And to think my middle school science teacher told me perpetual motion was impossible.

Short of an actual banning, I think Dio is a good arguement/example for putting a limit on the number of posts/total amount of shit any poster can post on any given day.

If there was such a limit, there would be a shitload less of “I did not say that/thats not what I meant/your wrong because of crap examples/blah blah blah absolute bullshit” Dio posts that we would have to “suffer” through.

That way when virtually everybody thinks Dio is full of shit and calls him on it he would run out of ammo pretty damn quick.

Isnt this like his twenty something pitting? Its like a one every 4 to 6 months? Hell, even most of the people that are on “his side” on any particular argument wish he wasnt when he goes into Dio mode.

Put out the word  
**Dio** has emerged  
Surged - least preferred - from the words and threads you possessed  
But try your best, at his behest  
step up and get blessed

The word of the Lord? No, **DtC**  
anecdotal experience to heavenly decree

When you rumble  
no crumble,  
**D** ’s goalposts swing like George of the Jungle  
He’s exposed, you know how it goes  
the nitty-gritty  
It won’t be pretty  
‘cause **Dio** ain’t relinquishin’ the keys to the city

No hopes; try your post  
it’s toast.  
Get **Dio** -gnosed  
Cites and facts? You hacks  
**Diogenes** has seen it with his own two eyes, black

When the **Cynic** ’s in the house  
oh my god  
Danger

Dio, I say this with complete honesty. That’s whack hip hop, but I really did like it as a little rhyme. Especially the part about being an atheist that can out bible us, and the part about being the evidence. Good job.

As for the rest of the white folks rappin’ in this thread, ya’ll are killing me.

ETA: Jimmy, I will be singing “When the Dio’s in the house, oh my god” all day.

The problem with linking to a specific post is that there are too many.

And when has “don’t respond to him/her!” ever worked? If that were the case, we’d never pit anyone. And then we’d never have any fun!  
**Alessan** , it’s been established, I believe, that a troll does not have to fake a belief to be considered a troll.

I used to think **Dio** was a troll, then, for a long time, I changed my mind… then, for a few months, I changed it back to thinking he was a troll.  
Well, stand back folks because just a few weeks ago I changed my mind yet again. : p  
I don’t think he’s a troll.

What I do think is he’s sometimes a raging asshole, always an opinionated loudmouth, and often can’t admit when he’s wrong.  
In short, he’s no different from many people in this world, including my own father.

For the record, I thought he was a troll (for the second time) up until I learned his brother, **cricetus** , posts here regularly too. And while it’s not impossible someone’s brother can’t be a troll, IMO, it makes it less likely. YMMV.

Plus, **Dio** , for all his frothing at the mouth, actually seems to try to be kind in PMs, of which I’ve talked to him a few times in.
