Hey **gonzomax** , tell us again about how the bombing of Yemen in 2002 is Obama’s fault. ---

[QUOTE=Kneepants Erasmus, the Humanist] It really seems that some of you will take any opportunity to attack him, and it makes you look like a bunch of petty bullies. If this thread had been started by pretty much anyone else the replies would be incredibly different. [/QUOTE] The part about the 2008 is just funny…and typical of Gonzo. What is annoying (to me) is the drive by link. YOU have put more effort into this thread than he has. If it doesn’t annoy you to basically be given a link and told ‘here is the list’, then I suppose that’s cool. To me it’s typical of him…he puts a link in a post (or in this case starts a whole OP), with a couple of cryptic words and expects the reader to figure out what he’s on about. And half the time (to be generous) his link either has nothing to do with the thread in question or doesn’t support his cryptic assertions, and it’s fairly clear that HE didn’t even bother to really read it either. If it really bothers you for people to mob Gonzo then my suggestion is to focus on the wonderful OP we have here, and respond to THAT. What are your thoughts on the list? Unleash your ire and tell us all what you REALLY think! -XT ---

> [@Kneepants\_Erasmus\_the\_Humanist](#): > > Seriously, folks. **Gonzomax** screwed up and posted an old link. Shit happens. So he put the wrong year in the title as well…None of you has forgotten the year in January? Nobody has written “2009” on a check, etc.? Yeah, but I never was off by _two_ years. I might write 1-5-09 on a check made out on 1-5-10, but I would never write 1-5-08 on a check made out on 1-5-10. ---

It’s not really the mistaken link that bothers me, it’s the fact that **gonzomax** puts almost no effort into anything he posts. He can’t even be assed to double space his posts, resulting in them looking like schizophrenic rambling. There’s also the issue that most of his links are to dubious sources, but that’s really a pretty much universal crime on the internet so I don’t hold it against him. Much. Before some smartass says “lol u 2 micheal ellis”, please note that I at least bothered to bold his user name, Americanized the British colloquial term “arsed”, and spellchecked this post. ---

Well, he does offer a couple of posters an opportunity to publicly preen their superiority, which is otherwise denied them. ---

Oh, I didn’t take it that you were referring to me 'luci…I’m beneath the notice of one so lofty as yourself. A mere worm in the dust, etc etc. I DO notice that you picked up on exactly who I meant though. 😛 Personally, I think your comment was just a test of the hardened irony meters out on the market designed specifically for the 'dope. Sort of a public service on your part… -XT ---
