I expect that others will eventually see that the reason the board is so vitriolic and is attracting whackos and weirdos lately is out of pure disdain and dislike of David, and how the board is being run.
Anyone who reads my posts all around and about the BOARDS will see that I wasnt a menace or troll or even angry till really now. If David can incite a man like me to anger, its David that needs to relax.
I make note that I think he “gets off” on his power, position, and the ability to impose his ideas and harass others and that they have no recourse.
I think Nick and Euch have been wonderful, Lynn is awesome. But why is it when trouble starts DavidB is its catalyst, and TubaDiva is his enforcement. A 2-1 vote always because the 2 are esentially one person. Has she ever sided against him or truly been objective?
I want unbiased administration, not tyranny of the boards by those who administrate it. Otherwise this shit will attract more people who want to KILL people and harass all of us.
NOW go and check my posts in other threads before the last two days, see who I am.

Okay, Newton, that’s too far.
Even for the Pit.
And especially for us.

Yeah, well, it seems N/A has had a hard-on for me for a while now. He was all interested when Alsmith mentioned I’d “assassinated” him. Then when he posted something in the Boy Scout thread on GD and I thanked him very nicely, he assumed it was sarcasm. Also note his message to you that “as usual” and “yet again” I did something he didn’t like. Hmmm… These are reasons I’m pretty sure he’s somebody who’s been around before. Maybe MikeylikesIt and FormerAgent and that crew. Maybe not. Hard to tell these days with all the idiot trolls around.

Oooh. Scary. Go away, little boy. Your mommy is probably wondering why you’re weeping all over the computer.

ROFL! That’s a good one. You can’t control yourself and so others are to blame. You really are a child…

My mother is of higher stock than your David, she raised me well. She wasnt barnyard sodomy as your behaviour would suggest about you.

Fuck you David. Im ignoring you only so that I may live to post another day.
But rest assured I’ll always side against you.

She raised you well? Hell, you’re probably not even out of grade school yet. Come back to us when you’ve grown up and then we’ll judge how she raised you. It’s too early to tell yet (though signs are not pointing in a good direction).

**David** , please inform your enemies that with the proper combination of diet and exercise, they can often cease growing and return to their prior sizes.

DrF, don’t you know that all of us who posted links to Snopes are really David’s pawns? Having five different people simul-post (or nearly so) the same URL is clearly a sign of disrespect.
IMO, what happened is that, instead of saying “Oh, this is a UL and may not be a widespread problem,” he said “It happened once, therefore it MUST be happening everywhere, all the time, and everyone who says otherwise is a pawn of the wicked DavidB.”
You’re not always right, NA, and people who attack your position aren’t always wrong. Besides, no one attacked you **personally** in the [headlights](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001120.html) thread. You failed to show the same courtesy to others.
Get over it.

I have no doubts that you’ll side against me since you’ve already shown that you side against factual information.
Considering how much intellectual discussion you’ve been able muster, I’m not exactly shaking in my boots.
Now run along before we have to call your mommy.

He’s also been a jerk in a few threads over in MPSIMS, but nothing like this.

I’m sure he didn’t mean growing wider, but taller. You know, when he hits puberty, N/A is bound to grow a few inches. Alas, that may be a couple years away.

Newton. who the fuck do you think you are?
Every so often we get assholes like you instructing everybody how to behave. You just got here, moron, and already you’re complaining.

Well, David B. may not be my favorite David, but this
> [@](#):

> 1. he is a vile threat to any sort of free speech on this board
is ridiculous. And really, it’s quite funny. Have your posts been edited or something? I mean, disagreeing is _really_ not a threat to free speech, but more of a proof of free speech.
