In Memoriam - Dixie, Iconic Poster and original p.com crew, passed away 1/22/2018

[J Craft]

Anytime I wanted to shut down debate with him, I would just do this:

1/3

Hahaha! Honestly, he told me that as much as he was irritated by the dumbasses, he thought the whole thing was funny.

I wonder, if each of us died, why did we wait so long to say such kind words.

I don't know any of you posters personally, Beefy was a tough one because someone I knew talked to him personally. And they became friends.

With posters like Dixie, I rarely, if ever become friends.

Yet, through his death we (left and right) come together.

Why the flunk does it take death for that to happen for most folks?

you are right......you are a worthless dickhead, but you are right.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I believe that the incident actually occurred over on FP, the predecessor of this site. The only person who could possibly retrieve it for you is an inactive user called SR. But, he probably doesn't have any saved files from FP, despite his association with breaching the privacy of his users.

no....I remember it and I wasn't around in FP......

Nope, there have been numerous threads in which the matter has been rehashed, but, here is Dixie attempting to dispel myths about himself way back in 2007.

interesting.....so when you idiots were talking about it in 2010 it was just a reincarnation of your previous stupidity?......at least in death he is proved right and you wrong......ironic......

Nope, there have been numerous threads in which the matter has been rehashed, but, as here is Dixie attempting to dispel myths about himself way back in 2007.

It's just as he retold it. He knew what his detractors wanted him to say- but he stuck to his guns in that thread- so he did in life. I am going to miss our discussions.

Remember his ode to George W. Bush in blue jeans?

Remember when Jesus gave him financial advice in the shower?

I am sure there are more...

Dixie, the iconic jpp.com poster, passed away on Monday 1/22/2018.

For many on this forum Dixie was iconic- we all recall the 1/3 controversy (for those who don't remember, Dixie took the part where 1/3 doesn't exist). In real life Dixie lived a simple life filled with friends and family who shared his love for rock-a-billy/bluegrass music.

He was doing really well with his music these past few years. He put together a regular gig at his home referred to as the Lake House. A summer music series called “on the back deck “. It brought him endless hours of joy.

His last night on this earth was spent with a boyhood friend talking and playing music into the wee hours. He passed unexpectedly in his sleep.

Did we mention he was a huge Roll-Tide fan?

Please be respectful, if you have nothing nice to say, just stay away for a bit.

My greatest protagonist ever on JPP no one could make me claw the air in exasperation or make me laugh till my ribs hurt like Dixie. Dixie was a Grandmaster of the fine Southern tradition of the rant. To those who did not know Dixie nothing could make you stand in awe and often with complete befuddlement like reading one of Dixie’s rants and for a long period of time he was the heart and soul of JPP. No one can or has since created as many 500 post threads as Dixie did with regularity.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

I believe he was just 57.

Scares me. I knew Dixie and I are the same age. Tough blow for him and his family. It was too soon.

Well I know Dixie liked a good Cigar and Whisky. I have an excellent bottle of craft made single barrel Texas Whisky that a friend sent me. I shall drink one for Dixie. It may not be Alabama moon shine but at least it’s Southern Whisk. I think under the Circumstances Dixie would approve. Hell I may even do a Rebel yell in honor of the contrary SOB.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

shit.....I was still hoping he would come back.....I don't think we've ever had another poster who put so much time into creating long posts that didn't include cut and pastes.........

And would get 500 replies. Dixie could rant better than an itinerant preacher with Sunday dinner on his mind.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

He was a great Southern intellectual.

Now I ain’t going to speak untruths about the dearly departed but what scares me is you damned well may be right.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Ill not squabble.

Some Dixie you are. Dixie would squabble at the drop of a hat and more often than not he’d drop the hat.

 

[Cancel 2018.2]

Some levity

If he was laid to rest in this great earth, was it 2 or 6 feet down or something else.

 

[MAGA MAN]

Now I ain’t going to speak untruths about the dearly departed but what scares me is you damned well may be right.

Of course I'm right.

 

[WinterBorn]

Some Dixie you are. Dixie would squabble at the drop of a hat and more often than not he’d drop the hat.

Drop the hat? No. Dixie would throw it down and hope someone took the challenge.

But he never stooped to the mean or vindictive!

Dixie rarely used the techniques many on the right here use now, he did not obfuscate or play obtuse. He never changed the subject. He took on an argument head on and was at the least intellectually consistent. I really respected him, glad I told him so!

He did once say he would put a bullet in my head.

The word character had multiple meanings with Dixie. He had character and he was a character. Glad I got to cross swords with him and I miss him.

What you talking about? Dixie could be meaner than a snaggill toothed rattle snake if you crossed him the wrong way but that was part of his charm. His burns could be hilarious. I remember him posting on time after Darla and I were arguing passionately over something and Dixie posted;

“Oh Boy. A pinhead fight!”
