Makes sense to me. Let’s start a thread where cat owners describe their kittens so that **dragonfly98** can give us insights into the behavior of our pets. ---

I’m starting to wonder what this guy’s “disclaimer” consists of. I am getting a laugh out of this guy though, reminds me of an old friend of mine before HE turned homeless. LOL. I really enjoy the part about how we are all functionally illiterate, especially Q.E.D. HA! I guess all the frustration and helplessness one experiences in life as a homeless person builds up and needs to be vented, what better place than by being somewhat annonymous on a message board. Least he could do is take it to a different message board, say, this one: [http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/index.php](http://boards.elitefitness.com/forum/index.php) ---

More of the same i see… Where’s the vegetarian police when you need them, HUH? i’m wondering… and i just have to ask…why does this Miller thing keep getting dredged up ? i guess i hit a nerve. Or something. BTW **2trew** you are either misquoting or misrepresenting the exchange between Miller and myself and/or the actual quote. Nice try. Oh GEE golly Whiz… i was rude on a thread filled with “macho” intelligent (read : don’t laugh) hunters and pro-hunter types who were having a discussion about the merits of shooting poor defenseless animals with guns. Go AHEAD… cry me a bucket of tears then. i won’t mind. It’s supposedly allright, even a rite of macho passage, no a supreme and undeniable necessity of survival (?) to shoot sentient living beings with guns, in the “wild” or in cages, as it were, because, i suppose … horns please… that’s the way it is. That’s fucking grade A horsesh\*te and you know it. Or at least i hope you do. i will pray for you f\*ckers tonight. Anyway this is the pit, **Kyla** and i was dragged here by the selfish, brain damaged and completely impotent morons from the other thread. i am beholden to nobody for my remarks and my behavior, and that’s just the way it is. Please try to understand. **splatterpunk** i advocate no such thing. Please refrain from speading disinformation and outright lies on this thread son. It makes you look rather…errrrr… stupid. ---

Having read through this, I still have no idea why you bumped this thread, **dragonfly98**. But I do have to admit, this > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by dragonfly98 \* > \*\*i will pray for you f_ckers tonight.\*\* just plain cracks me up. ---

Dammit! I saw this thread last night, but didn’t read it until this morning. Had I read it last night, I’d’ve been the first to point out that **DF98** is a kitten – I saw it at once, I did. Phooey. > [@](#): > > _Posted by **racinchikki** _: > **Many long nights have I lain awake in my bed, crying unto the unforgiving darkness "Whence dragonfly98? …"** That’s “_whither_ dragonfly98,” ya functional illiterate! 🙂 ---

Since this has been resurrected after such a long time (isn’t there a time limit on how long you can do that?), and since **Dragonflyu98** is obviously insane, can I (as the OP) officially request that this thread be closed? ---

I so often find these sort of threads tiresome. Arguing with someone so clearly irrational as **Dragonfly** is ultimatly an exercise in frustration, because you can’t win. No matter how totally you devastate his arguments, no matter how clearly you illuminate his hypocrisy, idiocy, and petty-mindedness, he’ll never admit that he was _wrong_. He’ll just merrily crank away at his lies and delusions, seemingly immune to logic or public disopprobrium. And then he goes and blows the entire edifice. It’s been four months since **autz** started this thread. Did anyone else remember that it was here? Anyone? Even you, **autz**? I doubt it. **Dragonfly** had long since receded into the background noise of nuts and cranks who show up on the boards on a more or less daily basis. But clearly this thread has been eating at **Dragonfly**. He hasn’t been able to let it go. He’s been lying awake at nights in his van, cowering under tofu-encrusted blankets, thinking, “I’ll show them! Filthy little meat-eaters, as soon as I can get back into that public library! Bastard rational omnivores!” This is a wonderful revelation! We may have thought we were bashing our heads against a brick wall, but rather than brick, it was more like the soft, unformed skull of a newborn infant. **Dragonfly** ’s posts may have annoyed for the brief span of time that we had to read them, but _our_ posts have gnawed at his mind like maggots in the roadside carcass of a Buick-slaughtered raccoon. This insight leaves me with renewed sense of hope and import. Thank you, **Dragonfly** , for your simple-minded blathering and improbable grudge-bearing have given me a new lease on life. ---

My theory is that he despirately wants attention. And he wants to be able to say things like call folks “drooling simpleton” and “decidedly illiterate and conspicuously chickenshit macho-morons.” The only place you can get away with that is the Pit. So he’s afraid to start his OWN Pit thread (what would he do, pit himself?) so he HAS to keep bumping this one. I’ve asked that this be closed, and even e-mailed the mods about it, but no one does anything. I’ll try again. THIS IS THE OP SPEAKING. PLEASE CLOSE / LOCK THIS THREAD.
