I don't know where he lives/lived, but I'm pretty sure I met him years ago when the BRN forum was alive. I met him at meet-n-greet where he proceeded to spout right-wing yammer while trying to sell me some insurance or "financial planning." His style, verbiage, and in fact specific lines showed up in supysales posts. He'd also write in to the AC-T from time to time, and what he wrote there was very similar to his posts. Fools like him shouldn't be allowed to breed.
Where was the meet-n-greet and what was its purpose?
Was he old? He was already semi-retired by the time we were trashing him here.
Could be, but I think supsalemgr specifically denied ever selling insurance. Management was his supposed gig. Besides, I'd guess that the proportion of robotic rightwing dicks among insurance salesmen is quite a bit higher than the general population.

I think it was some A'ville Chamber event or maybe United Way. One of those things where everybody used to show up with business cards and an "elevator speech." Your basic miserable waste of a good day.
I'd say the guy I met was 50-60ish back in '07 or '08.
Might not have been him. Just seemed to be a lot of similarities. Unfortunately, you're likely right that there are way too many more of that type running around loose.

Was he Allstate?

I assumed SC as he was on the Greenville Gannett site way back when.

Yeah, I think so - now that you mention it.
I could be wrong, but I remember picturing supsalemgr in one of the gated communities right up the road from me, wondering which one, and daydreaming about what I would do if I ever found out.
It's ironic that they may sue for damages under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and they might win. Be careful what you wish for, rightwing Christians.
I don't know why, but I'm still amazed that, among others, the religious people can't seem to grasp the concept of "if it applies to me, it applies to them." Reminds me of the different view today's gun nuts had on gun control back when the Black Panthers had guns.
After four aid volunteers entered an Arizona wildlife refuge in 2017 and left jugs of water and cans of beans for undocumented migrants to find, the volunteers were found guilty of breaking federal law.
Now, a federal judge has overturned their convictions.
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Márquez ruled that the volunteers, who were part of the No More Deaths ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson, were acting on their sincere religious beliefs when they left food and water for migrants in the desert of the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge.
"Defendants met their burden of establishing that their activities were exercises of their sincere religious beliefs, and the Government failed to demonstrate that application of the regulations against Defendants is the least restrictive means of accomplishing a compelling interest," the ruling reads.
"Accordingly, the Court finds that application of the regulations against Defendants violates RFRA (the Religious Freedom Restoration Act), and the Court will reverse Defendants' convictions."
The Cabeza Prieta Wilderness, Arizona's largest wilderness area, spans about 803,000 acres of isolated and rugged landscape of the Sonoran Desert. The desert area is located near the U.S.-Mexico border, and many undocumented migrants have died there of dehydration and extreme temperatures after trying to cross into the U.S.
Thirty-two sets of human remains were found on the refuge in 2017, the year that the volunteers were charged, according to No More Deaths....
I'm putting this in the religion thread because Saudi Arabia is a rather religious nutjob country.....anyway, I read today that two members of the royal family there were arrested on treason charges. Of course this means they're fucked for now and all time. They were both alleged to be plotting a coup against the king and his favorite prince Goddamed Muhammed bin Salman and the king himself. These guys are fucked. I think this whole deal is significant; if Saudi Arabia descends into chaos or radical Muslim meadows, it will be hard times in the land of plenty here at home. And the Saudis official religion is the Wahabbi sect of Islam, the most radical and intolerant of Western ways there is. I guess Jared Kushner will have to go over there and suck some cock and fix this thing.
anticipated answer: did you know Israel has a wall around it? or, there is water in the ground in places. or, I like music, too. or, Pearl is a paragon of basketball infamy.
"Pearl is a paragon of basketball infamy."
How so?
Only a true Tennessee fan would still be jealous about losing him and I was under the impression that you aren't even much of a basketball fan.

My knowledge of Pearl is very close to non existent; I only posted about him as a dig at the cat fan. I have never been a fan of basketball at any level and consider basketball about as significant in my life as some local tribal conflict in the Sahara Desert. Before posting about Pearl, my only context of "pearl" was the marine pearl created by oysters and the Janis Joplin album titled "Pearl."

neoplacebo discusses his own knowledge of and thoughts about Coach Pearl beginning here: viewtopic.php?p=95214#p95214
He begins with, “I don't give a hoot in hell about basketball coaches and would never consider reading a book by one.”
In that post of his you're questioning, neoplacebo is writing in 1 FAT CAN's "anticipated" voice.

Your alma mater (I think), ETSU (30-4!), just yesterday made it into the NCAA Tournament. Maybe it will reach the Sweet Sixteen like it did in 1968. I'm rooting for it on your behalf, hominy. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2124&p=112488&hilit ... be#p112488
Now you need all you need to know to initiate local small talk with, "How about them Buccaneers!"

Yeah, the team has been touted on local news for a while. The coach, a guy named Steve Forbes.....middle name may be fucking Pearl for all I know, is on the sports portion just about every night lately. They just call the team the "Bucs" here. Anyway, I hope they do well for the rest of the run. I won't pray for them because it would be a lie if I did.
A prominent Northern California mega-church whose members believe their prayers heal the sick and raise the dead is advising the faithful to wash their hands, urging those who feel sick to stay home, canceling missionary trips and advising its faith healers to stay away from local hospitals.
Faith -> Believing in something you know not to be true.

"advising its faith healers to stay away from local hospitals"
In other news, everybody on the planet is in complete agreement that religious conservatives must have been required to turn in all senses relating to understanding irony when they were born again.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
Meh, faith won't raise the dead, but paper clips, duct tape, and high voltage electricity will. You just have to decide how high you want to raise the dead before you start.
How March Madness is planning to combat the spread of coronavirus
In a game where around 20,000 players, coaches and fans will be hyping each other up with handshakes and hi-fives -- a precaution the Center for Disease Control says to avoid for people who are at a higher risk of getting sick -- that's not easy.
One of them could mean empty seats. But can the NCAA play a game without fans?
