Cdub100 3,380 Posted September 11, 2021 I got to give it to the little guy. Despite being consistently wrong, pushing disinformation, and being mercilessly roaster over and over and over and over and over and over again. He is one of the more polite posters here. Still a hack, but a polite hack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masshole 642 Posted September 11, 2021 Agreed. Cool as the other side of the pillow. He does have a brain and I appreciate that he's been in the ring the whole way on this subject. He challenges my opinions and has changed my mind on some details. He's still a sh!thead though. . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5-Points 2,727 Posted September 11, 2021 Disagree with damn near everything he posts but he's civil and backs his sh!t up with links. I have no complaints. Dood should stick around. ETA: He reminds me of Frank M without the funny and sarcasm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeenHereBefore 1,332 Posted September 11, 2021 I have a question for Tim as well and found out tonight through the GF. Older couple in the later 60's got the double jab when first came out, later both caught Covid and Husband died of Blood clots. How did the vaccine help that couple ? Did the vaccine have something to do with his death ? True story! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 1,799 Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks for the (mostly) kind words. Glad to see some people may actually be a little open minded on some things. I do try to be polite but I’ll admit have gotten riled up a few times. I do read some of the other threads and post occasionally so will try to do a little more, but am not really interested in politics (covid shouldn’t be political). I did even share some of my bad music taste. I also plan to post on the FF forum some more if any geeks actually go over there. That’s really the reason I even came to the GC last year, I had taken a few year break from FF but got back into it last season, although the FF forum was kinda dead so ventured over here. I will admit I’ve wondered if my namesake (former Eagles folk hero who ended Michael Irvin’s career, although that’s not why I was a fan of his) is vaccinated, being from Montana. I know no one cares but while I grew up outside Philly and was an Eagles fan for the most part, I’ve lived in NC for 10 years now and would probably consider myself a converted Panthers fan. And cdub, how did you know I was little? I did debate posting in the what’s your height & weight thread but ended up deciding against it for fear of retaliation (5’3 140).

Older couple in the later 60's got the double jab when first came out, later both caught Covid and Husband died of Blood clots. How did the vaccine help that couple ? Did the vaccine have something to do with his death ? True story! Did he just die recently? If so, with so much time in between vaccine and infection (most actual vaccine-related adverse events seem to occur in the first 2 weeks) I think it’d be tough to claim that the vaccine contributed to the death, and I believe there is a link between covid infection and blood clots. Possible the vaccine helped the wife assuming she didn’t die too but we’ll never know. But unfortunately, while still effective, the vaccine isn’t 100% effective (particularly against Delta) so there will still be breakthrough hospitalizations and deaths (mainly while I’m still concerned for my 70 year old parents), and there does also seem to be a bit of waning immunity particularly in older people.

jerryskids 5,198 Posted September 11, 2021 Did I log into the right place this morning? Or is this some alternate universe where people are nice to Tim? Honestly I'm glad to see it. I've said as much in the past so I'm glad that others agree that he is a solid contributor. Hope you stay around @TimHauckand contribute in other areas as well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted September 11, 2021 I have him on ignore. There was a point where he would NOT accept the fact that he was wrong ( which as plenty of you have seen he always refuses to do) and just kept pestering me with notifications. I make it a point to just not associate with ppl like that. Someone like him thinks he knows more than an expert or someone who’s studied the information in college. Of course, there’s plenty of righty hacks that are the same. I don’t associate with them either.

Digby, I'd like to give you an observation, and I do this because I like you. You seem very angry lately. You have no patience for anyone; less than none -- when you disagree with someone you immediately respond with vitriol at the poster. A majority of your recent posts sound like you want to honestly meet the person IRL and fight them. You said above and on other occasions that you don't associate with such people. But you kinda are. And you should: the problem isn't their posts, it is your reactions. I was a lot more volatile in my younger FFT days so I understand the feeling.

But I can tell you I've learned that life is too short to carry that anger around all of the time. I have no patience anymore cause I’ve stopped giving it to people here. Most of the time they’re either trolling or refuse to listen common sense and science. It’s only with people on social media honestly man. I’ve just found it’s better to just ignore them after a certain amount of time spent arguing with them. Once I determine they’re never going to listen or they don’t have an open mind I’m done. Really, I’m a nice guy and usually get along with everyone. Now this is in person. I’ve found peoples personalities tend to change drastically on social media, and not in the good way. Which is why I say, people here and on social media won’t ever act or say the things they do online to people in person cause they’d get their asses whooped. In regards to Tim, I was fine with him for a long time until he became unhinged one day when he was proven wrong and refused to do nothing but try and troll me that day. So I put him on ignore cause my notifications were blowing up. And not well thought out explanations. Those are fine cause like others have said, he tries to back up his claims even if they’re wrong. But when someone tries to argue with me about something I’ve majored in in college, have worked in for over 10 years, and currently in grad school being taught even more but refuses to even acknowledge the clear cut science I’ve provided then I’m done. Thanks for not being a complete d1ck though in your post.

I’m all for people questioning everything they hear. Especially nowadays. You honestly can’t even trust the CDC or the chief medical advisor of the United States nowadays which is sad. Even at the med school I’m at the doctors there “unofficially” say they aren’t trusting them anymore and do their own research. You can’t trust the media anymore either.
