There are a number of posters here, of the Hyper Partisan Hack species (esp the Legal Pedant subspecies), whose screeds are burned into my brain. You’re not even close. I just remember a couple of witty comments you’ve made. And one random fact that you once posted (I saw a guy who looks just like you teaching an evening class at MATC, and I almost stuck my head in the classroom and asked “Excuse me, but are you the gentleman that always travels with two pillows and a parrot?”). I’d say, if you have the superpower that causes people to go apeshit crazy and get banned, I’m glad you’re using that power to help clear the board of the crazies. And if you can take any credit for getting JOSH out of here, I’ll start working on that statue of you… with a parrot. ---

I am enraged by the lack of links in the OP. Absolutely livid. ---

**Boyo Jim** was feeling some angst, although he couldn’t identify it as such since he was unaware that the word existed or what the definition was, but if he had been aware of it, he would know that it means a feeling of anxiety, apprehension, or insecurity and that it is of German origin and that Hitler probably felt the same emotion; not to say that **Boyo** has Nazi leanings, but then _he’s_ the one feeling the angst, now isn’t he? ---

Not even a little. I think it had to be more about those posters’ personal problems than anything you were posting. Although I have no idea what actually went on, so I’m probably talking out of my ass. 🙂 ---

You do enrage me, as does almost everyone, and I’m already beyond reason and restraint, so it doesn’t matter much. ---

Even though I often disagree with you (but seldom bother to post about it), you could never possibly enrage me after this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=582804). Of course now I’m a little enraged because we don’t have any peanut butter at the moment. ---

> [@dnooman](#): > > I have an answer to your OP. The answer is no. Those were some of the tamest pittings I’ve ever seen. Sorta my thought when I gave them a quick look. Not a single, “Stupid motherfucker,” or “I hate your guts and wish you dead,” to be seen. I’ve never started a Pit thread, nor ever expect to, but in keeping with historical Boyo Jim pittings, “I hope you get sub-optimal returns on your investments.” So there. ---

You had to go back a decade for those first two! It seems like you should institute some kind of personal statute of limitations.
