The purpose of these threads is to take the time and go back and read the threads you remember but haven't sat down with in a long time. What did you think? Is it what you remembered? Give the thread a look and talk about it.

First up: swinging. Now here's a classic. It has it all: alluring subject matter, a second account of an established poster, thought-provoking arguments, and legendary RMers at the top of their game trading conversational barbs and personal insults.

http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3837&hilit=swinging

Give it a look and let's dig in, people. The big question: Who was Name is NoMan? Let's get to the bottom of that one. If we can't, PM your favorite mod to find out! Let's go!

Patrick Bateman is really a nice, agreeable person. RM is just his outlet for negativity.

OK, I just read that thread, all 24 pages of it. Great thread and it looks like everything got covered. I would love to know if the author and his wife are still together and if they have/had any regreats.
