This is becoming incredibly redundant. Redundant. Redundant. **Nothing But Net** , what people are trying to tell you is that you are, _were_ being a jackass. You’re pretending like everybody’s on your case, and it’s a conspiracy against **NBN** , and all that shit. I’d be willing to take a guess and say that by this point, nobody really gives a fuck anymore. I sure don’t. I keep coming back though to see your ass flamed for every little thing you say. It’s kinda amusing, so long as you don’t get in too much on the name calling.  
I propose a solution.  
**Nothing But Net** , get your head out of your ass and move on. techchick hasn’t stuck up for you, and if she has, give us a link, huh babe? Besides, it doesn’t really matter anyway. One person sticks up for you, so what. It doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want with the assumption that they are going to back you up on it.  
Everybody else, let’s just leave him alone. I know how much fun he is to pick on, believe me, I have enjoyed watching.  
Anyways. If you want to keep at him, go ahead. But remember he’s only using this to get his post count up.  
Flame on.

And second of all…why do you keep bringing Wally into this? You registered a week ago…doesn’t seem to me like you would have had a lot of time getting to know him…  
P.S.  
Posted about the lack of link before I could read **NBN** ’s post. Sorry.

**ladyfoxfyre** , you are a prime example of what may be the problem here.

And **Esprix** hasn’t even bothered to respond to my last post. Good for him! I attribute that to him having a life.

Oh, I am the problem here? I think no. Please do elaborate. Because up until now I had no problem with your incessant need to prove that you’re an ass.

How witty. And I can’t help but ask what provoked this personal attack? Was it me telling you to get your head out of your ass? Cause everyone here has been saying the same goddamned thing, just in different words. I’m through here.  
And the comment about **Esprix** was unwarranted. I attribute that to you being immature.

I can only explain this by your mad rush to a 100 post count before me me. Let me tell you what, you can have it.

Yeah, that’s it. Listen **NBN** , I have nothing personal against you. I don’t really care that much, and honestly I would rather make friends than enemies. I’m awefully tired of pissing people off today, so what do you say, we call it a wash and just forget about it? Cause I am getting tired of this thread anyway.

OK, so you make an unwarranted comment about “someone” being a cocksucker - but you’re saying you were arguing the issue.

Then, after no explanation or apology was given for the remark (although there were some cryptic comments and half-hearted defensive remarks), and I call you on it in the second thread, you respond with a banal comment, and respond further to some (IMHO) lightweight Pit language with making more unwarranted comments about oral sex.

Your answer to all this is an apology that begins with “Jeez, don’t you have anything better to do?” (which ain’t no apology) and some lame excuses about “it’s nothing but business” and “it was said in the heat of the moment.”

So, um, when exactly do I get that respect you seem to covet? You know, the respect you denied me when you called me a cocksucker? Remember that time? Good times, good times… :rolleyes:

Trust me, you’re not worth stalking.

So I give up up even trying.

If you’re not willing to work with me, then go fuck; what do you want?

It is obvious nothing I can say will satisfy you. Sorry, that all there is.

Have a nice life.

Oh, please. How do you propose I “work with you?” These things usually start with a sincere apology, which is sorely lacking.

Read through the thread.

I made my opinions quite clear.

If you don’t agree, that’s your right.

But I am not kissing your ass!

{reading}

Hmmm… Nope, still don’t see a sincere apology (Keyword: _sincere_, without the snide comments bracketing it) for the cocksucking or face-fucking remarks.

You’re right - I’d have to disagree with that. If you like, I’d be happy to point you to a Miss Manners column that explains how to correct apologize for making inappropriate and overtly offensive comments to someone.

Dig your own grave around here, pal - from the looks of things, you don’t need any help from me.

But aren’t you the the same person who was bragging on the boards a few months ago about your promiscuity, I mean like having sex with 4 or 5 people in one weekend?

Don’t judge me motherfucker.

I was trying to build bridges, not burn them.

At this point I don’t care what happens to you now, assfuck!
