Good bye my friends

jg40178, I wouldn't waste keystrokes offering character guidance for HOsoulman.
His persona appears fraudulent.
I believe the dialect and illiterate posture he affected started out as an attempt at humor. However, satire and parody, even GOOD satire and parody, plays to a limited audience everywhere, certainly on the Forum, with many ultra-literal readers.
When HOsoulman's material met with an unsympathetic reception, he became hostile himself. HOsoulman went over the line when he assumed a faux or bogus racial identity, even as a failed comedic device, in my opinion.
I hope at least one thing about HOsoulman is genuine: his statement he is leaving the Forum.

diogenes,
After reading your post, I must agree with you. I considered what he says in his farewell speech. Even in this desperate reach for pity he is not telling the truth. He says that he: (A) is on disability, (B) has no car to drive, and (C) collects cans in order to pay his internet bill. So presumably he is ambulatory enough to walk around and do all of the bending over, etc., to pick up cans yet is disabled enough to have to rely on disability. Either he is full of $hit, or he is lazy to the extent that he'd rather our tax dollars support him rather than getting a job. Either way, you are right. He isn't worth wasting keystrokes on.

HOsoulman's mean-spirited "minstrel show," where he pretends to be "black," insults an entire race of people. He's attacked others, and used foul language (in another topic). He mocks the needy and the genuinely handicapped, people who deserve sympathy, not humiliation. He's tried intimidating all non-Polaris riders by his incessant quad-bashing. Finally, he's not even funny, if this schtick is his idea of a joke.
Isn't there enough hatred to go around? Let's talk about ATVs, instead of hurling racial and ethnic slurs and personal insults.
