on the ant-war movement during Vietnam from my perspective as a member of SDS , but I didn't.

Eman was a great writer, period. Always had a way with words.

Exactly. I was part of a team, back when I started my environmental career, that obtained the first federal exemption for recycling hazardous waste. It was a significant accomplishment as it set the precedent for today’s standards for recycling hazardous waste. My point being establishing those standards was the significant accomplishment, not who did what first. We did work that benefited the entire regulated community but we were motivated by self interest.

Eman was more of an activist and a social climber. He certainly wasn’t a professional in the field.

Yes, he was an activist and never claimed otherwise.

She claimed to live on an island called Roatan, or something. Damn I can't believe I can't remember it.

Beats the hell out of me. I have racked my pea-brain, to no avail. All I can remember is Roatan. Sailor will have to remember.

Where did you all find news or info about him passing away???

I searched using his screen name and his real name and found nothing in reference to him passing away.

Anyway, I did a search of archived DCJ pages for the girl you're wondering about. I searched through several archived pages over a span of a few years up until about 2014. I also searched through as much of the member list as it would let me. It only had the first page for each letter of the alphabet, but many of them were only one page anyhow.

The closest name I could come up with that sounded like it might have been her was...

URDANA.

Not sure if that's the one, but it kinda sounds like I remember it.

I also did a couple of screenshots of two classic Eman posts from The Zone, which was where he spent a lot of his time. I seem to recall he got banished there a lot.

If you former DCJ'ers recall, he was always lobbying to be President of DCJ and I think he eventually just appointed himself to the position.

Anyway, here are two of his posts:

There was a thread topic link for a thread he started about interracial dating that I wanted to open and possibly screenshot, but it wasn't working. I remember how he was always trying to piss us white guys off, talking about how he dated and had sex with a lot of white women.

"Where are the white women????" :laugh:

Here's the old header if anyone's interested:

Day-um, where did you find all of that, Wayback? If I could find some of the online now shots and see her name I would remember it. Wow, blast from the past! Ty

He was a one of a kind, that's for sure.

I remember a couple of times, late, late at night, he and I being the only ones logged on to DCJ, arguing back and forth about one thing or another, for what seemed like what was going to be an eternity, until I'd finally have to shut it down so I could get some sleep.

RIP Eman.
 
Yep, that classic Eman there...........

Can argue w/ him for an hour & end up right back in the same place, rinse & repeat.......:rofl2:
