Hell, even the folks on Big Bill's board (r.i.p.) were telling you to leave well-enough alone.


Yes the debate has abated Sad Probably because your beloved gords tactics of changing the topic, misdirecting have failed. He was so pummeled the bullshajo had to give him a pity pat of comfort.

Interesting that the poll on Big Bills conclusively showed that I was the overall winner.

So do cheer on your buddy gord...just if you are going to do it then do it in private.

If not then instead of misdirecting the forum into an off topic scrap at least post something pertaining to the OP either supporting your monkey chief or STFU!

I apologise for my profanity.

In my defense: you said:

No. Clearly, being owned by Gord over and over ad nauseum drove you bonkers quite some time ago.
Get over it or seek professional help.


Are you trying to tell me I have no right to comment on the posts on this message board?
And what debate?

I don't cheer Gord, it's just that you're like a punch-drunk boxer who doesn't know enough to stay down. Honestly, you seem to have no concept of the spectacle you make of yourself- it's embarrassing.

Anyhow, I'll be happy to let you two go back to metaphorically beating your chests and socking each other in the face. Regardless of who wins the debate, the rest of us are entertained


You obviously do cheer gord. Why else did you post such an antagonistic post towards me? He owns me? You are entitled to your opinion. Everyone is! But when you come out and slam me in a public forum you open yourself up to a shot.

If you bothered to read any of my other posts you will find that I have on occasion admitted when I was wrong. I myself have never seen an apology from gord! In many instances he is obviously wrong, but he just slinks back under his rock and pretends the whole incident did not happen.

To each thier own.

People cheer on the most entertaining person, - the facts of the argument, as always are pretty irrelevant. its like a playground scrap: nobody cares who is actually right or wrong. Gord's trump card has been producing some animated marker pen drawings, and his fan club react like a lot of women at a chippendales act.
This debate could be about Gord stating that we don't need water to survive. It'd make no difference, his fan club would still agree, because he has a long established reputation on here.. thats fine, and I don't really care.
But as usual people aren't interested in environmental issues anyway, and typically lack any knowledge to judge for themselves what is correct on this subject. Its unfortunate, nay shameful, that Gord (who is famous for testing his lawyer abilities by making a blatantly wrong statement, then trying to prove it) has chosen to discredit the value of rainforests- the world's richest habitat. I wouldn't have minded if he'd chosen to argue about korean immigration policy or something irrelevant:)

I myself have found rapier to be most convincing on the factual aspect of this debate ...

Gord?

Is this your "gracious" (lawyer) way of bowing out?

Or are you too busy writing your next textbook about environmental-computer law games (and secret cool people forums), for which you will be paid a ransom I can only dream of?

Ah YES, I see!

Your mere not being here has defeated me.

I'm sorry!

Gord believes that if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS. Rapier and Grotto have produced the best argument. They have backed it up with facts. Gord has not. Kudos to Gord for taking a stupid premise and running with it. He made it entertaining anyway.
Gord makes a habit of screaming "facts! facts! give me facts!" but conviently provides little of his own.
Bulsajo, since when did Gord knock Grotto or Rapier down? Gord did some fancy dancing, threw a few light jabs, none of them that landed then fled the ring when he realized he had no chance of winning. Your boxing analogy is as weak as your thread analysis...

ahhh yes the gored fan club raises its ugly head....or as I affectionately call it the sphincter buddy club.

Schooled me Rolling Eyes

Oh yes please Exclamation

Lets see... gord doesnt acknowledge when he is wrong.
He doesnt admit when someone else is correct.

This thread is a prime example.

Your good buddy gord says that no one ever used the Amazon for farming. I posted a couple of quotes that show that oh yes they freaking do. Does gord respond? No he misdirects, changes the subject and posts more off topic stuff trying to get people to forget the fact that oh yes he was actually full of crap.

Gord has been schooled from day one!



There's a Gord fan club? I want to join!!!
