(Yes, I saw there were others posting. Sorry if it seems I skipped over that part, hoping Ezprix had an answer for me. Since he doesn’t, I’m going to state my best guess and let this thread ramble on without me.) My best guess: Your posts in general at the board always seem to be full of insults and hate and paranoia and a desire not to get to the point without first a bunch of endless argument. And I don’t recall you convincing anyone of anything. I pretty much just post a few things on whatever the topic is and don’t get drawn into arguments. Just state my piece, which is usually a light opinion or anecdote on a light thread. And so I don’t feel the need to convince anybody of anything. ---

AM/PMS or whatever attacked me in this thread [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87576](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87576), basically, called me an idiot(in atmb, no less), because I said that banned posters didnt contiune to post for long. When called on this, he came up with this brilliant conspiracy theory: > [@](#): > > Your comment was clearly a jibe that I was now going to be banned, and became an invitation to others to compare me to Bin Whatsit. Mind you, my entire post was > [@](#): > > Not for long clearly this was some secret code for “you are about to be banned and I cordially invite everyone to compare AM/PMS to Bin Whatsit” Before I could respond, the thread was wisely closed by the Lovley and Talanted TubaDiva. Look, dipshit, even if I _was_ saying you should be banned(which would make no sense), that still would not give you cause to call me an idiot in ATMB. If, in your somewhat delirous syphilis ravaged brain you thought I ment you should be banneed, once I pointed out > [@](#): > > How did I insult you? I said that banned people cannot post for long you should have gotten a clue what I ment, and that you had jumped to the wrong conclusion. How in any way you infered that anything about Bin Whatsit is totally beyond me. You a whinney little jerk who for some reason is obsessed on banned posters posting again. in that thread you said this > [@](#): > > would like Primaflora to see what I and Esprix see, that the banned can and indeed do post.

Do you realize what you’ve done here? Lemmie illustrate with a story. Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jack. Jack wound up selling a cow for a handful of beans. When his mom threw these beans out the window, a giant beanstalk grew into the clouds. Jack, being an inquisitive little boy, went out and climbed it to the top. There he found a castle full of riches and a sleeping giant. He had 2 choices: #1 He could sneek the gold out without the giant knowing and live happily ever after. #2 He could kick the giant in the balls. Most inteligent posters will realize that #1 is the way to go. You, sir, have chosen #2. Lemmie tell you a bit about chosing #2. You should only chose #2 if you are sure you can stand the heat and hold your own. I could. Scylla could. So could Fenris, SPOOFE, Coldfire and a host of others. Neuro Trash Grrrl could do it with one brain tied behind her back. You ain’t even close to being in that class, kid. My advice to you is to gracefully disengage yourself from this thread, and then RUN, as fast as you can, back to the Martha Stewart message boards. Don’t fuck with giants if you want to see another day. ---
