All he needed was a .22 and a .38. He was an agent provocateur. I kind'a liked him around.
There is really little else to know...perhaps... -HS |

He was the mouthpiece for the "Anybody but Bush" crowd. Among other things, one of his loudest drums was that Bush had secretly re-instated the draft.

You are just too new to "get it." When I first encounted him I didn't get him at all either. At first Imbro was one of the more brilliant minds here. His pantomime of the opposition painted them in their most accurate light. He was a independent thinker with a insightful perspective on the world. Mostly Libertarian in philosophy and harshly critical of the status quo of both sides. Then it seemed like he ran out of original material and became more of a parody of himself. More and more of what he posted was copy/paste drivel and largely unfounded. In the end he became something of a shock jock with nothing interesting or original to say and just seemed to enjoy peeing on the hornet nest. |

As much as (1) people who knew him ridicule him, and (2) people who never knew him and just want to fit in - ridicule him, and (3) people who want to pound their chests and pledge undying love to the GOP, ridicule him as a right of passage even in their polls as a poll choice, I'd say you are going out on a limb by merely expressing any form of appreciation of him. |

What I find utterly amazing is people's urged affiliation with party out of a real need to belong to the correct club. We all know the GOP has taken care of us as best they could, where as Dems have done everything possible to take 2nd amendment rights away, but in all honesty, when we are here talking to each other we can probably drop the party line and just be honest.

I don't think the majority, nor a substantial number, of members here affiliate with a party out of a politically correct need to "belong to the correct club". That sounds good in theory, but when you actually talk with members, you'll see they have one reason or another that drives them to a "group". Hell, you gave one my top two reasons for "affiliation" with the repubs. Doesn't mean I agree with all repubs. I really don't see a lot of "party line" talk- I'm actually pleasently surpised by the actual research and original thought a lot of members exhibit on this site. You might see correlations between members' views and some party positions, but one does not necessarily predicate the other. |

Your words imply the rest of us have some type of "group think pile" from which we draw our beliefs. I have yet to find it. This site draws a large group of individuals--men, women, young, old, all races, wealthy, poor, etc.--who happen to be intelligent enough to draw their own conclusions about various issues. We've become close mostly due to the similarities of our beliefs. Imbroglio did NOT express any thought or "view"--he merely went to various websites whose themes are different than those espoused here, cut and pasted articles, and posted them. This is hardly anything he "thought" or represents any form of thinking for himself. You apparently did not notice he NEVER stuck around in his own thread to discuss the cut/paste crap, nor to post a single thought of his own--just a rehash of leftist drivel via cut/paste. I never even saw him claim to embrace the views expressed in his articles--he just posted them without comment. This doesn't break any rules, so he did it for 10,000+ posts--but it hardly makes him a "rebel" to be admired. If "views different than the typical AR15.com member" is a good/valuable/worthwhile thing, then I'd suggest anyone who thinks that way to go somewhere else, where they find the prevailing attitudes and board culture to be more to their liking. There are many more forum boards. As one example, DUh would have booted Imbroglio in his first post--not after 10,000+.  Edit: I just remembered, he did have one original thread. He hacked up a huge, nasty, bloody gob of sputum from his lungs and posted a close up pic of it--then absolutely HOWLED with rage when it was removed. He fumed there was no rule which prevented the posting of pics of bloody sputum, and should therefore be allowed. I was a GD Mod at the time, and it was late at night, so Staff was unavailable. He would have been booted a year and a half sooner than he was if I had been working as Staff then. I wanted to add this in the interest of accuracy, as it was something "original" he posted. Real nice of him, don'tcha think?? |

From Cyanide:
Interesting, particularly considering the source. Imbro giving you your marching orders? There is a definite similarity in style & substance, or lack thereof. Did you just give up the annoying habit of posting stupid articles just to see the reaction? And then just change your handle to "Cyanide?" |

I just made a mistake too, and I'm betting it won't follow me my whole life--I hit a wrong key and had to do an edit to fix it. Deliberately bringing a video camera to one of the first AR15.com shoots and hanging in the parking lot videotaping people's vehicles and license plates is not a "mistake" in my view--it's despicable and just plain creepy. I attend many AR15.com shoots, and if anyone does that while I am present they will watch their camcorder be used as our target, next to a bottle (or two) of Tannerite, and they may well be in for an ass kicking--and we will post about it FOREVER. Some "mistakes" just aren't made.
