Why SF? I was there 8 years ago and found it dirty with many drug
users on the street.

 Parts of it, yes.
 I arrived in SF from a small city with no obvious drug users or
vagrants.
 This was because the local police grabbed those people, gave them a
beating, and dumped them in the next county.  Somebody else's problem.

 Sounds like heaven! Police acting, doing something, and solving the
problem! =)

 So you are in fact in favour of government regulation, provided it is
illegal and hurts people you dislike.

 Now that D is here, the entertainment level is surpassing the Jibini
level.

 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
grass-hopper in a BugCatcher - and probably would have baited D into an
apoplexy, consistency was not one of his strong points.  :-)

 Yes, exactly. I wish he was still here to make mincemeat of D.
The current entertainment for me comes from the replies to D, not D's
extreme views and his prejudices but these replies are all restrained
and polite rather than full-on Jibini bloodthirsty.

 Of course, this discussion ignores the possibility that D /is/ Jabini.

 D is not curt and nasty.

 Thank you Lynn. Occasionally I do admit that the old temper runs a bit hot, but I do my best! =)

 Terry Austin (gutless,jinbini) ran me and several others out of here back in 2000 or so with his antics.  I did not come back until 2010 ??? when he had calmed down and he stopped nymshifting.
 Lynn

 How come he was so successful given killfiles, regular expressions and all the power of technology we have at our hands for not having to read things we do not want to read?

 He flooded every posting I and several others made with his infamous "Bark ! Bark ! Bark !" repeated a hundred times posting.  It got old in a hurry.  If you complained, he would just nymshift and do it again.
 Lynn

 Ahh, I see. But in the end you are here and he is not, so you won! =)

I found an obit a couple of years ago that might be for Terry so he might have passed away.

Well, outliving someone is a valid path to victory! ;) Jokes aside, fascinating times when you were so close to each other that you actually knew what to look for in the real world to get a clue to someones identity.
