Well, maybe if you actually said something that was on-topic, we wouldn’t have to flame you.
And if you consider this flaming, you obviously haven’t hung out in the pit much, darlin’.
You could be right, but his behavior has struck me as being a little too close to troll-like here of late.
Actually, no. Saying “You know, you folks may have a point…maybe it’s just not possible to maintain a state of high dudgeon about, well, anything that hasn’t directly affected you when you have a whole life to maintain as well” will not get you flamed.
Even saying “I disagree with the general selfish (IMO) attitude in regards to the 9/11 disaster, but you’re right…you all have a right to believe and act in any legal way you wish to” will at best get a few snarky comments about the word “selfish”.
All I can say is that if the best you can do in response to a substantive Pit thread (which is basically in conjunction with a substantive GD thread) is to run to your bedroom, slam the door, and turn up your headphones so you can’t hear what we’re saying, you’re not going to last very long on a message board which includes the BBQ Pit…

READING A BOOK!??!?!?!??!
YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING THE NEWS!!!
GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND YOU GODDAMN OSTRICH! STOP HIDING BEHIND ENTERTAINMENT AND THE CAPITALISTIC HELLHOLE MEDIA!!!
LMFQAO!
jayjay
No doubt he’s reading Taliban by Ahmed Rashid. He wouldn’t stoop to entertaining himself with Harry Potter or a Stephen King tome. It’s all for the pursuit of enlightenment and gaining a deeper understanding.
Yes sir, no goddamn McDonald’s eating or Nike worshipping capatalism for clayton. In fact, his mom even e-mailed me to tell me how much he hates McNuggets and will only wear Buster Browns. 'Struth.
Well, does it count if I’m eating at McDonalds, while reading Our Own Backyard: the United States in Central America, 1977-1992? Or is that to bizarre?
Guin, you’re such a chicken-shit. Get off the fence and choose a side!
BTW - what kind of shoes are you wearing?
What else are you wearing? 
But sitting on the fence is…ahhh…quite…enjoyable…
Hmmm…purple plush slippers with big black paw prints and pjs with cat-angels on them. It’s FREEZING in here!
How dare you think of your own pleasure when there are starving children in Afghanistan?
Yeah and we’re killing them too. And the book is a fav of mine, 1984.
Did you entirely miss my point or are you deliberately obtuse, dear?
no, i get your point, i just don’t care about it anymore, i know your feelings on this so why not just try to make this something interesting, u ever read that book?
Okay, that does it.
I say someone should automatically be banned for substituting:
u for you
r for are
2 for two
AAAAAHHHH!!!
deal w/ it.
He can’t be bothered to spell out those words properly, Guin. The effort would be better spent Making The World A Better Place™. Or, conversely, whining about how others are failing to Make The World A Better Place™, followed by the sudden development of an utter lack of interest in the entire discussion merely because others call him out on it.
Really, Guin. Use your head. :rolleyes:
chikki u r going 2 scare away clayton again!
Hey, racinchikki, WTF is your problem? So he likes to be efficient…And why are you opposed to making the world a better place? The little ™ was an odd way of marking what is to you a cliché, considering he is opposing commercialism.
If you are not at least partially dedicated to bettering the world, well I can’t help feeling sorry for you. But of course, you have better things to do, like being sarcastic to somebody who cares about the development of humanity. Two can play at that game.
Oh wait, I forgot, making the world a better place is a stupid and misguided effort. Nuclear weapons are harmless, the environment is A-OK, and we’re all secure under the New World Order forever. Our blatant invasion of Afghanistan is not only justified, but necessary to the very survival of our “civilization.” The corporate dictatorships are properly objects of praise, and we should warmly welcome their invasion of our lives. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Phew. Sorry I’m a bit late. First things first, I guess my coding finger got a little itchy there, because I meant to link to this MPSIMS thread. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Now, onto bigger, more important mat…oh, wait. Never mind. Onto clayton_e’s posts.
Well, actually, I haven’t been able to access the computer all afternoon. I was off screaming at people on the street to DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING[sup]tm[/sup] about our current situation. When that didn’t work, I went back to my house, huddled up in front of the tube and taped my eyelids open so that I wouldn’t miss a moment of precious, precious news coverage.
Actually, I was at my girlfriend’s school’s production of “Steel Magnolias”. Nobody mentioned Bin Laden, but there IS a conversation about a plane crash in it. Does that count?
Look, clayton. There is no way that you’re going to be able to accuse ranchikki, Crunchy Frog, jayjay, myself or any of the other participants in this debate of excluding ourselves from the conversation. You see, we’re the ones actually debating the points of your argument, like where you claim that anybody who does anything but whine about the War on Terrorism is being lulled into a stupor by the same media that’s broadcasting updates about it 24/7. You’re the one whose posts seem to have some sort of word limit on them, so that you can only express one piece of convuluted logic per post.
Now, care to actually discuss the issue, or shall I call you a poopy head?
(Oh, and racinchikki, I laughed my ass off over the “reading?!” post. Genius).
Where does she say she’s opposed to this?
Is it me or is Palve having a separate conversation than the rest of us? Palve, I don’t care if someone wants to make the world a better place. Who doesn’t want that? The point here is that clayton aired some opinions publicly and now refuses to discuss at all in any length publicly. I can’t speak for the others, but that’s why I’m teasing him. If he cares to actally discuss something as he claimed, then I’ll go back to the topic at hand.
