Oh, a couple of your soc… er, minions jump to your defense, but the evidence remains. More importantly, though, you didn’t get the hint. So what do you do? Continue in your trollish, jerkish ways by posting your little _bon mots_ in this thread.

I will agree that **weirddave** ’s “suggestion” in the previous thread was entirely uncalled-for, but I understand his frustration, as no one seems to understand why you’re continuing to be a grade-A prick. You’re not funny, you’re not particularly smart, you’re not witty, you’re just… annoying. Care to tell us why? Or are you going to post-and-run again?

First of all, I really resent being called a “minion” just because I happen to agree with _most_ of **Bossk’s** opinions of you **Espirix**. And that I don’t happen to agree with people that he’s the root of all evil. That doesn’t make me his servant or follower. I don’t agree with every single thing that **Bossk** says, just most of what he says about you, **Espirix**. For example, he started a thread with a question about Tom Cruise which made it evident that he’s not “Maverick’s” biggest fan. I on the other hand, **love** most of his movies.
Secondly, it seems now that two people (three if you include **Bossk** ) have publicly stated their dismay at **Weirddave’s** suggestion to me in an earlier thread, but Mr. Dave himself doesn’t agree, for he has yet to say word one about it to me.
And finally… when did some people suddenly decide that **Bossk** is spelled with a capital “K”? If you look at his posts (which you must because you certainly bitch about them often enough) you’ll clearly see it is lower case.

I have a question for some of you. Why do you folks who consider Bossk to such an insignificant twerp allow him to twist your tail so?

Yeah, I wondered if I did that when I saw a different post of Exprix’s.
Pretty ironic, huh?
I wasn’t trying to be an ass by asking that though. I find it quite humorous that so many people have begun capitalizing the “K”.
I’m not perfect and I’ll be the first to admit it.

Yes, we’re all painfully, nauseatingly, headache-inducingly aware of Bossk’s and dalovindj’s and Devil May Care’s opinions about Esprix. Do we need to hear them every single day in umpteen million threads? Wouldn’t it be easier just to change your sig lines to “I don’t like Esprix?”
Pointless repetition and sniping make the Baby Jesus cry.

I really don’t know why I even cared enough to check, but for some reason, I did.
Turns out only one person ( **gobear** ) did this.
Between this, and the fact that you find **Bossk** amusing, I conclude that you are very easily entertained.

I am agog.
Thank you, **BuddhaDog** for doing all that research (although some links were posted twice and some of them made no sense in the context of your post). It is a pity, however, that you missed all the _other_ threads I’ve posted - the welcomes to new members, the Dopetoberfest threads, the happy birthday threads, the Great Debates, and so on. No, no, no - never mind all that. All that matters is that you agree that I’m a jerk, and that, once again, my **One Trick Pony[sup]TM[/sup]** status remains unchallenged. (Has anyone else seen this before?) All I care about is being gay, after all, so what does the rest of it matter?
**Milossarian** , in case you missed it, I wasn’t rude to her, but I was honest. I’m sorry you see that as being an insensitive jerk, but, _as I said_ after as many times as it’s happened to me, it becomes an annoyance. I am regretting sharing any of life’s little annoyances on here any more.
**Devil May Care** , I retract the minion comment. You are your own person - fly, be free.
**UncleBeer** , I’m sorry I continue to disappoint you.
And **pldennison** , I’m glad somebody got it - thanks.
I’m done.

**Ferrous:** I’ve seen it done in other threads, and I believe by more than one person. However, I could be wrong and that it’s one person doing it over and over again in the same thread. Like I said before, it wasn’t really a rant/bitch, more just a pondering of how it came about.
**pldennison:** Thank you for the sig line suggestion. I _just may_ do that. I must warn you though, it won’t keep me from voicing my opinion. Sorry.
**Esprix:** Two things. One, my apologies to you personally for mispelling your name in my earlier post. Two, [sarcasm]thank you soooo much for giving me my freedom.[/sarcasm]

Backpedal, huh? So you didn’t mean to call me a pissant now, you meant it back then. Well your phrasing got the wrong tense, cause it sure seemed like the statement was “They ARE pissants” and not “They were behaving like pissants when I started that thread”. But you also got the meaning across incorrectly, so let’s say I give you the benefit of the doubt, and it was an error. Once again you can’t make a retraction without insulting me further. Now it’s “little prick” as well as pissant.

Laughable. Let’s play a little Missing Link, shall we? [You](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=90137) [have](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93895) [fucked](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=92255) with me several times since our inital misunderstanding (on your part) induced clash. The only time you post to my threads is to express your dislike of them or disagreement with their topics. And then you make a backhanded attack in this thread very shortly after **TubaDiva** [scolded](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=97453&pagenumber=2) you for those type of attacks.
I did not even know you existed until you decided to attack me, you should think about that. Then you start threads asking me to “lay off”. You get what you give mother fucker, and you give a ton of shit to people who don’t really deserve it. When they call you on it, you insult them. Where I’m from that makes you a jerk.
> [@](#):

No, I expect you to respond in malice, because that is the only thing you have ever displayed in any conversation with me. Kindness is a quality you seem to hold back whenever we get together. Oh, and about that thread that I didn’t respond to: 5000 means 5000. Not 6000, not 7000, but 5-mutha-fuckin-thousand so live with it, bitch. If you wanna start a new thread with a fresh rant, I’ll go a little zappytag with ya. But I aint goin back to that thread. Deal.
> [@](#):

> Let it fucking go - I have.
I’m down. How about you don’t say anything negative about me or my posts, and I’ll return the favor. Even if I’m thinking them. Obviously, this is not a courtesy one would typically give to posters, but given our relationship here, I think a no negativity rule would do us good. But have it either way big boy. You wanna bang out some pit action? Let’s “rock”. You wanna end this stupid shit? Say the word. If I don’t see another attack, negative comment, or insult (direct or implied) from you to me, then it’s forgotten on my end. You pick.

I could excuse his whiney, infantile behavior if he was the Miss Congeniality of the SDMB. But sad to say, he is not. He goes out of his way to be insulting and combative, and then when people respond, he reverts to his usual incredulous WHY AM I SO PERSECUTED mode. Know why, genius? Because you piss people off. Get it through your head. Aside from your stable of ponies, a lot of people here find you boorish and immature. Got it?
Last word.

You’re a stand-up guy, Dave.
Why does this remind me of a wifebeater making excuses?

Actually, dumbass, he was comparing me to a battered wife. The comments that **Weirddave** made which are the subject of this post were directed at me, not **Bossk**.

Same difference, frankly. It’s still an absurd and overbearing comment to make, in regard to himself or to another.
Oh, and I apologize for not keeping up. Watching you and Bossk whingeing at Weirddave was utterly fascinating; I don’t know **how** I could have become distracted.
