Okay, sugar, let’s turn this over to the posters at large. Who would you rather see post out here to ANY topic you might post, me or this little troll? Oh, wait, that’s not fair. Okay, who would you rather have post to your topic, me Byzantine or Brithael? I mean, really, we have so much in common. I know it’s a hard choice, that’s why I posted to the pit. Let’s go, folks! ---

I’m NOT gonna get drawn into this…I don’t really know either of you, so I can’t really judge one way or the other. Besides, I’m new here and I don’t wanna get caught up in squabbles. Furthermore, I’m a non-confrontational guy who thinks EVERYBODY is entitled to their own opinion. \ well, hell, I ALMOST said all that with a straight face. Byzantine, of course. * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a BAD thing. ---

Must side w/kells, even though I already despise Brithael thoroughly and completely. I’ll side w/her any day. As I’ve said before (and no doubt will say again), Brithael bites. ---

um, since I’m fairly new here myself I will abstain, for now anyway. However I do have a couple of questions for ChiefScott. UMMM, how do you know that Brithael bites ? Does he/she/it indulge in the behavior often ? If so has he/she/it had all it’s shots ?? I want to know in case he/she/it decides to bite me. * * * t.g. sweet innocent little old grandma type person ---

Byzantine: Smart, witty, uses cool expressions like “God in short-shorts,” has offered to flash her tits. Brithael: Can’t type, has never made a coherent post, offends ChiefScott, is probably someone’s troll alter-ego. ## Well, that wasn’t too difficult. Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine ---

My my my… such a mature thing to do! I guess I am outnumbered. I guess I should just pack it in and give up. I mean God forbid I keep assaulting people with my evil typos from hell! Very amusing. Did you act like that when you were on the Prom Commitee in high school as well? Do you actually think that you can just take a vote and convince someone they arent worthy to speak in public places? Such a CHeerleader thing to do…how very …High brow of you. You can waste pixels all day telling me what you think of me or my messages If it makes you feel better. But dont think for one second that it will stop me from posting. Now… this is where I usually would include some smart ass comment on the intended targets questionable parentage or maybe exactly what type of farm animal their dear old Poppa PLooks. But since i find this whole thing too insipid for mere insults… I am at a loss. Heck ya had me at a disadvantage anyway. I wasnt aware there was a grudge match going on. Why dont we just get all our little friends together and go meet on some streetcorner and settle this like the children you so clearly are? C’mon I know the immaturity probably goes a little deeper than that. I have a better Idea! Lets just have an apocalyptic Kickball game “Winner is not the asshole!” As if it matters! “I was cured all right!” ---

I think it was Satan who posted the wonderful, “lick my bag”… I really wish I had one so I could use that particular phrase! I guess I could say, “lick my handbag” but it’s just not quite the same! Oh, and I’m just barely strapping on my pom-poms, love! Are you gonna bust out crying and run home like all the others? Can’t handle the good fight, huh? Well I’ve read that you have a broomstick up your ass so maybe that’s what is causing all the trouble you are having! In case it flew over your pointy little head: Get bent! And please, PLEASE keep typing and posting here! You just make my day with your witty, urbane, and sophisticated humor! Kisses all around! ---

Says Brithael: “But dont think for one second that it will stop me from posting.” Nor should you stop posting, Brith. You are getting better at “keyboarding”. Always remember the rule (if I may bastardize the carpenter’s commandment): Review twice, post once. Additionally, it isn’t a “grudge match” it is a “grudge”. For if it **was** a match you would be outclassed, outgunned and outcast by the likes of Byz. Oh, you blow too. Grammy: Brithael is a troll. You may catch something if one of his kind does bite you. Most often they are simply annoying, puss-filled pimples on the ass of cyberspace. Lurk a bit. You’ll come to wish you could lance them too. ---

Scott have I told you today that you are simply \* wonderful\*! Brithail…you are right, we are terrible and immature, and you are way too good for the likes of us, you should find a message board more suited to your greatness, as we are clearly no worthy of you. ---

See Kells. You got me so flustered I forgot to add – Brithael’s new D&D character is a dung heap. Sure he stinks, but look at all the hit damage he absorbs! ---

Prom committee? What a cheerleader thing to do? Someone has some “Petty Unresolved Bitterness” in his/her past. Go to MPSIMS to sort that out, Brithy. I guess it’s time for me to remove my chainsmoking, neo-beatnik shroud and don the miniskirt and monogrammed sweater. “B-B-BYZ, A-A-ANT, I-I-INE, BYZANTINE BYZANTINE WOOOOHH!!!” Brithy, there’s a thing called “clarity”. Clarity is defined as such: clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from ambiguity (ex: \* a difficult proposition presented with such clarity that everyone understood\*) Get it? You must first master the keyboard before you can command it. You must first arrange your thoughts before you attempt to convey them. Now, I want you to repeat after me. “Brithael is not real. Brithael is loverock reincarnate.” * * * Veni, Vidi, Visa … I came, I saw, I bought. ---
