I am not a fucking Kiwi. I am simply _in_ New Zealand. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a Kiwi. I don’t need a thesaurus, either. ---

I have to admit, you’re fairly ok at pulling the easier people in and needling them in just the right way to keep an argument going, but it all feels so… standardized. I’ve seen it a million places before. First with the direct insults that make no sense so people will point out that you make no sense. Then the attacks at the “lack of wit responses.” Then the all of a sudden command of the English language in hopes that someone will come in and correct your atrocious grammar from earlier in the thread, so you can then in turn pick apart their grammar in the replies they made. Talk about “yawn.” I mean, I really do have way too much time on my hands and nothing to do, but at least if I were going to get a good under-the-bridge-green-little-man thread going, I’d try to be more… I dunno, _original_ about it. Anyway, good luck with your posting. I believe you can do it. Just a little more hard work and thought is all. ---
