This was because the local police grabbed those people, gave them a

So you are in fact in favour of government regulation, provided it is

Nah, D's not as entertaining as Terry, he's really just a one-trick pony.

Terry could come out with new lines and bounce around like a

Very true, though I'm not sure inconsistency is the right word. I found
him quite consistent with himself, just very non-categorizable. He
certainly would poke fun at anyone he found foolish. I miss him.

He would have had a field day with D.

Nope. He would probably die before having typed three letters. Possibly four, based on the research I have done.

I think that Terry's problem was that, perhaps from boredom, he would
sometimes seek a serious argument with and abuse posters whose views
were the same as his just to annoy and demonstrate who was the top dog.
He was intelligent, knowledgeable, insightful but aggressively nasty and
spiteful. I miss him too.
