Okay, sugar, let's turn this over to the posters at large. Who would you rather see post out here to ANY topic you might post, me or this little troll? Oh, wait, that's not fair. Okay, who would you rather have post to your topic, me Byzantine or Brithael?

I mean, really, we have so much in common. I know it's a hard choice, that's why I posted to the pit. Let's go, folks!

I'm NOT gonna get drawn into this...I don't really know either of you, so I can't really judge one way or the other. Besides, I'm new here and I don't wanna get caught up in squabbles. Furthermore, I'm a non-confrontational guy who thinks EVERYBODY is entitled to their own opinion.

<chokes, snickers...lmao>

well, hell, I ALMOST said all that with a straight face.

Byzantine, of course.

Must side w/kells, even though I already despise Brithael thoroughly and completely. I'll side w/her any day.

As I've said before (and no doubt will say again), Brithael bites.

um, since I'm fairly new here myself I will abstain, for now anyway.
However I do have a couple of questions for ChiefScott.
UMMM, how do you know that Brithael bites ?
Does he/she/it indulge in the behavior often ? If so has he/she/it had all it's shots ??
I want to know in case he/she/it decides to bite me.

Byzantine: Smart, witty, uses cool expressions like "God in short-shorts," has offered to flash her tits.

Brithael: Can’t type, has never made a coherent post, offends ChiefScott, is probably someone’s troll alter-ego.

Well, that wasn’t too difficult.

My my my... such a mature thing to do! I guess I am outnumbered. I guess I should just pack it in and give up. I mean God forbid I keep assaulting people with my evil typos from hell! Very amusing.
Did you act like that when you were on the Prom Commitee in high school as well? Do you actually think that you can just take a vote and convince someone they arent worthy to speak in public places? Such a CHeerleader thing to do....how very ...High brow of you.
You can waste pixels all day telling me what you think of me or my messages If it makes you feel better. But dont think for one second that it will stop me from posting.
Now... this is where I usually would include some smart ass comment on the intended targets questionable parentage or maybe exactly what type of farm animal their dear old Poppa PLooks. But since i find this whole thing too insipid for mere insults.. I am at a loss. Heck ya had me at a disadvantage anyway. I wasnt aware there was a grudge match going on. Why dont we just get all our little friends together and go meet on some streetcorner and settle this like the children you so clearly are? C'mon I know the immaturity probably goes a little deeper than that. I have a better Idea! Lets just have an apocalyptic Kickball game "Winner is not the asshole!" As if it matters!

"I was cured all right!"

I think it was Satan who posted the wonderful, "lick my bag".... I really wish I had one so I could use that particular phrase! I guess I could say, "lick my handbag" but it's just not quite the same!

Oh, and I'm just barely strapping on my pom-poms, love! Are you gonna bust out crying and run home like all the others? Can't handle the good fight, huh? Well I've read that you have a broomstick up your ass so maybe that's what is causing all the trouble you are having!

In case it flew over your pointy little head: Get bent!

And please, PLEASE keep typing and posting here! You just make my day with your witty, urbane, and sophisticated humor!

Kisses all around!

Says Brithael:
"But dont think for one second that it will stop me from posting."

Nor should you stop posting, Brith.
You are getting better at "keyboarding".

Always remember the rule (if I may bastardize the carpenter's commandment): Review twice, post once.

Additionally, it isn't a "grudge match" it is a "grudge". For if it was a match you would be outclassed, outgunned and outcast by the likes of Byz.

Oh, you blow too.

Grammy: Brithael is a troll. You may catch something if one of his kind does bite you. Most often they are simply annoying, puss-filled pimples on the ass of cyberspace. Lurk a bit. You'll come to wish you could lance them too.

Scott have I told you today that you are simply wonderful!

Brithail...you are right, we are terrible and immature, and you are way too good for the likes of us, you should find a message board more suited to your greatness, as we are clearly no worthy of you.

See Kells. You got me so flustered I forgot to add --

Brithael's new D&D character is a dung heap.
Sure he stinks, but look at all the hit damage he absorbs!

Prom committee? What a cheerleader thing to do?

Someone has some "Petty Unresolved Bitterness" in his/her past. Go to MPSIMS to sort that out, Brithy.

I guess it's time for me to remove my chainsmoking, neo-beatnik shroud and don the miniskirt and monogrammed sweater.

"B-B-BYZ, A-A-ANT, I-I-INE, BYZANTINE BYZANTINE WOOOOHH!!!"

Brithy, there's a thing called "clarity". Clarity is defined as such: clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from ambiguity (ex: a difficult proposition presented with such clarity that everyone understood)

Get it? You must first master the keyboard before you can command it. You must first arrange your thoughts before you attempt to convey them.

Now, I want you to repeat after me. "Brithael is not real. Brithael is loverock reincarnate."

My disappointment is with Byzantine. In a battle of wits, she's accepted the challenge of a Special Olympics contender. Shame on you, Byz. With all your attributes, it would seem you'd have something better to do than spar with one whose IQ hovers around room temperature.

I've just cast a spell of ritual magick that curses any major appliance that Brithael touches -- it's powered by posts in favor of Byzantine (the poster or the empire, doesn't matter).

Dear everybody,
As you can see in my profile, I am new here. But I have been coming to this board for about two months on a regular basis, reading the posts and very much enjoying them. Then one day I thought," hey, maybe I could say something. What can they do to me?" So I registered and since then I have developed a bad case of keyboard diarrhea.

But to the topic: I have read Brithael's posts and cannot understand your animosity towards him. I would never flame him. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel, for God's sake. Have you no sense of sportmanship? The man is a mental parapalegic.He has the brains of an ice cube. Show a little compassion. Anyway, we need him for the entertainment value.

By the way, this is a no contest. Byzantine, you are a Goddess. I am unworthy to touch the hem of your garment. I will build a temple in your honor for.... wait a sec, I said this to Lioness already. Well, okay, so now we have two Goddesses. The Catholics have three. New Orleans has the Saints.

For God's sake, somebody stop me before I strike again.

OOOh did it take all of you to come up those?
How many old episodes of Lawrence Welk did you have to watch to get the material for those insults? ...really I would like to know.
I figured you spend a lot of time doing things like that...Hunting insults up in old reruns...maybe a little experimentation with powertools on the side...but mostly lots and lots of time in front of SOME sort of screen.
It must get to ya huh?
Why dont you try yet again to cut me down to size with your "rapier sharp wit". Fucking Orson Scott Card you are not!

"Good night, sleep tight,
And pleasant dreams to you,
Here's a wish and a prayer,
That all your dreams come true.

And now 'til we meet again...
Adios, au revoir, Brithael still bites."

C#3! You may have been just passed up as the most villified poster on the board. AS well it should be. At least you have convictions; Brithael just seems to be an idiot.

Though I can't figure out Chief's preoccupation with him. Someone shortsheet your rack? Or, are you just bored hanging out all day in the goat locker with nothing to do but surf the net?

Geez, Brithael, I hope that vitriol was not directed at me. If you'll read my post, you will dicover that I was the only one to come to your defense. While the others were hate-mongering, I stood by your side, firm and true.

Try to be a little more charitable, Brithael. The only reason they're doing this is because you're such a dork. It's just personal, that's all.

And if you're contemplating suicide, let me know. I'll do everything I can to help.

UncleBeer, I must say I am simply astounded by your question. You obviously haven't thought the thing through.

Puzzle me this: Brithael is on the point of commiting suicide and I step in to prevent it. How long would I have before Kelli, Byz, the Chief and the others hunt me down?

The news would spread around the world like wildfire. Who would give me sanctuary? I would be an outcast, a pariah. Every man's hand would be turned against me. And when I'm finally cornered, trapped like a fart in a mitten, what do you think would happen?

Let's just say there's isn't a jury in the land that would convict.

Brithael– hey, sugar, it's me again. Your spelling is actually improving! Maybe this has been good for you. I know it's been GREAT for me!

TennHippie– I never should have started this. It was really, really unfair. In the future I shall refrain from such juvenile behavior. All I can say to Brithael is naner naner nah nah nobody likes you! Well, that's not true. SOMEBODY must like you or you'd be dead by now.

BTW if the insults are so bad and Lawrence Welk like (that's an interesting bit of mud flinging) then why do you keep coming back? I think you like it. I think there's a big streak of the masochist in you. Obviously there's a big streak of the sadist in me!

As kellibelli pointed out, you are much too good for the likes of us! Perhaps the chat rooms in AOL are more in tune with what you are looking for. I encourage you to check them out.

Our friend the Chief
In his customary patter,
Accuses Brithael
Of ingesting fecal matter,
Brithael sputters, in fits and starts,
And claims he does it
To increase his smarts.
