    I searched titles for WAB, WIKI, Wikipedia, Famous, and World Affairs Board.

    Zip.
    I checked the deleted threads as well, nothing there.
    It's probably buried in the general forums. I'll see if I can find out the idiot was and trace it back from there.

He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

      Lol. I searched M21 in titles, but it didn't come up.

      It might have been lost in the crash, when the forums were all mixed up for those few days. I lost a few posts back then too.

      Well, Tophatter, if you find it, please repost it to this thread- it really was funny.

            Some old timer could give the history of WAB on the site.

            It is just a few general statements as I just googled it.

            I missed out on the reference to Snioer.

              Basically a disgruntled WABer (can't remember which idiot it was) went into the first Wikipedia article and vandalized it, claiming it (WAB) has a strong right-wing bias, led by M21Sniper and aided and abetted by the Moderators, whom he listed by name (this was also back before Julie stepped down).

              I went in and restored the article to the previous Save and it was pretty much undisturbed until somebody nominated it for deletion due to lack of relevance.

              Probably what will happena again sooner or later.

                    That's the one!!!

                    Good sleuthing job, Parihaka, I was afraid it was lost forever.
                    The WAB has also been criticized for being a poor source of factual information, especially regarding gun control, global warming, health, and domestic policy. The dominant user is M21sniper, a former US Army sniper with over ten thousand posts and the wide respect of the forum. However, he has dispatched false information on dozens, if not more, occasions.
                    Bahahahahahaha....

                    We really should put it back on Wiki, lol.

                      While we're at it, how about my suggestion for the Wiki article I posted on the same old thread

                          together, the six 'mods' have banned numerous liberals, keeping the forum dominated by conservatives.
                          I gotta agree here - after all, TopHatter did have me banned on my first day.

                              I remember that twit. I believe about oh...every 3d poster at WAB pile-drove him on his ridiculous views on guns.

                              I'm trying to remember if that's the same guy that pretended to be a DEA agent too, who 'as a police officer' had the 'real scoop'. The clown that i caught, confronted on IM, forced to admit he was a fake, and then who went on to state that 'they were a member of an anti-second amendment group that prowled message boards and whose goal was to rid america of guns'- or some ridiculous nonsense like that.

                              Same guy?
