Intolerant Dick?

But your name is lee......

You know I actually enjoy the unprovoked attacks from MarkO he has a sense of humor and God knows some the the insults have been very helpful.

For a good one try "Pus-spewing Turd Burglar"

anyone else?

Sarge-
I gotta seperate myself again.

Not that you owe me any favors. At all. clearly.

But.


Read the essay by Rohr. yes, I know he is a Franciscan and papists godless idol worshippers. Read it anyway. Heck, pray for insight and an open mind before reading it. Or at least take a deep breath.

Second favor.

Don't report back what you think of it. I don't care. I don't care in the good sense, not the bad.



This is my good deed for Christmas.

"Stove, you have mail (in a minute or two)." - moonglo


This coming from one who started a whole thread to complain about people who post "you have mail". Hilarious.

Now who has a double standard?

And in context, if you would have actually read that thread at that time, it was posted in good fun. In fact, minutes after that I told somebody they had mail on one of their threads.

Context is everything.

You lack it.

. .I know I was gonna leave this thread. And I did. To take a big dump.

But as I was sitting there. Thinking.

I had this unorginal pop-psychology observation (yup, I was still thinking about TT and chuckling).


People are MEAN on the internet (TT) because there is no consequence. The gravest consequence here would be a) banning by Matt or b) being cast out . ..ignored.

We ahve proven ourselves unable to ignore. And if we did, so what? it would have to be a pretty thin skinned meany to care about the opinions of a bunch of anynonmous strangers.

In fact, being a "dick" on TT garners a tremendous amount of attention. Its a great thing. An incentive.


Conversly (and this is the epiphany) in real society it pays to be NICE. Social acceptance, friends etc.


it generally does NOT pay to be mean.

The behavioral incentives are exactly reversed, at least for someone who has a mean streak in them that goes unexorcised in polite society.




Okay.

That's all for real.

Sarge keeps whining about "unprovoked attacks". Does he not realize that his very existance is a provocation?

(damn, now he is going to know that I have been peeking at his posts....)

Oh, I read it. No, you weren't kidding. Backpedal if you must.





Oh, and let me save you a step:

"another unprovoked attack from techntrek..."

Whatever. At this point I could say "I love you" and you would call it an attack. Don't forget to call me a troll, too.

Yeehaw!! This thread is turning into something like a train wreck. All the non participants are slowing down to look to see if there are any bodies piled up yet.

http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/44045,-1.php

It also has a great example on the 2nd page of how he tried to pass off "moonglo" as a 2nd person. That was discussed earlier on this thread, too. Sarglo likes proof, here's proof.

Proof of what? Do you even know what you're complaining about anymore?


The previous discussion was crash bang saying that moonglo was a torll of moonbat, which I proved to him not only wasn't the case, but the opposite was true.

techntrek - maybe you should take a break or something?

Sarge, if you don't want to be attacked, don't post here. It's simple and efficient.

tech - Now I have to defend my honor by explaining that it was all a joke!! He was trying to ruin my reputation (kinda like closing the barn door after the horse is out!) and I played along. Do I have to spell that out?

This has been kinda fun - I haven't gotten into a good old TT mudbath in a long time. Must be the weather and lack of hiking.

Wolfie - sorry your thread got hi-jacked but that's the way it goes.

Sarge, if you don't want to be attacked, don't post here. It's simple and efficient.


Phaedrus - ask Matt if it's that simple and efficient.

The fact is you are wrong about that.

When I was banned I sent him an email with every attack on me -- remember, I wasn't posting at all, I was banned. Ask him how sick he got of those emails. Remember, that wasn't me posting anything, these were posts from you trolls.

If you theory is correct, he wouldn't have got so many emails. Your theory is incorrect.

The fact is I don't have to do anything and this type of posting will continue. I have physical evidence in the form of dozens of sent emails.

You can choose not to believe me. I don't care. There is one reality.

Excellent question. My point has nothing to do with making myself feel better. My point to defend myself is to keep people from slandering me. For example, a female on here (will remain nameless) told the board, when I was banned, that I threatened her by email.

Since I couldn't post a response, I sent that very email to everybody I trusted. Not to make myself feel better, but so that they would know that they could still trust me as somebody that doesn't go around threatening women via email. Those people know the truth and know my true character, not the character that she claimed I had. She didn't bother me, but I wanted people I trust to still be able to trust me. If you don't get that, I can't help you.

This is quite contrary to the claim you made yesterday about how you're helping things. Interesting development.

"helping things"? are you talking about improving the mood around here? well, other than you, i think i improve most ppl's moods. several ppl have told me i'm one of their favorite/funniest posters. not even the people who rally to your aid really like you all that much

You win crash. I'm sure you know this because they've told you. I'll trust this is true. You can bust on me all you want now without me defending myself. I hope you and your friends gain pleasure in that. I'm serious. Your happiness is more important to me than my making any friends on here, I have plenty in real life, so since you've just made me aware that isn't going to happen, I'll let you have your happiness. I resign. Have a good life.

How many of us here have ever been banned (tarp rat excluded) from here before?

Looks like you #&%!$ed to the webmaster (even while banned), which support the claims that you are a whiney #&%!$.

Thank you for providing us with this support (it's about time you support something! LMMFAO!).

Just calling you out to the mat. You lie like this all the time, and when you get cornered you run. I present the proof that you are always screaming for, and all you can say (yet again) is that I'm attacking you.

You are a liar. You try to twist the past and when the past comes back to haunt you, you ignore it. You are classic.
