It wasn't so much an open flame war. BYTOR was very good at taking comical shots at people on the left. He and Didact were always on opposite ends, so he got a lot of barbs directed at him.
Yep, I got my share. I probably deserved whatever I got, I was a dick back then. I used to get painfully worked up over political debates in this place, and yes, a lot of them resulted in genuine depression and anguish. I think I've mellowed a bit in the meantime, and I tend not to get involved in them in the first place now...
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I saw your posts, ATW, and couldn't help but comment.
