That’s not me. Others getting pissed off is simply a by-product of my posting style. A big difference IMO. \*\* Yes, you can. And you’re skating pretty damn close to the edge, lately. In fact, while no SINGLE post might get you banned, a collection of posts might. It’s happened to other members of this message board. Whether or not it happens to you is completely up to you.

I expressed an unpopular opinion in an unpopular way. For that, I apologize to any Palestinians who were offended by my comments. I guess I should stick to singling out individual posters and call them names. You know, show some _real_ intelligence. ---

Threads created solely for the purpose of bashing another poster are acceptable, but being non-PC isn’t? Is that it? The fact that I don’t post as if I’m a sophomore at Berkeley? ---

there is a difference between posting non PC opinons, and being a fucking bigoted shitmouth scumbag. You fall into the latter category. ---

As long as you can back up the names you call them, i.e. if you call someone an idiot, be prepared to show a post or posts where that person was being an idiot, go for it. It would be safer than idiotic statements like saying breastfeeding in public is “silly” or implying that public breastfeeders are commiting a faux pas. You expressing your opinion that a person is an idiot, especially if you can point out instances of idiocy, is far safer than blanket statements belittling entire groups of people based upon your own sense of what is right/wrong in a social context. ESPECIALLY if it amounts to little more than imposing your own hangups on other people or belittling them for being different from you. Enjoy, Steven ---

I toldja he’d come around. I don’t like your opinions **Clint**. I think your opinions make you a jackass. I think the way you state your opinions makes you an even bigger jackass. Everytime I read one of your posts, I think to myself “Jeez, what a jaclass.” There is one opinion that you hold that I do agree with. You are an asshole. Here is a thread to trumpet this meeting of the minds. Clint’s an asshole and he’s proud of it. Everybody sing in your best Elvis voice _There is an ass in Central Kansas. . ._ ---

Ohhh…I get it. Insulting groups of people is bad, but if I can back up what I call an individual, like, say…fat bitch, I’m OK? ---

If you ask me, **Clint** – and I think you were since fat bitch describes me pretty well-- it doesn’t matter which you do. You’ll always be a jackass. And an admitted asshole. Roll around in it. Sprinkle yourself in it’s musky odor. Spew it from both ends like a shit-filled fountain. It’s the only thing you’ve got to be proud of around here. ---

Surely you’re not _THIS_ stupid, right? A thread complaining about what a shit head you always act like, with an administrator commenting that yes, you are in fact acting like a shit head, and your response, rather than say, appologizing for people you may have offended, or toning down your posting style, or trying to post your opinions in anyway other than that which makes you look like a total fuck nugget, you decide to be insulting and try to pick a fight. Maybe you _ARE_ that stupid. ---
