[QUOTE=Liberal] And proudly, thank you. šŸ™‚ [/QUOTE] Now that you have bought off a person with an opposing position for the next two years, does this mean that by that time he comes back we will then be rid of you?

[QUOTE=What Exit?] I have a tendency to argue from a middle position so people on either extreme think I am arguing from the opposite viewpoint. I am not sure how to avoid this. [/QUOTE] Donā€™t even try. Youā€™re a good guy just as you are. ---

[QUOTE=magellan01] Then there all the posters who detest me and have asked me to go away. It is my impression that while PRR pissed people off in one or two areas, Iā€™ve pissed off more people in more areas. Therefore, if you would all pool your resources with **Liberal** weā€™d have another win-win deal. Make that, win-win-win. Possibly for just a few bucks per poster! So, whadaya say? [/QUOTE] There ainā€™t enuff money in the worldā€¦ šŸ™‚ ---

[QUOTE=Caridwen] Rubystreak, this is the topic for the other thread but I know you donā€™t think Alice was seriously calling you a lesbian. Iā€™m just mentioning this because I happen to like both of you and I thought you guys called a truce. [/QUOTE] I donā€™t think she was seriously calling me a lesbian, it was just a cheap, lame shot, an attempt to get me to stop pointing out her hypocrisy. I actually think itā€™s a form of homophobia, to accusing someone of being gay as an insult, to intimidate me into no longer criticizing her. Powerfully lame. Then QED tells me I should take that to heart as something meaningful to reflect on? Um, no. Donā€™t think so. But youā€™re right, I should drop it, or Pit her. And Iā€™ve been spending too much time in the Pit to think about getting into it with her right now. So, yeah, Iā€™ll shut up. At least, on this topic. šŸ˜‰ ---

While you are here, **Lib** , would you please state what physical ailment it is that will be shortly taking you away from us? Or is it that you are expecting the Rapture? Or is it that since your return from your mental breakdown and suspension you have been hoping that someone will make you a monetary offer to go away again? Enquiring minds, etc. ---

[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan] What minimal respect I had remaining for both posters in question has vanished completely. [/QUOTE] My sentiments exactly.

On the other hand, if **Qadgop the Mercotan** threatens to leave, Iā€™ll pay $500 for him to keep posting. And if he still refuses, Iā€™ll hire a couple of guys I know at Lennyā€™s Billboards to come around and ā€œvisitā€ with him, breaking his legs and putting him in front of a computer to keep posting.[sup]\*[/sup] So there. Stranger [sup]\*[/sup]Iā€™m totally joking about the last, of course. I wouldnā€™t pay to have **Qadgop** ā€™s legs broken. ---
