Having got your attempt at superiority out of the way; please can you show me **Bossk** moments that _aren’t_ polemic? Note that I’m not saying “garbage” (to use your quaint Americanism). I want to know what he’s posted that isn’t attacks on other people. If it isn’t more than 50% of his posts, then I think we’re somewhat justified in claiming that he is a somewhat less than pleasant person. Hell - it should really be more than 90%, but we’ll settle for 50% for now. pan ---

In my hasty reply, it didn’t hit me until after I posted that the original spelling was an alternatively correct spelling. My most humble apologies. I don’t know the easy way to post a link to his “nicey nice” posts, or I would. Sorry. And I’m not saying that 50% or more of his posts _are_ sugar and spice. In fact, I’m almost sure they aren’t. My only point was that not 100% of them are polemic (happy now?). Thanks for telling me that my use the word garbage is quant Americanism. Perhaps I should have used the words “argumentative”, “belligerant” or “contentious” so that I _sound_ more sophisticated, like you…? Would that appease her highness? Once again this thread has been hijacked and turned into a spin off of an entirely separate thread. I realize that I’ve contributed to the hijacking, and apologize to the innocents for my contribution to their subjection to it. ---

Hey - if you want to replace my words with words that don’t mean the same thing then don’t go crying when you’re called on it. pan ---

Hey, Devil… You claim that not all of Bossk’s posts are personal attacks. Nobody has ever claimed otherwise. But this is not a defense. Take a look at some of the other posters in the past that had been banned (or otherwise left the Board). Freakfreely, Satan, Silo… the vast majority of their posts had nothing to do with personal attacks. You can’t “dilute” the assholic posts with “witty” ones (although I fail to see what’s “witty” about “Hey, this movie sucked!”). A person can have a million posts, all of them the epitome of wit and humor and information, but if he suddenly starts acting like an asshole, I’m going to treat him like an asshole. Go read the thread dedicated to Bossk, and I re-iterate my challenge to you here: **How can you reconcile the fact that he has made so many unprovoked personal attacks on people?** And as for Bossk… well… he’s just envious of my devilish good looks. We’re still waiting for the spineless wombat munger to post a picture of himself. ---

We’re still waiting for the spineless wombat munger to post a picture of himself. \*\* First: Yes, in the **Bossk** tribute thread, someone _did_\* in fact insinuate (if not flat out say) that all of his posts are personal attacks. Second: I don’t need to reconcile anything. All I’ve ever said is that 1) not all his posts are personal attacks; and 2) I’m just as disgusted by some of the stuff I see other people post as **Bossk’s** attackers are by his stuff. Third: In that thread where you called him out for a picture, he responded telling you that if you want to see him, all you have to do is go on ICU (it’s a video chat program) and he’s out there. ---

Bullshit. A non-answer from him. He could have easily posted his picture somewhere, if he had a true desire to share. This “I’m out there” is just pure bullshit. He’s dodging and avoiding the challenge. ---

LMAO Monty. I believe I apologized in an earlier post for my part in the hijack. Once again, sorry. These days Bossk is making a hobby out of taking shots at people and those people are fighting back, so any time he shows up in a thread and takes a shot, it tends to get hijacked. It’s a never ending circle, and I’ve said my piece about it and now I’m going to bow out. As I’ve stated to some people, I’m not going to say anything more for or against Bossk. And I’m going to handle myself in a new fashion around the boards, so I shouldn’t be a party to the nonsense anymore.
