chew on it, dude. It's how I feel just about every time one of the chuckleheads responds with a music album cover or a one-liner snipe from out of nowhere or some reference to the good old days followed by a reference to hitchiking or some damn "If You Can't See How Wrong You Are *I'M* Not Going To Be The One To Tell You" malarkey.
You've obviously seen the SATIRE thread which you couldn't abide. Hilarious that, being that you've approved of 'good old fashioned rough and tumble' crap-calling-out every time someone laid it at MY feet. Must be nice to have an alternative ending to the old saw: If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. The rest of us just have to take it.. but YOU, you get to lock things down when they don't go your way.
Finally, I know YOU aren't the "vampire-like creature of hatefulness who sustains his life force by sucking the joy from the lives of well-meaning people" but clearly you are invoking what you surely know by now is the primary cause for all of this:
NORTON ASH. If anyone wants to see why I feel that way his posts are searchable and public. Well, except for the ones that he PM'ed to me, the old charmer. This might be water off a duck's back if it weren't for the fact, barracuda, that he's your little Pilot Fish (heh.. and Jeff could be Pilate for all his apparent moral paralysis) and therefore he can say whatever the fuck he wants, even when it is CLEARLY beyond the pale.
That victim bit you and others throw on me is a fucking tactic and you know it.
I haven't claimed to be any more mistreated than i *am* being mistreated.
Toughen up, C_W! Yeah.. sure!
Take a joke! Don't go running and tell, crybaby!! You are too stupid to separate well-meaning and necessary ridicule from your own little feelings! You're hurt, that's YOUR problem! I got news for you - it's everyone's problem on this board and 'out there.' People cowed into silence by these same fucking tricks and the same fucking mindless 'survival of the meanest' culture we have together built.
I *am* tough. Not many other people would have come this far. Not many people would be able to weed through this tangle of psychological warfare. My toughness also will allow me to leave this place knowing I've not lost any dignity in the minds of anyone who actually uses theirs.
You're the big mean teacher fish in the cartoons oh mighty wise mystical encyclopedia of bullshit, leader of the Church of Cruelty Will Get You Everywhere. Anyone wanted a primer to understand these cartoons better can go to the Lounge and look for my 'SATIRE' thread. (which barracuda has, in his wisdom, locked.)
Norton is was the pile of sticks.. but *this* was the fuel:
barracuda wrote:I thought I made it clear on the other thread that I felt faith was an inextricable part of being human, and that I considered myself essentially a mystic.
....
On the third page of this thread, I put forth my opinion: that Intelligent Design was propaganda. Twelve or so pages later, virtually everyone here including Canadian_Watcher agrees.
HA! on both counts. Not that I even know enough about ID to agree or disagree with ANY of it, but that was never the point, which you and others REFUSED to let go of. Most certainly though i did not and DO not "agree with your opinion" - at all - and not because of 8 pages of browbeating. Fool you are to make such a pronouncement. If you like feigned agreement via bullying that's your head trip.
Once I saw how far gone you were through these two quotes I realized that to stay here would be an exercise in futility. Quite honestly I do not know why we have ANY "moderators" at RI when the one we do have is only using it for his own ego.
Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own.-- Jonathan Swift
When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him. -- Jonathan Swift
