There's no doubt (but no problem) that Sniffles is Basmati reincarnated. In a subtle way, Basmati used cyber reincarnation to reaffirm religion. (Muddle: weigh in, please. You can have a Georgia Brown). Just as GetReal became GitReal, Basmati became Sniffles. Doesn't bother me. Snifflemati is very intelligent and witty. I would say I probably agree with Denise more often then Snifflemati but when scanning posts, I will not pass up on reading a Snifflemati.

You people forget the funny post that Basmati put up on Westmoreland and Colbert. That was a classic. (Another was Paul Perkins' Christmas song about Logsdon).

So, I say yes it is but I don't care. Welcome back.

You do have a strange sense of humor!

If Basmati MAV (Most Angry & Viciously Vulgar) maintains his "Sniffles" pretext (i.e., displaying some semblance of self-control), then he's tolerable. But I have no doubt that my very presence will tempt him to drop the façade.

Basmati constantly badgered RetiredArmyMajor with personal attacks, but it was RAM who was banned, not MAV. MAV even went after Tug. I guess if you like watching a rabid dog go in for the kill, then you're glad he's back. Anyway, at least it won't be boring here.

Denise, you know that I share your political opinions on most occasions. Although Basmati was somewhat animated and colorful, shall we say, I do agree with the Supreme Court--- the best antidote to objectionable free speech is more free speech. I concede that this is a private web site and thus the decision to ban any poster is the publisher's prerogative.

I will say that your jousting is well researched and most entertaining.

That does describe Basmati!

And the more he “speaks,” the more he reveals about his true self. That’s why I never added my voice to the calls for his banning, but I am glad that his last despicable comment was edited.

Do you like to WWF?
