While there are lots of people here who hold opinions directly contrary to my own, they generally don’t piss me off, because they bring something to the table, and contribute to the debate, even if I may disagree. Clint, on the other hand… I keep waiting for him to add something of substance, instead of just posting short and deliberately inflammatory drive-by comments. But no, every post of his is short, acerbic, and pointless. He increases the board’s unpleasant tone, and adds nothing of value. His net effect is negative, and I have wished many times he’d just evaporate. I’m still wishing…
Boy, talk about thin-skinned. Who cares what he says? By making a post about how much his statements upset you, you are practically begging to have him do something like that again.
Ahem up until last July, I spent my entire life growing up in Wichita. We’re not all like that! 
Although we do seem to have more of our fair share…
Gosh, if he did that he might be banned, and that would be horrible!
I’ve read maybe, a few posts by him that were semi-decent.
However, whenever he starts spewing forth from the other end…
shakes head
Funny sentiment, coming from somebody who’s currently whining in this thread about how the nasty Big Brotherish mods won’t let him just spout off with any old bullshit he feels like. I guess you’re the only person who should be allowed to say whatever he likes, eh Incubus?
You mean he doesn’t always post from his ass?
I just had a disturbing mental image of a prehensile rectum sitting in front of a keyboard. :eek:
Clint is a moron. He should probably have been banned December, 2002, over the `nits make lice’ debacle, but he was allowed extra time here to fester like a pustule. He’s festered quietly, thus far, but his latest spewage shows how far his mentality has slipped from the norm. He’s back on the radar, in short, and not in a good way.
Well, Clint, shit breeds maggots. Don’t expect to be creating flies here much longer.
… as opposed to an undisturbing one?
Isn’t this what snakes take for headaches? 
Hope your knee is better.
What do you think are the odds that I would be actually eating a pickle at the exact moment I read that? :eek:
No more gherkins from the cafeteria salad bar for me from now on.
Look, you overweight, gimpy, breastfeeding, Palestinian-loving pansy-ass bitch, I’M cranky.
Of course, I’m also all of the above except not gimpy.
Wanna run away together?
Well, lookee here!
I’m not a jackass. I’m an asshole. Get it right next time.
Believe it or not, I do enjoy reading the SDMB, even this thread, whether I’m liked or not.
I am certainly an asshole, but at least I’m honest about it. It has nothing to do with intelligence, or where I live. My opinions may go against you like rat poison, but what kind of BB would this be if everyone shared the same opinion?
But Clint, you can still have a differing opinion, and post it in such a way as to not be an asshole.
Or, you can post your opinion in an assholish way.
That is also called trolling. It’s annoying. It’s childish. It’s against the rules.
You wanna be a big rebel - fine. But being a big asshole will get your ass booted out of here.
I can be booted for posting my opinion in an “assholish” way, even when I’m not personally attacking another poster?!
I think of trolls as those who post solely for the purpose of pissing people off. That’s not me. Others getting pissed off is simply a by-product of my posting style. A big difference IMO.
We’re not asking you to share the same opinions as anyone, we’re just asking you to not be devoid of any sense of decorum, common sense, or decency. There’s a nearly invisible line between a self-described asshole and a jerk. And being one of those gets you banned around here[sup][/sup].
[sup][/sup]If you can’t guess, take a gander at the “Don’t Be A Jerk” Rule
OK, we’ll split the difference. You’re a jackasses’ asshole.
Mr. Ellis,
I can live with that.
Munch,
I don’t post this way in Cafe Society. This is the BBQ Pit. You know, where threads titled “You Fucking Bitch” are completely acceptable. I fail to see how saying “nits make lice” is any worse than a profanity-laced rant about an ex-boyfriend, for example.
Would that be a “jackasshole”?
