I couldn't understand why a 60 year old was pining after university life in the 90s.
Long story short, ASU was the best thing to happen to him in his otherwise completely uneventful life in "a squashed gob of dung on the Missouri Bootheel." After getting expelled for antisocial behavior by progressives, he has been bitter and stewing in grudges "fighting" to get the "perks and power" back since.

Although lately he's been silent on the matter of ASU.

He looks much older than 41. I'm convinced now that holding grudges ages you horribly.

George Orwell once wrote "At 50, everyone has the face he deserves". I never believed it would happen, but Orwell's clearly ridiculously high number in these circumstances forces me to rate him Optimistic.
 
I dunno. Along the lines of what @Dr. Merkwurdichliebe wrote above, I Optimistically hope the lull in posting, and his return with more upbeat content devoid of ASU or racist stuff, is indicative of him getting his mind a little straighter. Most people on social media tend to post trivial stuff like what they ate for dinner. Then again I've always been relatively soft on Sweet and I'll probably regret giving him the benefit of the doubt.
 
There's too many unknowns one way or another. Personally I think the only thing that would kill a ASU strategy would be the replacement of it with something simpler and easier (such as the 'work at WalMart and fund your own apartment') strat, but lolcows don't listen to kiwis; the only thing that'll change their worldview is the, well, world around them.

If lolcows left their safe spaces and hugboxes and experienced the wider expanses of the world I think they'd be a lot more likely for these things to happen (kind of like the teenager who only hung out with the goths at school but later on finds friends who are fine with wearing colours that aren't black), but this is exactly the sort of thing we kiwis tell the lolcows and, well, lolcows don't listen to kiwis.

So if you're having an Optimisitic I guess I'll have one too. :sighduck:
 
Remember Sweet is pathologically terrified of change. If there's been any adjustment in his situation, it was imposed on him by an outside party.

Coming from a forum that gave Sweet the benefit of the doubt, you're wasting your time by trying to see the best in him. Talking with him for 10 years should've softened me toward him, but actually it has shown me how obsessed he is. His mental problems are an unfortunate barrier to him getting better. Sweet truly believes in his ridiculous fantasy of liberals conspiring against him and ASU kicking him out unfairly. Sweet is his own greatest enemy. Dude will be screaming about ASU on his death bed.

EDIT: I've known Sweet for nearly a decade. I understand you guys haven't known him as long and because of that, you like to be optimistic. Do not get your hopes up because he isn't focused on ASU in his latest blog posts. Something I've noticed about Sweet is the man has a huge ego and he cannot get over himself, thus preventing himself from getting better.

Oh heavens, no, I agree with you entirely. I think that he'd been hit so hard about his ridiculous theories and so-called plans that he's too scared to bring them up anymore. It's not the insults that got him, I think, but rather the cold, ruthless logic that made it clear that those plans (as well as his experiences at college) were founded on faulty thinking and could never come to fruition.

I wonder if some small molecules of reality forced their way into his mind when we pointed out to him that Arkansas statutes of limitations have long since voided any civil action that he might bring against ASU, its students, alumni, faculty or staff. Even Haggis McCrablice would find it hard to claim that he's going to sue someone and win when the statute of limitations expired fifteen years ago. I kinda miss those deranged shouts of "We'll let a judge decide, won't we?"
 
I see someone discovered photo filters.

Dude owns a copy of Jack and Jill. :\
He couldn't even pick a good Sandler movie. :/

Cue X-Files Theme said:
Voted in by typical progressives, who make a lot of noise about moving forward but are perfectly content to bring back the same outmoded ideas they were trying twenty years ago. A good part of Hillary's voter base will be made up of people from my generation who fondly remember the nineties-- which was really just the wet dream of 'reconstituted, aging '70s-era progressives who grew up watching those dumb-ass frat movies and all wanted to be Jim Belushi, then one day got into seats of power and tried to make what they saw on the screen real. The rest of it will be millennials who grew up on the stories their uncles, fathers, and older siblings told them about those days and want to put the people who built it back into power, to make it a reality for them. That's how you perpetuate The System-- a never-ending twenty-year cycle of outdated notions, bleary nostalgia, flowery tales, lies, and empty promises.
 
I knew he didn't give up his crutch to ignore reality. Dunno why y'all think he would considering that he kept the grudge longer than many people have lived.
 
"(Edited to correct the name of the Belushi brother. But then, Jim starred for six seasons in that show with that delightful beauty Courtney Thorne-Smith, so, hey, he's no slouch either, right...?) "

Yes, Jon does read this thread.
