I thought we were “pretty much finished”. And yet he _still_ can’t shut the fuck up? He’ll make a great homeless person yelling at passers-by in a few years when the OCD or carpal tunnel takes over.

Why did you bother to return to the thread then?

Don’t worry FGIE, he’s just a bit of an idiot and a lot of a troll. He still can’t decide if his line is that he doens’t bother to read my posts or if he reads them all and checks all their cites (but then lies about their contents), but in any case it’s clear that he doesn’t like reading them _but does it constantly_. ~shrugs~

I could also belabor the nature of his stupidity and point out that I said that the thread was pretty much done, content wise, and not that I promised not to take some swipes at random schmucks, like Elvis, who gurgled menacingly at me.

I thought this thread was called “Finn Again’s Wake”, NOT “Finn Again’s Wank”?

FGIE, let go of FA’s cock, right now! Either that, or get a fucking room.

I’m _fairly_ sure if you can enlist to be a jew, you can’t really be a race, but keep on trying. 😉

ps. Remember, I had nothing to do with the label you have given yourselves.

Wow, I’m glad you and your socks are getting along so well. But since FGIE is stupidly lying about my posts and cites which I copiously provided, let me explain it to him.

You see, **FoieGrasIsEvil** , I don’t really read **FinnAgain** ’s posts; that would be an exercise in futility. I just skim them for the requisite number of uses of words like “stupid”, “liar”, “troll”, and “racist”. Usually that takes about two lines of text. For example, see the quote above. As far as cite checking, haha. 90% of his cites are to wikipedia or _his own fucking posts_. The ones that aren’t are sites that claim to tell “the TRUTH about the middle east!!1!” Don’t need a lot of in-depth research there.

Also, to hear **FinnAgain** use, in apparent seriousness, the word “belabor” is probably the most hilarious thing I have seen on this board this year. His picture is in the dictionary next to the word “belabor”. The International Committee on Belaboring offered him lifetime chairmanship, but he was too busy belaboring the point to accept. His example has spawned the first _be_labor union in history, which protects the rights of scarily obsessed internet trolls like Finny to post frothing rants which have now grown longer than Genesis.

I don’t give a shit about **FinnAgainAndAgainAndAgain** ’s points on Israel and the Middle East. Hell, he might even be right. No one can tell because he is a completely shitty debater. I just know he’s my least favorite poster by far, because he  
cannot.  
let.  
things.  
go.

The reading public needs to understand that **FinnAgainAndAgain** is a raging blowhard with a boner for his own diatribe.

So, in this thread, it is my mission to win. I _will_ have the last word, because I know that doing so will probably cause **FinnAgainAndAgain** to stroke out. His (allegedly) snide little comments don’t actually hide the fact that he is stung to the core by my posts. He **cannot** ignore them, because the fragile palace of his self-esteem will come tumbling down and he will have to face the fact that he is destined to die friendless and alone (or in a suicide bombing attempt in Palestine).

So there is my answer. The short version, since your ADHD addled attention span probably caused your eyes to glaze over at the word “glad” is this:

**FinnAgain** sucks. I want him to realize that. I will do what it takes to make that happen. Therefore, this thread will not end until one of us dies.

To us casual readers, you seem to be doing exactly what you are accusing him of doing.

And coincidentally the song that just came up on my Ipod shuffle was the Mermen’s “Obsession For Men”.

Congratulations on your brilliant insight. We would be lost without the shining jewel that is your brilliance.

This thread is about **FinnAgain** ’s poor posting, even though he has managed an admirable hijack about the middle east (which he even tried to bring into ATMB).

Therefore, this thread is the perfect place to make fun of him, and piss him off at the same time, all while taking advantage of his obsessive tendencies. It’s better when you make them do it to themselves.

Note that, unlike our titular dipshit, I don’t do this in _every thread that I participate in_. This is kind of a “special occasion”. I am teaching him a lesson by showing him that he has no clothes, or some other mixed metaphor.

Also, it has the meta factor of seeing how much I can get him to post – I’m hoping to surpass the collected works of Tolstoy by June.

I disagree that he is a raging blowhard with a boner for his own diatribe. I am not able to speak for what anyone else believes. Would that I could.

Ironic moron is ironic. 😃  
Oh, and, simply for those following along, I’d like to point out that Ivn is deliberately lying about my cites in order to troll.  
I used a grand total of one Wikipedia link in this thread, to an article that was very well cited for its claims (and that happened to be factually accurate, Ivy seems to have missed that point in his stupidity). To my knowledge that is the only time I’ve ever cited wikipedia here, ever. I have never, in my entire life, used my post as my cite,which Ivn knows, of course. I _have_ linked to my own posts instead of re-copying and posting something that I’d already cited in another post. And, of course, Ivn also knows that he’s lying about sites like CAMERA or MEMRI or PMW or MidEastWeb while he tries to cast them as extremist, or what have you.

Silly little yapping chihuahua, thinks he’s a big scary dog.

Keep it coming, big guy. You’re a stylistically rigid dipshit whose self-esteem depends on people thinking you are right (or you’re just a crazy zealot). Your only recourse is calling people stupid lying racists, and citing from places like PMW and CAMERA (both of which, from a quick glance, do appear to be awfully propaganda-like) and wikipedia and your posts.
