I could not think of any other DUer that I could count on having an open transparency page at all times trumad was it. I don't know the specifics of "If I see somebody attacking my friends, I'm going in. This is unsustainable and it is not working. The loop hole in the rules, the cleverness of the opponent, alerts, juries etc.... make it impossible to win the day." so I can't indepently judge but I think he was probably facing a suspension.

He is one of the most amusing DUers ever one of the most primary reasons is he often didn't have a awareness to some of the things he said and they were hilariously funny because some of the things he said were very inappropriate or foolish. He also could be very closed-minded in certain things he was passionate about like "little boys group". However, his style which is of course, not appropriate was very entertaining. His ability to break the rules is an art but also sometimes when it comes to something said on a certain issue or anything at all he has the perfect response.

I am a big fan of him. While he has the bad, shit stirring side, he strikes me as an honest person who will be there for you and not many people have those kind of good sides these days.

which I, for one, hope that he does.

Trumad is one of the longest among the remaining DU "originals"...

Come on back, Trumad!

that you could always count on an open transparency page.

I hope he does too not only for his insight but also he improves the entertainment value of DU

I had decided to quit DU. Trumad convinced me to continue, if only in this sports forum. I wish that he would at least hang out here. (My boxing OPs would benefit!)

On the other hand, I fully understand why he and others quit.

Maybe give him a little time. He may miss us.

He does miss calling out the D-Bags!!

LOL
