BTW I actually thought TVAA had a few points in some of what he said. But the fact he went about posting in the most offensive manner he could he deserved the warning and this pisswhining is very annoying. ---

They’ve got mirrors in the fitting rooms at Neiman Marcus and mirrors in the funhouse. I’d suggest taking a moment to consider which you were being. Here’s a hint: When **Coldfire** called you a jerk he said he was offering an opinion. In fact, he was offing a factually provable statement. Here’s another: When the bell rings, the fighters go back to their corners. The one who doesn’t is DQ’d, whatever the score on his card. ---

It was a perfectly despicable post that did have an actual point behind it, **TVAA**. I wish you had ditched the former and kept the latter. ---

I’ve read those other threads, **TVAA** , and after comparing your behavior there (particularly in **tanookie** ’s thread) with your above account of what happened, I am torn between two not-necessarily-exclusive hypotheses. a: you have an almost unbounded capacity for self-delusion or b: you’re someone who takes delight in jumping into discussions and shitting on others, then crying victim when you get called on it. ---

Actually, **Coldfire** is the Great and Terrible. Look upon his works and dismay. And yes, \*\*TVAA \*\* is a veritable _master_ of restraint. I offer as evidence [this head-up-ass masterpiece](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?&threadid=226824&perpage=50&pagenumber=3) in which **TVAA** asserts that Orthodox Jews are _evil_ and _morally equivalent to_ “the most bigoted skinheads”, and that various ethnic groups which he dislikes do not exist. ---

I stand by my one comment in tanookie’s thread. I’ll not miss you TVAA. ---

Wow. What a remarkable asshole you are, **TVAA.** I’ve come across your self-important obnoxious crap before, but you really went overboard in **tanookie’s** thread. Maybe some day when you grow up you’ll understand… or not. Then you might discover how lonely life can be after you’ve driven away everyone with your contempt. ---

I’m going to ask the same thing here that I asked of the OP in another thread earlier today. Are you _trying_ to get banned, **TVAA**? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coldfires-standards-for-the-pit/218246.md?page=1)
