Weeeell there's that, sure. Also your using the word "liberal" like it's a slur and following it by "you people". You know, it's the subtle little tells.

Citepanzees is funny. My problem with it is that people who complain about requests for cites are usually those who like to spout a lot of shit authoritatively.

Slimy was no different, mod rest his soul. Soon, please.

I realize that it belongs in the Pit, but really wish you could have sent it on the grand tour of all the forums before finally depositing it here. Unfortunately, I'm not clever enough (or patient enough) to work through his post and find bogus reasons to send off to the other forums.

Well, as long as he follows what he promises, that he is leaving for good, there will no need for banishment, but once again I can call them, I was expecting him not to make it to next week.

Keep in mind one of the cites slime was asked for was a link to one of the supposed non-conservative political posts he was claiming he had been making. And he was unable to provide any.

This is a guy who is unable to even cite himself.

Fuck you and the ideological horse you rode in on.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot: You citepanzees can go fuck yourself, too. I hope you arrive at an emergency room door in the midst of having a heart attack and the doctor on duty asks you for a citation that you're actually having one.

Oh, I have the theory that guys like greenslime are indeed aware that as soon as a cite is produced by them that we will notice right away what kind of poisoned wells they enjoy taking sips of.

As another doper noticed in the pit thread of his, his name is a riff on an AstroTurf anti-environmentalist site, no wonder one of his biggest failures was when he attempted to claim that it was well known that scientists never had looked at what the effects of global warming are doing to the entire GLOBE.

What did he think the "global" part in global warming came from??? That it was not named correctly...

If a cite had been produced for that weapons grade ignorance item it would had to come from a Cultural Chernobyl site like answers in genesis...

Mmm, wait a moment..

[Does a quick search]

Well, shit.

They demand also that we should teach the controversy there too, like if there it was a controversy there also, and you thought that they just stuck to biology!

Well, you are mostly right on that one, Seethruart, of moon bases and ufos in all the NASA moon photographs fame, never returned after several epic threads.

But others, like Chief Pedant tell us that they are leaving for good and just come back as soon as racist bat signals appear to attract his reprehensible fancy.

I have to agree with Kamino Neko, he's just off pouting but in the not too distant future we'll be treated to more of his particular brand of scum-fuckery.

Nah, there have been a few examples. Lekatt was one. He stayed for a long time and announced he was leaving several times and did eventually do so. Most "announcers" are religious people who hang around in the echo chamber of their own church and become convinced they can show up atheists with a few well placed zingers, then discover it is all a bit harder than that, actually. They run like hell when they realise that their religious immune system is in grave danger and they need to bolt before they catch a bad dose of doubt.

That's a benefit to the rest of us. We get to continue having fun in this thread as long as he's not banned. The moment the ban hammer comes down, this thread is gonna be locked.

How typically liberal of you to provide cites and evidence and facts and stuff. This is exactly the sort of behavior greenslime has repeatedly decried. It's no wonder he left. Facts are for pussies.

So, you think that he is "dead on" in explicitly lying that he was Warned for rules violations while his opponent was given a pass?

That pretty much sums up your approach to truth and accuracy.

What I get a big kick out of is that Conservatives feel that there is some sort of requirement that a message board have equal representation of political viewpoints.

This seems to be the boilerplate rationale for conservative posters who stick around despite vocally holding the board and its liberal members in complete contempt. I have to say, I'm continuously baffled by this. I have absolutely no doubt that there are knuckle-dragging-conservative boards which I could join merely to PALATR, and I have absolutely zero interest in doing so.

I would say my time is too valuable, but the truth is it isn't. What does that say about you and the other wingnuts hopelessly trapped in a doorless prison?

The point is that when school's in session they are too busy being in school, doing homework, playing football, drooling over the hot chick from US History, etc., to bother us.
