    Of course. Some posters need to console themselves that liberals are not just holding political opinions with which they disagree, but actually bad people. Since 14thDoc defended Polanski (which was a thoroughly ridiculous and very unpopular move), that first made him into a pedophile apologist and then, as the idea grew on its own, into a pedophile himself. But you are correct; if someone way over on the right politically had done it, they would have disagreed but that would have been the end of it.

    For Dan, they use the "Deadbeat Dad" insult (which is also not true, though he is divorced). For actormike, the worst insult they can find is that he is Jewish. It shows something of their mentality that they consider that an insult.

    I will admit that the one aspect of Wordforge that I don't like, and the reason I do not encourage too many friends to get involved in the board, is that kind of over-the-top, incessant, vicious trolling. That is especially so since many of the friends I would encourage to participate here are Christians, and some of the worst racist and vulgar trolling comes from posters who also call themselves Christians.

    I don't have a big problem with the fact that quite a number of posters occasionally have a fit and throw around some pretty strong insults. That's part of Wordforge. But I really do wish that the three or four who do it so excessively would stop. They merely make themselves look childish and make the board less interesting to others, thinking all the while that they are actually "cool" or something.

    :(

    Tom Cullen

    Tom Cullen is a man initially thought to be in his mid-20's to mid-30's who suffers from mild to moderate mental retardation. Nick encounters him while cycling from Arkansas to Nebraska through Oklahoma. After Nick learns that Tom remembers his father's return from the Korean War, he realizes Tom must be much older than he thought, perhaps in his 40's. The two bond closely, despite the fact that Nick cannot speak, and Tom cannot read Nick’s notes, though when the two encounter Ralph Brentner, Tom is finally able to learn Nick's name.

    Tom generally possesses a childish speech pattern, peppered with exclamations of "My laws!" and "Laws, yes!" and he makes frequent references to himself in the third person. Tom also believes that everything is spelled "M-O-O-N" as in "M-O-O-N, that spells 'my main man'." When needing to make a logical connection, Tom, who is sometimes capable of normal thought, may slip into a form of self-hypnosis wherein he is able to make connections that he cannot while "awake" (that is, conscious and focused on something superficial). Nick, Stu, and Glen use this ability to place a post-hypnotic suggestion in Tom that will help him to act as the third Free Zone spy. During his hypnosis, Nick, Stu, and Glen discover that while hypnotized, Tom possesses the same type of foresight as Mother Abagail, referring to himself as the same Tom that Nick met in Oklahoma, but at the same time he proclaims himself to be "God’s Tom".

    Tom travels West, giving a hypnotically imprinted cover story to get accepted into Las Vegas, and is able to avoid detection by Flagg. Tom’s anonymity seems to stem from his disability, as Flagg tells Dayna that every time he tries to see the third spy, all he sees is the moon; this confirms Dayna's sighting of Tom earlier (while both were on Vegas work crews), and her desire to protect both Tom and his status as a spy compels her to commit suicide rather than submit to further questioning by Flagg. The sight of the full moon rising over Las Vegas triggers Tom’s post-hypnotic suggestion, and he begins the return trip to Boulder, appropriately noting "M-O-O-N, that spells moon."

    During his return to Boulder, he encounters Stu, who is suffering from a broken leg and pneumonia due to exposure. Originally, Tom was far east of where Stu fell, but a prophetic dream tells him that he must double back to find Stu. With help from Nick's spirit, who appears to him in visions (due to the fact that Nick is already deceased due to Harold Lauder's bomb), Tom is able to nurse a delirious and dying Stu back to health while they are snowed in for much of the winter at a motel in central Utah. Together, they return to Boulder to report the destruction of Las Vegas.

    Jeez, I really would have preferred everyone taking him to task over his intelligence for making such a stupid comment rather than the incessant, dumb as shit pedophile talk we've had to endure ever since.

    Worst part is that post was now going on TWO YEARS ago and the hacks of Tardforge still reply to just about every post 14th Doc makes with it. The anti-semetic slur at actormike is even older than that.

    That's because he is a fucking loser whose only interaction with the outside world is this board. For me, this is just a passtime playground.

    As far as 'contributions' go, I can assure you my limited contributions are much more interesting and entertaining to everyone than his drab, depressing contributions. Simple as that.

    I actually love Jews. The term "Kikey-Mikey" is used as an insult because actormike seems to hate everything Israel stands for, and seems to support those who would kill him for being Jewish.

    I don't believe Kikey-Mikey is even a practicing Jew.

    What in the fuck is happening to this board? Why is everyone crying like little bitches over Mikey and Ray? Grow a pair, people.

    FUCK RAY.

    He's a motherfucking weasel and a half and it goes way beyond his deeply passionate support for a pedophile who weasled his way out of justice. Stop pretending like this is just about him admitting a soft spot for a fugitive pedophile.

    Trolling people's deceased family members. Playing fast and loose with people's private information here. Running off to TK and stirring up shit with Ted regarding Tamar. And he knew goddamn well the problems she's had with him in the past.

    Ray is the new Ted here these days; a straight-up creepy motherfucker, and you're all a bunch of pussies for getting your panties in a bunch over a meme that's been going on for years.

    Oh, and fuck Mikey too. While he's not nearly as sleazy as Ray is, he's still a little bitch.

    It's finally gettin' cleaned up. The day of non-contributing retards like you is over.

    To paraphrase Walt Kowalski, ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with? That's us.

    Cool. Tell you what...

    I have the opinion I do because I consider Tamar a friend and what Ray did with her personal information at TK with Ted is absolutely fucking inexcusible. It stands on its own even when you put all the other creepy shit behind for a minute.

    But you guys go right ahead and validate his bullshit.
