This was in reply to another poster who said she never complained about yukon.
It was not just you, there were others who never complained about him. I am among those.
What Goldi said about yukon is of course true. He did move freely from thread to thread to counterattack those who constantly provoked and antagonized him for correcting misstatements, shining a bright light on untruths and sounding a clarion call directing attention to flat out lies.
Goldi did warn him, but yukon continued to be relentless in the pursuit of truth and crusade against the evil voices of faux Patriots and faux Christians who were spreading garbage to promote their agenda and unfounded conspiracy theories to promote fear. He would not give up the battle and concede victory to the enemies of truth.
Anyone observing both sides could easily see that he was constantly set up and yukon being a dedicated person of high moral character would not let the malcontents fire a volley without standing his ground and return fire with an even stronger volley. They would provoke him on one thread and then quickly abandon that thread and move to another thread, knowing that yukon would follow them to that thread to respond. When he did, voila
they would ping Goldi. It looked like yukon had randomly appeared to cause trouble and disrupt a thread. I must confess, I have never seen a better executed battle plan in all the many years I spent in the Strategic Air Command.
The organized effort to eradicate yukon from the face of LP was carefully planned and executed by a couple of posters whom yukon constantly challenged to present truth. They even hacked his LP account and posted a link to homosexual porn. Their intent was to unjustly brand yukon a homosexual. The two succeeded in accomplishing their goal when their little minions fell in behind to support their attacks on yukon and Carpet Bombed (an Air Force term for indiscriminate bombing) him.
While yukon fought valiantly, he eventually succumbed to the overwhelming odds against him because the perpetrators and their minions continually pinged Goldi to the attention of their coordinated actions after they had set yukon up. Their diabolical plan accumulated to result in yukon finally going down in flames
he was banned by Goldi.
I did not know yukon at the start of the fray, but I quickly learned not only to like him, but also to greatly admire him for his courage and perseverance. There is a Hall of Defame out in the great Websphere where the screen names of those who cast an evil shadow over LP and were banned rests. There is also a Hall of Fame where the screen names of those who stayed true to their right and just convictions on LP and were banned rests. The screen name yukon rests in the center spotlight on that special wall.
Yukon was my Internet hero who later has become my email friend. As a retired Air Force Officer, I would be proud to protect yukons six anytime. I tried to do so on LP and sadly, I failed. Hand Salute, yukon
and goodbye at LP.
I once had the opportunity to engage in a lengthy conversation with a distinguished gentleman who was famous for his idiosyncratic delivery of news stories with dramatic pauses. I will borrow his famous tag line to close. As Paul Harvey always said: And now you know the rest of the story. This is Gatlin
Good day.
