Sure, if you live in a refrigerator box. I’ll kick in a dime.
It is proof that children come in all ages. It should have been below members to engage in such childish crap and Liberal should be embarrassed.
And then me, please!
Thanks, I am not too far on the left anyway, especially by dope standards. It is hard to be a lefty and a Republican after all.
**PRR ** was a good poster. He is someone I got to meet once and enjoyed talking to. His baseball contributions were well thought out and second only to RickJay for baseball logic even if I disagreed with many of his points. I missed some of the other less worthy stuff he did that Crotalus pointed out to me.
I have to admit his last two months had much that was not particularly good posting, but some people took this as an excuse to immediately jump on him no matter what he said or did. I tried to defend him in the train wreck of the other thread, while disagreeing with him at the same time. In his final GD thread, I did not agree with him either. 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.
I still think no matter how little you like a poster, the act of buying them off the board is not a good way or honorable way to go about it. These jokes about being bought off are exactly why I was afraid. It cannot be good for the community of the Dope in the long run if incidents like this happen again.
Sorry for rambling. I took a break to put up the border in my daughters room and I still find myself disgusted by what happened in the other thread.

$500 to leave a message board?
This has got to be one of the more retarded things I’ve heard of. What is this? 3rd grade?
Liberal, you’re a fucking idiot if you’d rather spend $500 than ignore someone.
and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.
I hate to see PRR leaving. He could irritate, but who wants to come here if everybody has the same views all the time. I think this is something that got out of hand, and earlier redirection my have prevented. I’m not going to condemn somebody for making an offer. The moderators are humans, and don’t deserve the condemnation I’m hearing either.
Wait, wait. Two blowhards get into a pissing contest now one can’t talk for two years and the other is out a somewhat substantial sum of money? In the words of Blue Beetle (and Davan McIntyre), “BWA-HA-HA-HA!” Hoooly shit. I haven’t laughed this hard and in months, which is pathetic, but not as pathetic as what just transpired. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
No, that is bullshit. I don’t need $500. $500 would make no difference in my life. I’ll keep posting to my favourite message board over $500 any day of the week.
Is, or was. I post much more rarely now than I did when I had a desk job with a fast Internet connection and not a lot of work to do. I’m pretty happy about htat.
Even then, though, I would have taken the $500 in a heartbeat. I have no illusions about how my posting here makes the world a better place. I really don’t think it does. And I like a lot of y’all, but I’ve met none of y’all, and if I had to end my posting here, my head’s not the type of head that would spend a lot of time missing y’all. That’s no reflection on y’all, but on me.
I dunno. I’d feel weird about opening it up for bidding, but I’d leave for less than $500 for sure. I feel weird every year about spending $8 on this place, as if that’s money I could put to better use elsewhere.
Edit: If other folks would rather post here than have $500, I guess i can understand that as well. It’s just not that way for me, and I certainly don’t see any principled nuance to the situation.

Wow. How incredibly offensive. So, I’m a “fucking moron,” am I? I’m really so glad you’re here to tell me these things. Y’know, between this and your assinine behavior in Lissa’s thread, you’re losing my respect at an exponential rate. In fact, you’ve earned yourself a big “Fuck you” today. Pat yourself on the back.
Ever. He gets his loot in two years, but he can’t post here again ever.
I wouldn’t take the money. I’m hardly rich, but I manage to live within my means. I have no outstanding debts, and I have enough spare cash at the end of the month that I can put some in a retirment account while still having a little left over for luxuries. There are some more expensive luxuries out there I wouldn’t mind having, but if I had to choose between buying an HD-DVD player and posting here, I’ll choose the boards any day. The entertainment value is worth way more than $500 to me.
Does that make me a moron?
Yes! A big, fat moron! 
Welcome to the club. 
Off topic, but I’m still grumbling about pages 2-4 of this thread. :mad:
Can I have $500?
No, you’d only spend it on candy.
Can I have it? I’d spend it on scotch whiskey.
Who told you about her?
I love the quote, but my pitting of the mods is pretty mild by mod pitting standards. I have a disagreement with their decision or lack of in this case and I have posted my reasons why in this forum where we are suppose to address such concerns. I believe Frank and Samclem will acknowledge my pitting is fairly polite and without a lot of anger.
It seems like a pretty good club.
Wow, yet another thread shitting by Liberal in the same week as this other stuff and he wonders why I think his friends need to tell him to calm down. Perhaps calm down is the wrong term. I suppose I should have said, Liberal’s friends please tell him to stop acting like a braying ass.
Jim
wow. You’re easily offended.
If the shoe fits.
Someone needs to, apparently.
You never had mine, so I guess now it’s even.
I’m gonna go cry in my pillow now. Go fuck yourself.
