Assuming that’s what they want. Asking us to read entire threads in order to glean the particular offensive nugget is a bit much, IMO. OP should have linked to the 2nd page. Dio has the first post on the page, and it takes off from there. ---

Dio has the first post on the page, and it takes off from there. There are 5 links, all to multi-page threads, the last one being _12 pages long_. That’s a lot to slog through when linking to a specific post is really simple. ---

I wish it didn’t have the rind on it, that’s kinda a pain in the ass to cut off but damn that was some tasty dedgum cheese. I like mushrooms. They taste yummy and make me happy. I don’t like fromage. It sounds foreign. But I do like cheese. We are now talking about mushrooms 😃 ---

I don’t know…I kind of think that people like him make this board interesting. He has strong opinions on everything, and frequently I agree with, if not the entirety of his arguments, at least the core. We don’t all have to end up agreeing with each other at the end of every debate. Everyone being all reasonable and sane all the time is a bit dull. Bring on the crazy passion, I say. ---

I just wanted him to upload himself giving 18 bars. Man, I was hoping so hard. But, I gotta tell ya, Miller put in work in that thread. I don’t know how he has the patience for all the schooling he does around here, but it’s just really fun to watch. ETA: Renee, for the record, I couldn’t agree more with your post. ---

IIRC, the problem with **Dio** is that he forgets there really are people behind all these electrons, at which point we all become figments of his imagination, sorta. This seems to have gotten worse in the past couple of years. ---

I read the lyrics to that song. It says the N-word about a billion times. No way I’m going to put myself on the internet tubes saying THAT. ---

Dio, since that is the only word you object to, it will be very easy to still do the song. Just substitute ‘jigga’ for ‘nigga’. Rappers do it all the time when they have to edit themselves. It is a part of hip hop. ---

What is a jigga? My main issue is still that I don’t have the equipment or technological know-how to upload anything to the internet. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > But. . . I was trying to get him to enter an 8 Mile style rap battle with me in the CS thread I bickered with him in. You’ve got to admit, that would have at least been worth it. Hey yo, yo, check this out You took on more troll than the Billy Goat Gruff You think you got the skills, but yo’ debate ain’t up to snuff Your cites are meaningless before the call of emotion If I ain’t seen it myself, I negate your expression I drop sentences like H-bombs ex cathedra You think you’ve got a point ? Honey, I am gangsta Lemme ignore all you say and reiterate again Every word I said before, I know you feel the pain Change my mind, fool ? I made no mistake Better drop the matter before you get a headache Take an Advil busta, my post is my cite And fuck off from GD, you just can’t take my rethoric might. _throws mic to the ground_ ---

_Oooooooooooh!!!_ Shit, son! Shit just got _real._ Don’t let him cop to you like that, **Dio** - put your hoodie on, warm up in front of the bathroom mirror, and throw the fuck down. ---

You don’t need to know what the fuck a jigga is. You don’t know 50% of the slang in any rap. Now get to googling upload instructions. Can’t you see Kobal served you? ---
