If the archives and search engines of this board are up to it, I would suggest doing a search for "LOD" and Legion of Doom.
A modern day internet subculture, a study in polarization over the Civil War, the Stars and Bars, and regional differences in the teachings and interpretations of American history...and that's just for openers.
Ahh, the good ol days. Fire and brimstone, banners and bibles flying on every thread, head-bending debates, trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria.
Someone call Gobbler Afflicted and Sixby. A Pay-Per-View rematch...
Ah the good ol' days! VC is right, if you want heated debates, we had them then. Neither side would back down or give an inch, so we fought until we were all too tired to fight anymore and every possible arguement had been made......5 times. Then we would drop our swords and go soak our typing fingers in warm water for a few days before the next battle heated up.
In all honesty, I have to admit now, (I'd have never admitted it then) that I learned alot from those debates. I learned how people can have such a dramactially different outlook on life than me and only live a few states away. I learned that not all hunters are conservative. I learned that the history books tell differing stories in different states. I learned that Southerners have a totally different outlook on life and heritage than other folks. I learned that a whole lot of folks (including myself) enjoy(ed) arguing for the sake of arguing.
Good times, but I'm glad they are in the past. I also learned one other thing; some people, grown adults, can take a fictional group like the LOD and start to believe it is real. They believe it is a "movement" and somehow fantasy becomes a reality in their mind. That is when I laid down my sword and LOD shield and quietly ran away.lol

Hunting the Piney Woods of Deep East Texas.
VC, I did a little research on the recent sighting. I was curious about it because I had heard a rumor that there had been a scandalous event concerning the huntingnet L.O.D. But more on that in a minute.
As it turns out, the recent sighting in Nashville WAS a Legion of Doom meeting, it was just a "different" legion of doom...You might know them by their other public name...The Democratic National Convention.
Alas,,,The Legion of Doom from Hunting net has fallen upon tumultuous times...It seems that they were unwittingly infiltrated by a sly and wiley adversary...For security reasons his name has been witheld...but his initials are RICOACE.
It turns out that through a brief visit to Michael Jacksons make up artist, and a quick trip to the 7-11 to get a set of those "Billy Bob" teeth, that this Rico guy was able to pass himself off as one of those "good ol' boys" that we hear so much about.
In short order, he was elected to be the treasurer of the Legion of Doom.
It was only after the second annual world convention of the "Legion of Doomers" and the annual dues had been paid that the scandal broke.
It seems that the treasurer skipped with the dues, about the same time there was a rather large anonymous contribution to the Texas chapter of schlimazel prevention
The members of the Legion of Doom have since been scattered to the four winds and have been lacking direction...It is their hope to one day overcome the embarassment of being duped, and re-band to become a fighting force once again.
The infamous RicoAce has thrown away his plastic teeth, taken a shower and returned to his previous live in middle suberbia.
