There is so much bullshit posted on this board that is never locked, lynn, but of course since I posted it, \*you must do something about it. \*

I never claimed it to be true, and I didn’t think everyones panies would crawl up their butts like they did, so I saw no reason to go do an indepth search on it. GOOD GOD  
I thought posting it here would give me feedback. Again, the reason it was posted in the pit, was because I knew this woild happen.

ANYWAY :rolleyes:

Well, I knew I would probably get a response like this, knowing how you guys work and all.

Oh, and dingbat (guinastasia, in case you didn’t think I was talking to you) I never said that Robin Williams was a Christian, did I? And if you were referring to me being unchristian, how is posting something you got in your e mail unchristian?  
Get behind me satan. :rolleyes:

get a life, would you already.

There was a poster, once Banned,  
Whose glurge thread in the Pit was canned.  
While she bitched and moaned,  
The other posters groaned  
– “We’re _so_ sorry!”, they dead-panned.

You are so incredibly stupid, **Jersey**.

YOU call yourself a Christian. So why are you agreeing with that e-mail? Unless of course, you disagreed with it, then I was wrong.

Good god, you’re a dumbass.

Anyone who posts an email chain-letter bucket o’ glurge without Snopesing it first deserves to have the thread locked. That ain’t discrimination; it’s self-defense against moronic clutter.

And, pray tell, if you “never claimed it to be true” then what the hell is it doing on a board dedicated to fighting ignorance to begin with? :rolleyes: Especially when you care so little about its accuracy that “I saw no reason to go do an indepth search on it.” Indepth? As Lynn Bodoni says, it took her a whopping five minutes to Snopes it, popup-slaying and all. Of course, she’s probably another one of us close-minded ideologues who think having bookmarked links to urban legend sites (and using them) is a really neat idea.

As for **Guinastasia** , what she said was:

> [@](#):
>
> Jersey, not only is that a fake, but it happens to be one of the most UNChristian things I’ve ever heard.

If you could pull your head out of your anal sphincter long enough to think about it (you DO think now and then, don’t you?), you’d see she was referring to the glurge you quoted as UnChristian, not you, and not Robin Williams. :rolleyes:

I’d say more, but previewing this shows me that others have jumped in and expressed my feelings. Hats off from one limerick-lover to another, **Jervoise**!

EddyTeddyFreddy, you are so smart and clever, thanks  
If I sat at my computer 24 hours a day 7 days a week, I might be as smart as you, but my life will not let me do it. I can only dream.

Thanks, JD

**Jersey** , if you think you’re being clever, you’re not.

You don’t get WHY it’s racist and unChristian, do you?

Do you honestly think that Christ would have agreed with it? I certainly don’t.

You disgust me, and you are an evil being, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I for one would be a LOT happier if you didn’t call yourself a Christian.

I’d rather be crazy that be you, **Jersey**. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be such a miserable, bitter, spiteful, self-righteous, judgemental old hag.
