Sarge's Question

“sacco - I'm about at a 80/20 split on BB/real person.”

“DH, aye, this week. next i'll swing back the other way again.”

“I had not considered that possibility until DH mentioned it, and then it piqued my curiosity. There are a couple of other possible ties, though admittedly not strong.”

“Sarge is not BB.”

“I've felt like he was BB for about a month now. BB posting so quick didn't help matters, but then again, he's a better troll than that.”

“I'd be happy to drink with you too SS.

I have no problem with those with different views than mine, that's fine. It's just those who express them in a certain way.

Sarge, in his trolling way, has managed to offend people of all political persuasions, and looks in to home in on people lives and deride them, and yet because he's a right winger you seem to support him in this, labelling anyone who doesn't like being talked to like that as basically stupid libbies.

It's not about his politics, it's about his obnoxious way of dealing with people.
Having said that he can act as he wants - he just shouldn't play the victim when people decide, that in their opinion, he's an ass, and deserves any negative words that are thrown his way. As I said before, you reap what you sew.

99% of people get on well here, in spite of a wide range of views, and look forward to hiking together. Why is he treated differently? Maybe you need to think about that.”

“Y2, you take him way to seriously.
You don't seem to have any problems when violin or BB do the same thing with their "obnoxious way of dealing with people".

“SS - I think BB has crossed the mark way too often in turning to personal insults, particularly to yourself, I think I said so at the time - and I think his actions have alienated him from many people he used to call friends. I think plenty of people here are justified in not liking him. Having said that he's done nothing to offend me personally.

But then again he can take or ignore a bit of banter when it deservedly comes back his way, or at least come back with a line. He doesn't pretend to be a victim, well, until he was threatened.

But then I guess the key is that I'm not defending his actions as some sort of justifiable "rightie baiting".

Violin trolls, and links to stuff you don't like, but I don't think he's made stuff too personal. I mean you do call him the vileman. He also doesn't pretend to be the victim.

Or I could just say..... BB and Violin, you take them much too seriously.

I'm not saying I expect you to criticise Sarge, I just find it weird that you defend him and blame the libbies, rather like you did with the evil little Oryx troll of Vio's or Mutt's creation.

having said that I'd backpack and booze with ya any day SS.”

“You have not read the vile man's stuff very much, have you? ;-)

The site needs Yin and Yang. All of only one side is not good.”

““I'd be happy to drink with you too SS."

If you're gonna drink SS will have to set up a seperate camp away from you. LOL!”

“"The site needs Yin and Yang. All of only one side is not good.”

So are you like saying that you are the conservative Violin? LOL!”

“Stay, I guess. I really dont care. Your posts actually add some drama on this board. Keeps me entertained at work. lol”

“So are you like saying that you are the conservative Violin? LOL!”

“Heck, SS, you've been on 3 of the last 4 trips I've attended.”

“Are you two dating ;o)”

“y2 - lets just say they're seeing each other on a regular basis :D”

“No one could leave even if they wanted to. We're in a lockdown situation until we can all agree on a new lucrative contract with Matt. He knows we're all being courted by the big guns at SummitPost.org and backpacker.com. A little more money and a few more bikini ads would be nice, that's all we're asking.”

“Hiking girls in thongs!”

“With a thong in my heart ...”

“Sarge,

Your question shows an introspective kindness that I didn't think you posessed. I fee as though I've wronged you, and perhaps you're a better person overall that I had believed.



I feel better now.



GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!”

“When I first posted here I was called a troll three or four times in a row. So what ..do you think your so special that you need to ask me or anyone else for that matter if you should continue to post here? By your handle I gather you might be active duty or inactive duty US Army. Cowboy up dude and quit wearing your feelings on your sleeve. I read and post here for the info on backpacking and could care less how many brain cells you have or want to destroy/keep when out backpacking. I stopped reading this post after the first page and had to answer you. Quit your #&%!$ing and let's go hump up to the mountain tops.”

“Are you suggesting you want to hump Sarge on a mountain top?”

“And just where is Sarge on this thread? He posted at 1:50 on the gasoline thread, so he's around. I guess he's staying.”

“TnT, re-read the first post”

“I did, but I missed the part I've bolded here: "...unless the thread stays relatively active beyond that".

I originally read it that he would be around before Friday night if the thread was active. 70+ posts is active in my book. But now I see I read it wrong.”

“Oh geeze... He posted at 1:50 on the gasoline thread. I thought maybe he would be backpacking until Friday.”

“what i wanna know is what if this thread stays active for a loooong time?

if we keep posting on this thread will we perpetually postpone his return ?

or will it merely postpone his departure?”

“Don't worry, Sarge will be back soon enough. Right now he's being humped on a mountain top. Let's respect his privacy, please.”

“Oryx was Mutt's troll.
I was greatly entertained by his antics.

I don't think Sarge is a troll, but it's possible he is.
violin is capable of pulling a troll like that off, BB isn't.

I guess it's like DDX, untill he hikes with a known TTer, there will be questions.”

“DDX is not a troll.”

“Dang, you people can't read.
Sarge said he wasn't gonna respond on THIS thread till Friday or longer if it continues.”

“Anyone that has shoes and builds doghouses like DDX has to be a troll. ;-)”

“Won't post here again until Friday my ass. If he can go that length of time without posting here I'll eat Bucks undershorts.”

“It's pointless anyway. He's like Bob in What About Bob. He's never going to leave.”

“It's amazing to me how serious some people take TT. Do you have nothing else going on in your life? Sometimes this seems like a virtual high school with all the drama and cliques and such.

Sounds to me like you're upset that you can't get more people to agree with everything you say so you're staging a dramatic scene.

These goodbye-to-TT threads are tiresome and pathetic. They should be collected into one thread and judged for their sapiness. You want to leave? Then just f_cking leave with out notice. Why the drama?

Blech! Go, stay, whatever. Good grief man!.....just find your balls and get on with life.”

“

"Blech! Go, stay, whatever. Good grief man!.....just find your balls and get on with life."
JO

LMBO. Well said, "Jo."

Hmm, I guess this is not the time for me to start such a thread.

“this place is positively dead without s-rge around. he needs to stay”

“sarge .. spock .. etc. etc. no difference and the same result - ignored - the only sensable thing to do - remember wresling with a pig gets you both dirty and the pig likes it”

“Won't post here again until Friday my ass. If he can go that length of time without posting here I'll eat Bucks undershorts.”

That does it. I ain't changin' my undershorts 'til Friday.”

“I hope nigal is hungry LOL.”

“Shewwwweeeee! I ain't seen that many burnout marks sense the NHRA was in town!”

“Whole wheat or rye?”

“Check me if I'm wrong, butt shouldn't it be on some kind of bun?”

“"butt" LOL!

A bun it is , smothered in underwear.”

“Will it be breakfast or a snack Nigal...LOL.”

“this is getting interesting.

no sarge or BB.


hmmmmm you might have a point there!”

“Interesting and peaceful.”

“Has a time been set for a Mortuary service this evening? I plan to retire early.”

“Buck, boxers or briefs???

I suppose ya might say, "Depends"”

“Way to handle yourself Nigal. A shorts stack it is. Eat hearty, me boy!”
