[QUOTE=What Exit?] 6 posts in 45 minutes that smack of trolling. I thought you said you were not aiming for a flame out. This one especially quacks like a duck. Can I suggest you either back down a little or go ahead and commence your flame out? Jim [/QUOTE] You wanna join **Q.E.D.** in the mod wannabe category? You’d just love to ban me yourself, wouldn’t you. Wouldn’t that feel _gooooood_? ---

[QUOTE=Colibri] Yet another open admission of trolling. It’s a bit surprising to me that the plug hasn’t been pulled already. [/QUOTE] [Palpatine]I _feeeeel_ your anger. It gives you focus![/Palp] ---

[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Had I known you were waiting, I promise I wouldn’t have waited until post #98. I’m usually a bit more active, but there are a number of threads dividing my interest just now, plus I have a busy weekend coming up for which I must prepare. [/QUOTE] Of course, I totally understand. Posting in all my threads is just a small part of a busy, fulfilling life. :dubious: ---

Where did I say I wanted to ban you? I don’t want to ban you; I’d just like you to go away, either on your own or with a suitable bribe. Now, if the _mods_ wanna ban you, I’m not going to stop them. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Posting in all my threads is just a small part of a busy, fulfilling life. :dubious: [/QUOTE] Maybe it is. I wouldn’t know since of your last fifty threads, including this one, I’ve posted in about 12 of them, using a very handy feature I learned about a while back that lets you list all a thread’s contributers and the number of their contributions. There are quite a lot of features of vBulletin. I’ll have to read this [ATMB thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=384827) in detail. ---

[QUOTE=Miller] More like pity, really. [/QUOTE] boring is more like it. Look, \*\*Aeschines \*\* I’d not noticed you before that thread. But you’re certainly acting like a dick now. and not a particularly interesting one. I don’t really give a shit what you do, but if you continue like you are, you will likely be banned. If you want to continue posting here, you should take that into consideration. or not. the choice is yours. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Why not just put me on ignore and forget? [/QUOTE] Inviting someone to add you to their ignore list is just a puerile as flaming someone by claiming they are on ignore. Why not save everyone the trouble and just fuck off and go away? ---

[QUOTE=wring] If you want to continue posting here, you should take that into consideration. [/QUOTE] Despite his claims otherwise, I really don’t think he DOES want to continue posting here. This has the feel of a deliberate flameout in order to feed his martyr complex. He likes the idea of being persecuted, and if he continues to act like an asshole, but plead innocence, he can say he’s been persecuted.
