Why, John, I had no idea you were such a fan! Press them into a scrapbook, do you? I blush. But the phrase is not remotely original, I first heard it in Tijuana, doing what I oughtn’t in company best avoided.
[/QUOTE]
And we’re supposed to believe you? Have you any cite from a web page that the phrase was uttered in Tijuana at the time you allege? Why, given the right circumstances and a complete change in SDMB social hierarchy, TubaDiva would be along to declare that you’re spreading ignorance. But to be fair, only after having read a post or two about it.
Put me in the ‘BG is cool’ column too. I like his enthusiasm and he sparks interesting debates.

On the other hand, BrainGlutton is turning into the Harry Turtledove of Great Debates.

And I never said that there was a requirement to post. But if your going to bitch about the content, why don’t you step up and produce some yourself?

You ignored my point that you misquoted me. You stated that
Show me where the fuck I stated that I don’t contribute. Read my post.
Y’know, in reference to 'luci’s breakdown and thinly veiled partisanship accusations upthread, I’m going to chime in with “I’m a democrat, and I get sick as fuck of these current events threads. I’d be happier if neither BG nor anyone else started so many of them, no matter HOW artfully they bash Bush.”
So. Let’s get him a girlfriend already. What are we waiting for, mazel mazel.

And that’s my point.
It’s not that Harry Turtledove should stop writing, it’s that he should limit himself to two alt-history novels a year, rather than four or five.
BrainGlutton is an asset to the Dope, and I’m glad he’s here. But he needs to get a grip on himself.
Must…resist…straight line…must…resist…
Man, this board is prissy sometimes. I almost wish I were BG, so I could respond simply:
“I couldn’t care less what you think of my threads. Avoid them if you aren’t interested. Bye!”
…and then leave the thread forever. Seriously, people. Go outside.

At this point, he’d have to write a history in which the Republic of Haven defeats the Star Kingdom of Manticore, and then sides with the Boskonians against Miles Vorkosigan to get my interest in reading him back. -Too much dribble for too long.

I think it’s a shame that the mods are allowing him to turn GD into his blog of current events.
[/QUOTE]
Ayuh.
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE DOING THAT?!
This ain’t the '90s, doodz! GD threads on cosmic philosophical questions and eternal verities and general cultural trends are all very well and good, but we are living in a time when every day’s news might have far-reaching implications for the course of history! And we in the Doper Community, being the collective brain of the English-speaking world (that is what we are, isn’t it? I mean, isn’t it in the User Agreement or something?), have a responsibility to keep up!

I don’t know. Self-respect, maybe? I can look the fool any time I want to. I simply opt not to.
I don’t have an ego big enough to even attempt to keep up with you, based upon this tripe. Hey, I think Bush farted in the bathtub, why don’t you go start a thread about how he is singlehandedly affecting global warming? It’ll help keep your name on around 10% of the threads on the front page, at least.

This may be the worst attempt at creating a witty flame I’ve ever seen.
Why waste the good shit on you?
The bitterness of pygmies…? :dubious:
