The South American Riots!

I remember when we had a Bort tracker so we knew when and where Bort posted in the forums.

There's a crazy idea. Now we all nearly poop our pants when there's a DD sighting. Can't imagine what a Bort sighting would do.

Ah, yes, vintage jdbolick... one good and valid point, buried under layers and layers of unneccessary and hyperbolic ad hominem attacks, completely disproportionate to the wrong he thinks he's righting.

"THE SANCTITY OF WL FORUM MUST BE PROTECTED FROM SAD PEOPLE ON SAD DAYS! RARRRRRRRRGH!" Sure, buddy.

He dropped a lot of good knowledge in the forums, but he didn't do it to help people -- he did it so he could prove to everybody how smart he thought he was and how great he thought he was at the game. And he had, what, one WL gold trophy? More than me, I guess, but all that bluster and so little to show for it. I don't miss him.

I do use his famous early-build plan, though, so GG jd, I guess.

Ehhhhh... not quite my take but I see where many thought that of him. In our private messages I got the image of someone almost autistic in his view of the game's math (or maybe math in general). I mean he was (IS) a numbers guy and he could not brook anything that did not fit his view of what the numbers told him. His guide is good because it's spot on with the math and unarguable from that standpoint. Where he had issues was when you brought up those illusionary things that also are a part of the game... but that we know NOTHING about other than Bort telling us "they matter". Height, Weight add into equations of outcomes and skew the perfection of those numbers we see (strength, tackling, ect, ect, ect...). Other complex math like angles and speed and secondary helping skills also are not known. Whenever I would discuss those thing with him, he'd nearly blow his top. I swear I could here the blood pressure meter beeping. But I learned things from him and am a better dot builder from those conversations. And my impression of him is that he IS a really smart guy that doesn't like it when things he believes are pure and true are tainted by things he cannot see. Black and white only. Grey is not a color for him.
Perhaps that's why he never dominated WL with his dots. Devious Bort made sure that the numbers you see don't always add up to the numbers you think they do.

Theo, your take on jd is a lot healthier than most. I think a lot of people cheered jd on because they just wanted a good show. And for all his whining about the mods, they let him get away with a lot that they didn't let others get away with. And plenty of people have shared great advice in GLB's forums over the years with far less venom than jd used.

I saw someone give bad advice to a newbie in the FAQ forum once, and I was about to correct him, but I got an idea. I did some digging in jdbolick's posting history and found a particularly vicious example of his "advice" in the FAQ forum. I copied it into Notepad, made a couple of tweaks to make it about the topic at-hand, posted it as if it were my own words, and waited to see what would happen.

Within a few hours I got suspended from the forums for several days, with a mod telling me that my words were far too aggressive for the FAQ forum. When I showed the mod what I had done and questioned why jdbolick hadn't been suspended for his original post, it was pretty clear from the mod's response that he was pissed about getting exposed.

I know, breaking news, the GLB mods were horrible and inconsistent. But jd was the beneficiary of that inconsistency as much as he was the victim of it.

Didn't know that but I agree with at least this; JD was a man that was often pissed off at everything. How he did that and didn't blow his blood pressure out the meter's top, I'll never know. I just let it roll off. Worked with special olympics kids back several decades ago and it taught me a helluva lot about patience and acceptance.

When 808 had some stupidly unstoppable WR and FB.

Or when message boards were spammed like crazy asking why Johnny Dollar hasn’t been made an administrator of this site yet.

I remember when Bobby Boucher turned up at halftime to help the Mud dogs win the Bourbon bowl.

Also, early season Western Europe leagues were a blast.
