    No, on those threads we just have to watch out for the idiotic racist troll comments. Hopefully someone will be around to catch them when I go out to work.

    Thanks Paulie.

    I guess that won’t happen so much on a thread about Kshama Sawant or Lily Tang.

    Apparently, he is overly excited that Glogowski is of Polish descent, at least judging from his last name. As for why he is posting Eminem videos in this thread or throwing out erroneous guesses about Em’s ancestry (instead of just checking), I have no clue. Chris appears to have sunk deeper into mental illness and has been posting random comments like this on a bunch of threads (much longer strings of them on some other threads, to the point where some of them actually got deleted as spam because that is what they appeared to be). It’s really sad to see, even more than the racial stuff. Chris was a very promising young man and at one time contributed a lot here as a prolific IPR writer/editor and commenter, but he apparently has some very serious mental health issues, which he did admit that he does in one of his comments not too long ago.

    No problem. It was my error in my original announcement on the state chairs’ list, which I subsequently correctly.

    What exactly do klesiak’s comments have to do with this thread? Don’t they really belong in Open Thread?

    Small error in one of the newly-elected at-large members: Robert Porter of Albany chapter, not Robert Parker (deceased creator of Spenser detective novels).

    I believe I copy pasted it directly from your prior comment. Will fix now.

    I’m pretty sure Eminem comes from Lithuania, Estonia or Latvia. That’s just my wild guess.

    I’m pretty sure you know how to use search engines.

    1972–91: Early life

    Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri. He is the only child of Marshall Bruce Mathers, Jr. (born June 30, 1951 and known as Bruce) and Deborah Rae “Debbie” Nelson (born January 6, 1955).[9][10][11] Eminem is of English, German, Scottish, and Swiss descent.[12] Debbie was 14 when she first met 18-year-old Bruce.[11] At age 17, she nearly died during her son’s 73-hour birth.[13] His parents were in a band called Daddy Warbucks, playing in Ramada Inns along the Dakota-Montana border before their relationship went sour. Bruce left the family shortly thereafter, moving to California.[14] Bruce later had two other children, Michael and Sarah (born c. 1982).[15] Debbie later had a son named Nathan “Nate” Kane Samara (born February 3, 1986).[11] During childhood, Eminem and Debbie shuttled between Missouri and Michigan, rarely staying in one house for more than a year or two, and mostly living with family members. In Missouri, they lived in various cities and towns, including Saint Joseph, Savannah, and Kansas City,[16] before finally settling in Warren, Michigan when Eminem was eleven.[14][17] As a teen, Eminem wrote letters to his father Bruce. According to Debbie, all of these came back “return to sender.”[14] Friends and family contend Eminem was a happy child but also “a bit of a loner” who often was bullied. One such persecutor, De’Angelo Bailey, beat Eminem so badly that the boy suffered a severe head injury. In response, Debbie Nelson filed a lawsuit against the school in 1982, but the case was dismissed the following year.[13]

    Eminem spent much of his formative years living in a lower-middle-class Detroit neighborhood that was majority black.[14] He and Debbie were one of three white households on their block, and Eminem was confronted and beaten up by African American youths on several occasions.[14]

    Takes all of about 5 seconds. Sheesh.
