Now, Mr. Conservative... "I know you are, but what am I?" isn't going to get you even close to winning a bronze, let alone a gold. If you're to spread falsehoods, they need to be plausible. See above

Do you think you should be giving away your medal-winning secrets like this?
Yeap. The Partisan Olympics have sure heated up now! Rory and Sam can barely stay in their seats... |

Moderate? Do tell. Has the meaning changed to mean "apologist for..?" Seriously, I see nothing but rhetoric from you about being a moderate. I see nothing that actually MAKES you a moderate. In fact, you stated you voted straight Republican ticket in the last election, no? Thus, you cannot claim to be a moderate. A straight Republican Ticket vote in the last election would mean you support torture, renditions, the invasion of and continued occupation of Iraq, cutting environmental controls, corporate welfare, particularly for energy companies, government propaganda, suspension of habeus corpus, suppression of voters' rights... etc., etc. |

Gee, I thought it just meant John Kerry was the worst choice out of two bad choices. Of course the shrill, mind-numbing screech of lies from the left continues. |

In any case, it is not about irony at all, my friend. |
How sad. I was hoping you knew you were doing the very thing you were accusing the OP of doing ... after having this conversation, do you know it now?

| No matter. It is almost always cool for me; but only sometimes cool for you. I do try to include you in the coolness as much as possible, however. Indeed, last time we talked, I recall offering you a tequila and I think you offered me one right back. How have you been since then? |
Always love being included in the coolness, especially in the summer, and especially in times of global warming and climate change ...
Senor Cuervo is still waiting for you over in my neighborhood, as well his friends the salt and lime (more likely lemon, here in Korea, sadly). Anything can happen if we want it to ... |

Well, after a disappointing absence, Steve-O wasn't going to take Jinju's gold-medal attempt lying down, and got back in there, doing what he does best.
Rory, thoughts?
Rory: An interesting stratagem at play here, TWG. While he doesn't fully use all five steps, he lays enough of the groundwork for his teammates to come in and carry the method to completion. The judges are debating as to whether this counts as a foul or not due to their being no rules against it.
Streetwise Sam, you have something to add?
Sam: Well, man, you gotta understand that the mental lockstep of the right is their main strength. While the left continue to debate and question everything including themselves and their ideology, the right don't worry about such things. Like the Borg, man. They just come in and eat everything because they're one unified hive-mind. Meanwhile, everyone else is like, "Ah crap! What we gonna do?! Let's try to reason with this." and get their asses kicked.
Hmm... food for thought, Sam. Food for thought... |

| Excellent job, wannago! Most of the steps in two sentences! While you seem to have gotten lazy and preferring to "me too" your way through things, I'm sure that given enough time, you may be able to return to that spittle-flying warrior of old. |

| Justin Raimond and Alex Cokburn first try to slander anyone who disagrees with them. In fact that is what they spend most of their time doing. |

Mock? Interesting... I assumed that a person with a university degree might have the proper vocabulary to find the more appropriate term for what you do here: troll.
See, mocking would imply that you were intellectually superior to others here or that your presense here was more significant than that of anyone else. You'll occasionally pop into a thread and make the same ad hominem assertions that you, in the OP, say are ways for loserrs to win an argument.
That's trolling. You do it more than anyone on this board.
In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding.
You say things like:
| twg wrote: |
| Yeah, you go ahead and call me a troll. Call me a coward. We both know it's wrong. The simple fact is that I have the willingness to walk and you never will, obsessive, egotistical little men that a handful of you are. That's why I'll always win these little personality clashes. I can just leave you all pissing into the wind and there's not a thing you can do about it except yell at my back. |
But, you see, you troll just for attention. You troll just to say "Look at me! I am somebody! I want you to look at me!" You never offer any real opinion or information, you just speak in raging blather and make pointless idiotic one-line posts just so you can see your name on the screen. You need attention, and the only way you seem to be able to evoke any emotion from anyone is to troll boards and make people feel something, anything, about you.
It's sad.
Now, though, you can flee off into the night and abandon this thread you've started. You can't first come up with some witty, self-righteous response in order to make people think that you really believe the crap you say about turning and walking away, or you could just do it. See, you're a troll, and now that someone has taken your trollish bait, you can just go away.
Isn't that what trolls do? |
