That whole episode was just very unfortunate...

I'm just a softie, in a sense. I see Spencer as a Shakespearean figure. Very flawed, full of wasted potential, brought down by their own choices.

I wouldn't be surprised if an alt-Right HBO miniseries is being cooked up by the usual suspects.

Dramatic, not documentary

On a certain level respect is extended to anyone who puts his neck out for this but that doesn't mean they can do no wrong

Yes, he did a lot of wrong.

Maybe. I'm just reluctant to cut him much slack, because of the stakes, and the potential consequences of the resources and opportunities he squandered, to say nothing of the disrespect he showed to the people closest to him, even those who bled for him.

@Bjorn - MD Yeah, I'm not making any excuses for that. I'm just pathologically altruistic. (why I should never be in top leadership)

Lol

Patrick is the real deal and is doing great things. This is the organization to be in, and I'm glad I was admitted.

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Don't get me wrong; if there's scorn in my "voice" (typing?), it's obviously for him, not you. I hear ya, though. It's easy to become sentimental about people you identity with.

I got ya.

@Nemets Why ya askin' 'bout Kazakh Army garrisons? Plannin' a party...? 😏

@Nemets Shylock? <:teehee:381917632359563264>

@Nemets no just guarding the parts of town foreigners like

It was just a low brow merchant joke.

Your analysis is probably most correct. I've only read about 5 of Shakespeare's plays.

I'm a web developer and digital marketing consultant, if you guys have a business and want to hire in-group, let me know and I'd be glad to help you out 😃

@Gumbo - AZ it will be months at the very least but I will look for you when the time is right!

hoping to be able to help IE quite a lot in this area, plus I've also worked in cybersecurity.

@Nemets I did see the Bryan Cox / Ralph Finnes 'Corolianus.' And the Kenneth Branaugh 'Henry V'.
I've read Romeo & Juliet, Julius Caesar, Midsummer Night's Dream, Merchant of Venice, and Taming of the Shrew - Basically what High School and College mandated.

@Nemets Saw the Kenneth Branaugh Hamlet. I liked Lion King better.

(same plot)

Isn't hamlet about a King killed by his brother, the prince having to figure it out thanks to ghost dad, with two wisecracking sidekicks?

Gildencrantz and Rosensturn are Timon and Pumpa (sp)

Although everyone dies at the end of Hamlet

Yeah, Nala didn't get sent to the insane asylum, lol

Isn't that what happened to Ophelia?

Or nunnery

Great scene from Henry V

@Nemets I won't lie, I watched it back in 2006. An Ex was a huge Shakespeare fan

I should get more in touch with English and European heritage and brush up on it, I suppose

St. Crispian's day?

@Nemets Yeah, flashier, but less well delivered.

I'll just leave this here.

@Nemets Are you Catholic? That might explain the disparity.

I'll just leave this here.
