I guess I hadn’t joined yet, but that’s a fun look back.

Re: SportsFrog History
I follow Billy Waterski of the twitter (he is a product manager at Github/MSFT). He tweats about 2 things...responses to complaints about Github and Pro Trump. I have not seen a post about waterskis, tennis, short basketball player jerseys, or his startup that got him son Obama love.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 4:03 pmBilly Waterski started out pretty hard-core conservative, and the last I saw of him he was trumpeting a photo of himself with Obama.Shirley wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 3:24 pmYeah, me too.

Re: SportsFrog History
I was following him and his girlfriend-then-wife for a while. I don’t think she’s on twitter anymore. I can’t remember Billy’s handle to search.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Are you saying he Tweets Pro-Trump stuff, or responds to people posting pro-Trump stuff?wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 8:46 pm

Re: SportsFrog History
Recently he's been tweeting support for BLM and against police violence against minorities. So I think it's the latter.The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:16 amAre you saying he Tweets Pro-Trump stuff, or responds to people posting pro-Trump stuff?wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 8:46 pm

Re: SportsFrog History
That's a relief. I don't care if someone posts Conservative beliefs or legit political beliefs I disagree with, but I can't respect anyone who publicly supports Trump.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:19 amRecently he's been tweeting support for BLM and against police violence against minorities.

He's not pro-Trump. (You could just go on Twitter and search his name and twitter feed).The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:16 amAre you saying he Tweets Pro-Trump stuff, or responds to people posting pro-Trump stuff?wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 15, 2020 8:46 pm

Re: SportsFrog History
I scrolled through, and it was all about GitHub. When I saw a post saying "it's been months since I posted anything not about work" I gave up and just asked.sancarlos wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:22 amHe's not pro-Trump.

Re: SportsFrog History
I vividly recall seeing some pro-trump likes and such. However, a read of his feed makes it pretty clear that if that recollection is correct he is also pretty balanced in his criticism. And his profile picture on his feed is he and the former president...
Re: SportsFrog History
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there were some positive Trump comments. At least in a pro-business context.
Re: SportsFrog History
Like, proportionally balanced, or wrong balanced?
he’s a fixbking cyborg or some shit. The

Re: SportsFrog History
Max, that might've been the first time I got into it with Scottie, too! Though, I do seem to recall him changing his position on hockey violence sometime later.

Re: SportsFrog History
HA i'm sure he battled pretty much everyone in that one; the thread got ugly but i think he and I treaded a fine line of disagreement within it :P
Re: SportsFrog History
I seem to remember that. I had no dog in the "hockey is a culture until itself" line of thinking and stayed out.
But attacking a dude from behind is fucked up no matter how you slice it.

I believe the offending post was “go jerk off some more over a picture of a stick“. Or something like that.
