He doesn’t want free speech – he wants freedom to spew his nonsense without being corrected. Of course, _he_ calls it free speech, but that’s just one more item on the long list of “Things N/A Is Clueless About.”

As much as I really don’t want to be soiled by participating in a thread started by Newton I just had to point this out.
Newton said

> You are out of line. Especially when I requested no further interaction with you, and you made a point of visiting every thread I did, and following me with negative commentary.
Then, he demanded for DavidB to leave you alone.
and then he said
> [@](#):
>
> 1. he is a vile threat to any sort of free speech on this board
Don’t you feel a tad hypocritical for trying to limit his free speech when you accuse him of the same? If he is to leave you alone, then you are basically asking him to nt say what he wants, where he wants.
But then, David seems to be handling your nuisances nicely, I doubt he needs any help in handling this little situation.

Why does poor David B attract so many vengeful loonies?
Me, I save MY vituperation for that rat bastard CDextHavn. Now THERE’S a guy who’s always going off half-cocked, spewing bile and nastiness. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

Gee. And we were wondering about diagnosing **Phaedrus** from his posts? I can’t wait to see **N A** ’s e-mails and web site.

This is _too_ funny. I cannot imagine anything more childish than “demanding” someone who has the audacity to disagree with you (and expose you as the twit you are) be removed. Yet that is what NA has done with David. Too amazing.
Yep, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the show too. Please pass the popcorn.

Not only will he demand, he’ll give you a smack if you don’t behave.

Yes, Ukelele Ike, squeezing retribution is mine!!!
Hmmm, that may sound odd to people who don’t know what I am referring to.

OK, I just gotta get in here!
FTR, I dont even like DavidB, but Newt, I like you way less! DavidB doesnt pick on people either, he treats everyone like crap, its part of his charm. ( And if he was ‘gunning’ for someone, he would go after a bigger, and better armed foe than you!)
Ever since you dry humped Frankie in MPSIMS, I have been waiting for you to really jump in it, and you sure have here!
Newton said: referring to DavidB’s mom

Excuse me but arent you the same guy asking for tips on how to cure his wifes stomach cramps after fucking her in the ass?
Armchair psychology would indicate you have anal fantasies about your mother.
You are one really sick individual, and I encourage you to get some help.
\*\* I officially make notice that NewtonsApple is not allowed to post after me anywhere, or it will be deemed harassing behavior\*\*
Whats good for the apple is good for me.

WHen manhattan called him out on his claim that he is a wealthy currency speculator, he repsponded by telling her that his maid made more money than she. then he threw a fit and left.
Is this a joke? IS there some dude assuming personalities just to start flame wars? This can’t, can’t can’t be a real person. Nobody is this much of a cretin.

Not Applicable: Have you noticed the number of people who have come to your defense? Hmmm … looks like somewhere close to zero.
Have you noticed the number of people who have scrambled for the chance to agree that David should be removed? Hmm … looks like somewhere close to zero.
I wonder why that would be? Could it be that they have seen your posts and your character is obviously in shambles?
If David were as hated as you claim then don’t you think there would be at least a few people here agreeing with you? Maybe that’s because you are … hmmm … wrong.
This thread was a tremendous tactical error. You have destroyed your credibility with a much larger group of people. Before, your character was constrained to just a few people in a few threads, but making this thread with such a title has called a lot of attention your way. A very poor mistake, although hardly surprising from somebody who doesn’t understand the basics of making a simple attack.

Just another free lesson for you.
The correct tactical decision, for somebody in your position, would be to gather information as to the state of the “battlefield”. Afterwards, when you found some people who agreed with you, it would make sense to get them to like you so that they would then be your allies (of course, this would have been incredibly difficult for someone with your level of charm). Then with the assurance that you wouldn’t look like a complete moron for being the sole person to call for David’s removal, you construct this thread.

Prediction: By the weekend, John John will have come to the rescue of NA. Possibly with his new sidekick in tow. Both (or all three) will make asses of themselves.

Incidentally, does anybody know what the deal is with “SINs Apple” (as in Sir Isaac Newtons Apple)? Are they one and the same, or is it just a coincidence?
(Honest question: I don’t think I’ve really run into SINs Apple – but then, I barely ran into N/A 'til today.)

Oh, and David, getting some Dopers shot when they come out here would reflectly very poorly on our prairie hospitality.

And while Yori raged against his unbending

His loss is great, but so is the gift his suffering brought.

Thanks a lot, Glitch. Give the troll hints on how to do better with his next name. “Build a Better Troll” has been brought to you by Glitch! 😉
Flyp: You reserved that table in the corner, facing the door, right? And we’ll arrange seating so I’m surrounded at all times by expendable MPSIMS users, right?
