Who is bluewine?

Bluewine was probably my least favorite tb'er of all time and I was happy when he was banned. Without saying anything that would get me in trouble anytime if I found a thread in which he posted I would either feel my blood boil or leave the thread immediately. He posts were always about him, how he is right, how anyone under the age of 30 is immature, stupid, inexperienced, and wrong, and then he would post his sleeveless shirt pics. He never made a single helpful post and would argue for the sake of arguing even if he had no idea what he was talking about.
 
He had you fooled. He deliberately played for that attention. When he didn't get, he would send PMs to provoke it.
Never had me fooled. I talked to Russ offline. He knew but had an odd way of not taking criticism well. I could deal with his flaws for in reality he was attention seeking and egotistical, hardly the only Tber here like that.

Blues problem was he wore it on his sleeve or lack of sleeves :laugh:

He had little in his life but music and he loved it.

Yeah, I don't think he was half as bad until people started provoking him further. To keep it in context, the silly PM's (and a veiled threat in my case) all came after his blowhard attitude had solicited peoples feelings toward him. It seemed he would challenge people on their experiences if they didn't conform to his world view for the sake of it after a while.

Know how you've made your mark on TB? People are still talking about you a year after you're gone. For better or worse, Bluewine will have a remarkable place in the TB hall of fame (with an asterisk *).

Okay, this is what I was looking for!

Someone referenced him recently in a thread that I had started & I just had to know more about this character. I can see he definitely made an impact given that the feelings are SO strong about him even now.

LMAO

Oh he made an impact alright...
Kind of like that fart that is so awesome....
You can TASTE it.:cool:
