Wow. Congratulations on one of the meanest, most vindictive threads seen here in months. Character assassination lives.
Remember, it's not about the ideas, learning and growing. It's all about crushing the other person into dust and being the big winner in an obscure message board forum. |
I don't know about the worst...certainly the dog meat threads were pretty bad too.
btw no one laughed at my Rodney King quote, I'm disappointed. |

As you note, in your heckling style, I did delete the post a few minutes after posting it. It seems I was correct in judging that it was destined only to be laughed at... |
In fact Gopher, it was your withdrawal of said post that amused me. When I first read it I thought you'd done something very positive and constructive. If you had left it there and then actually stood by it you might have gained my respect.

I think no-one quite reacts the way you do old chap. You are a very special boy.  |

Oh, this is priceless.
"Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius's crater for an ink stand! Friends, hold my arms!"
Wait, scratch that. Just get me a violin and someone start playing it...
Our heckling Mrs. Poopypants here has deigned to declare that she does not respect me. Woe.
Actually, first you sneered at me. And your sneering tone was so palpable that I swear I could hear you talking to me through the internet...

Then you backpeddled...

And finally, you delivered a standard self-righteous judgment (and indeed, it could just as easily have come from the other self-righteous poster here, but let us set that aside)...

Then I thought about responding (again). But, you know what? It is pointless. So come back for one more sneer at me, come and take your last word. Just stick a fork in it when you leave because it looks done to me. |

| Well, if you're enjoying yourself, which you clearly are - that's nice. |
