Sorry Chris. But when I enjoy a good post, I **really enjoy** a good post! ---

My disappointment is with Byzantine. In a battle of wits, she’s accepted the challenge of a Special Olympics contender. Shame on you, Byz. With all your attributes, it would seem you’d have something better to do than spar with one whose IQ hovers around room temperature. ---

I’ve just cast a spell of ritual magick that curses any major appliance that Brithael touches – it’s powered by posts in favor of Byzantine (the poster or the empire, doesn’t matter). ---

Dear everybody, As you can see in my profile, I am new here. But I have been coming to this board for about two months on a regular basis, reading the posts and very much enjoying them. Then one day I thought," hey, maybe I could say something. What can they do to me?" So I registered and since then I have developed a bad case of keyboard diarrhea. But to the topic: I have read Brithael’s posts and cannot understand your animosity towards him. I would never flame him. It would be like shooting fish in a barrel, for God’s sake. Have you no sense of sportmanship? The man is a mental parapalegic.He has the brains of an ice cube. Show a little compassion. Anyway, we need him for the entertainment value. By the way, this is a no contest. Byzantine, you are a Goddess. I am unworthy to touch the hem of your garment. I will build a temple in your honor for… wait a sec, I said this to Lioness already. Well, okay, so now we have two Goddesses. The Catholics have three. New Orleans has the Saints. For God’s sake, somebody stop me before I strike again. * * * You are unique - Just like everyone else. ---

OOOh did it take all of you to come up those? How many old episodes of Lawrence Welk did you have to watch to get the material for those insults? …really I would like to know. I figured you spend a lot of time doing things like that…Hunting insults up in old reruns…maybe a little experimentation with powertools on the side…but mostly lots and lots of time in front of SOME sort of screen. It must get to ya huh? Why dont you try yet again to cut me down to size with your “rapier sharp wit”. Fucking Orson Scott Card you are not! ---

Britheel…you suck, go away. Go change your name again, come back as something with a brain…bet we pick you right our again! Y’know, I have NEVER seen so many people agree on one thing in the months that I have been here…it warms the very cockles of my heart. Scott, I could watch you do this all day! 🙂 ---

C#3! You may have been just passed up as the most villified poster on the board. AS well it should be. At least you have convictions; Brithael just seems to be an idiot. Though I can’t figure out Chief’s preoccupation with him. Someone shortsheet your rack? Or, are you just bored hanging out all day in the goat locker with nothing to do but surf the net? * * * “If you stick your finger in a pie, whatever is in the pie will be on your finger, and whatever is on your finger will be in the pie…unless you wear a rubber glove”----some demented old lady ---

He certainly jerked my skivvies in a bunch. But it’s kinda fun to play “playground bully” once in a while. And yes, I have entirely too much time on my hands with this pointless underway period to avoid Floyd. ---

Geez, Brithael, I hope that vitriol was not directed at me. If you’ll read my post, you will dicover that I was the only one to come to your defense. While the others were hate-mongering, I stood by your side, firm and true. Try to be a little more charitable, Brithael. The only reason they’re doing this is because you’re such a dork. It’s just personal, that’s all. And if you’re contemplating suicide, let me know. I’ll do everything I can to help. * * * You are unique - Just like everyone else. ---
