Good.

_:::wiping dust from hands… looking around for a cold one:::_

**Krisp** , as far as I can see, your ongoing disagreement with others stems from your decision to ignore anything that ever happened in the past. You believe that you can dissociate yourself from your past behavior then claim innocence when others flame you for it.

Imagine - a man murders a roomful of children then goes outside and crosses the street. A policeman shoots him and, as he lies in the street, bleeding, he protests, “Did you see that?!? The cop shot me, and all I was doing was jaywalking!!!”

Now, don’t fly off the handle - of course you haven’t done anything that compares to murder; I was just drawing an illustration. But the priciple remains the same… you can’t claim innocence of an act simply because it occured the past.

You have been a jerk in the past and posters like **Wally** call you on it. You protest? Well, methinks the jerk doth protest a little much, OK?

You said:

Absolutely.

Thank you again for cleaning up your sig just because others (myself included) found it upsetting. That is evidence of good net citizenry. I appreciate it.

Krispy’s brain rattles:

> [@](#):

> So let me get this straight…I go to the In My Humble Opinion Forum and post my truthful and humble opinion about a sport and that somehow justifies your anger?

Nope, shit-for-brains. READ. You’re entitled to any opinion you damn well want to have. You are, however, NOT entitled to gratuitous insults towards a sport (hence deliberately provoking posters whom you KNOW appreciate football). Nor are you entitled to post false statements and consequently ignore any call for proof (hence being a goddamn troll in true Phaedrus style). Read that dumb thread of yours and explain why I am wrong in accusing you of the behaviour I just described. Refute with logic. Convince with fact. If you can’t do that, then please shut the fuck up and get your ass off these boards. Do you really think people are enjoying your mental jerk-offs? Who needs an insulting asshole that doesn’t bother to prove his highly improbable statements?  
Attempting to throw in some psychology-over-the-net, Krispy continues:

> [@](#):
>
> Nah. Your problems are more deep-seated than that I’m afraid. Get a grip on yourself.

Believe me Krispy, my mental health is fine and should be the last thing on your mind. The last guy that attempted an over-the-net psycho-analysis on me is now banned. It almost seems like you WANT to go that way too.

Oh, and you might as well drop the stupid martyr act in your sig as well. You’re not impressing anyone: it’s just outright pathetic.

This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Send him to Coventry, Coldy. He’s not worth the pixels.

By the way, all of a sudden I like soccer better than hockey. What’s up with that?

Knowing that Coldfire, Wally, and Diane will not be responding to me will actually enhance my enjoyment of the SDMB.

I truly thank you.

You schmuck.

Did someone steal into your home when you weren’t looking and post that? Someone who wanted to make you look foolish by making you appear to contradict yourself, **again**?

Remember, earlier in this thread, when **Wally** first showed up and made fun of you? You posted:

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*  
> But we’re still friends…right? You’ll still pop into my threads and ridicule me…right?

\*\*

In his true DNFTT style, **Wally** ignored you.

You sat around and endured his lack of response for exactly _ **thirteen goddam minutes** _ before wimpering:

> [@](#):
>
> \*\*  
> You still there?

\*\*

How pathetic. :rolleyes:

Anyone remember that shitty Dana Carvey movie where he wakes up every morning unable to remember anything about his life?

**Krispy** , you’re a lot like that, only not as funny. And, believe me, Dana Carvey isn’t very funny to begin with.

And why exactly did you look up asshole?

Diane is right, you can ignore Krispy, I’ve been doing it for a while now.

He’s an ass, plain and simple. He can turn over a new leaf, but then he just goes back to being the same old jerk he always was.

Coventry is the only answer for people like Krispy.

I agree Ayesha. Just don’t open a Krispy-originated thread and spare yourself the aggrevation. I think all 12 of you that hate me here should do just that. We’d all be happier.

I don’t know why some of you put yourselves through it anyway. Don’t like me? Don’t read me. Pretty simple 'eh?

Krispy, why must it always be “love or hate” with you, huh? I, for one, would greatly prefer accepting you and enjoying your posts to simply accepting you as the gutter-dwelling fungus-farm that you are. I like being able to ignore a person’s bad qualities, no matter how astronomically numerous, and seeing the good qualities that dot their soul, like flecks of snot splattered across an asphalt parking lot.

C’mon, Krispity-Krunchety! I know there’s got to SOME teensy-weensy part of you that possesses some good qualities! Let it out… we won’t bite! Show us that you do have a heart, ol’ buddy ol’ pal, even if it is shriveled like a lump of coal!

I’m afraid that won’t happen, Spoofe. See, the aliens took Krispy’s heart when they abducted him.

Twelve? Krispy, there are more people here that want to see you leave then there are football fans in Wembley Stadium during the FA Cup Final. Just where did you get the impression that ANYBODY likes the shit you crap out over our beloved boards?

If you think that more than 1% of the members here hate me then you are wrong and I’d ask that you prove YOUR statement for a change.

You are challenged to prove that more than 1% hate me.

Let’s set that at 70 people. I’ll start the thread. Right here, in the Pit. Bear in mind that a lot of people might not want to express themselves in terms of “hate” (I for one don’t hate you, Krispy. How can I hate someone I hardly know?). I’ll ‘broaden’ the term somewhat.
