I apologized 1.5 months ago when the sock was tombstoned. I didn't ask anyone for an apology. I simply asked the person to leave me alone. It's old news at this point.

IMO, Hoyt is a dumbass with respect to climate change, and likely more. n/t Hoyt May 2013 #6

no doubt BainsBane May 2013 #7

Only three people in the entire country named "Hoyt"... Blue_Tires May 2013 #56

Hoyt Axton, but he's gone too. But there aren't many saddled with that name. Hoyt May 2013 #58

They think it's about the "planet" BainsBane May 2013 #40

There's a lot of denial. Warren DeMontague May 2013 #42
