a whole response that I would want to say. Then I delete it without sharing it. It is often enough for me to realize it just doesn't matter and it is better to move on.

It also gives them no ammo to say this is all some liberal attack. Even though they'll still keep saying it is. Reality doesn't often play a part in the cult of his followers.

I always hate that assumption that I must be racist because I share the same skin tone as a racist.

I worked with a guy that seemed pretty laid back and alright. He was my supervisor at the time and just out of the blue after knowing him a couple months just the most racist shit said and I was speechless.

Muppet Treasure Island I believe.
