> [@Miller](#): > > Including **Bricker** there is some serious bullshit. I’ve had my issues with **Bricker** , but anyone who thinks he never criticizes Republicans and never defends Democrats hasn’t been paying much attention to the stuff he posts here and shouldn’t be making sweeping statements about his posting habits. He’s strongly partisan on the issues, for sure, but not when it comes to how someone should be treated wrt to an accusation such as we are discussing here. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > oh, I do know him. I never been called gregarious, though! You’re a liar. I know and talk to **dropzone** off the boards and have for the last year or two and he’s told me he doesn’t know you in real life and has only recently started talking to you. So beyond “just recently started to talk to, online, in PMs” you do not know him…not in real life nor very well online yet…and it’s highly suspicious that you seem to be acting like you do. Now what does that have to do with the price of tea in China or this thread? Nothing. But this post of yours is clearly lying. Why, I don’t know…but I will say again: I think you’re a troll, certainly a sock of someone, and you’re a fucking annoying git, to boot. You treat this board and every topic in it like a chat room and then get surprised when people call you out on your shit. Yeah, troll. Anyway, as you were. 🙂 ---

You dont know as much as you think you do, Mr. Smarty pants. I think your are a Troll with power head, and you can go butt your head somewhere else. It ain’t working on me. Maybe your other group of friends will welcome you, IDK, I think they have your number though. It is a crap shoot, at best! You can shut your pie hole about me, ain’t nobody listening! Leave me, the hell alone!
