> [@duffer](#): > > Well, I guess I have no choice but to go away. I’ve outed myself as someone who has different views than the majority of the SDMB posters. Yes, you do indeed have views different than the majority of the SDMB posters. The majority of the posters on the SDMB, liberal or conservative, pro-war or anti-war, have views that are intelligent, informed, and articulate. Your views are ignorant, idiotic, and incomprehensible. I’m sure you can understand why this causes you so much friction around here. ---

I bow to your superior debating skills. I guess my opinion is invalid since I can’t make it eloquent enough. I tend to let emotion into my arguments, and wrongfully allow my debates to be fashioned in a way that would be much more meaningful if it were a face-to-face. Message boards don’t allow for such discourse. I’m not an idiot, I am quite open for debate with anyone, and I am the type of person you’d want on your side in real life. Guess it just doesn’t come across in the written format. What can ya do? ---

> [@duffer](#): > > Bush is so bad? OK, won’t argue. Just let us know what party you are running under so we can vote for you. Since you seem to have all the answers. I’d love to vote for someone that can tell me what will happen in the future and how s/he would handle it. So bring it on. Tell us how you will keep the free world free without hurting a hair on a single beetle. I’m waiting. If a hungry bear were chasing Bush and me through the woods, I would not have to run faster than the bear, just faster than Bush. And Bush just stopped to step on a bug. Hint: Bear = world events, running speed = intelligence, bug = Iraq ---

My last MPSIMS thread had your single post insulring me there too. In case you missed my response to that, maybe you’ll see this one. Fuck off. Take your busted-ass elsewhere stalker. ---

> [@duffer](#): > > …and I am the type of person you’d want on your side in real life. I am _really_ not so sure about this. :wally Duffer, you’ve indeed made an something of ass of yourself in this thread. I suggest to you that your cut your losses, and try to do better next time in a different thread. If you can’t see the wisdom in that, then you really are as much of a moron as everyone has been saying. Sorry to call a spade a spade here: maybe you are a decent guy IRL. Nevertheless, this thread isn’t working out so well for you. ---

Oh thanks, now I have to watch 11 hours of gay porn to coax my genitals out of hiding at the thought of your thinking I might consider having sex with you. Besides, it’s not like I’m the _only_ person who’s insulting you. Stop fixating. Or better yet, stop saying stupid-ass things and making it so easy, you attention whore.
