Since Nick is certainly a moderator here, and has had PLENTY of flames I would say you are … hmmm … dead wrong. So once again you fail to get your facts straight. And then you wonder why nobody takes you seriously? And if you are going to attack at least do it right (please read my advice on attack in Mormonism). I mean your attacks aren’t supposed to make people laugh! ---

Provide me a link to those then? Seeing as how I havent said anything of any pointor any offense on Nickrz board. (Slapping Glitch and David in the face with the back of my hand) Go away KIDS you are bugging debates and talk that were going on. Or at least stay in one thread and make it easier for me to ignore you. -N ---

I particularly love the way NA pretends to have been such a helpful participant in debates around here (this was at least the second time he’s referred to something along those lines) and others just get in the way (especially, apparently, me). Frankly, the only discussion I remember him contributing to was the Boy Scout one, and now I’m going to have to rethink that since I believed he had actually done the research he claimed – now I strongly suspect that was a bad call on my part. So far, he’s done a great job of ignoring me, as he promised, wouldn’t you all say? ---

[http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000345.html](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000345.html) There you go link to a thread flaming Nickrz. I know there are more, but one will suffice as proof by counter-example. What am I saying, like NA has any knowledge of proper logic and reasoning. Do you know what counter-example is? It means that if you make a claim (pick an axiom) and somebody shows something that is in contradiction to the claim then the claim is false. ---

I remember a kid on the local BBSes who used to make threats like NA does. He would act all big and strong on the BBSes, saying he was gonna beat us down, smack us, etc. In real life, he was a puny runt of an immature child. The funniest thing was when he once posted that he was bigger than me and would beat me up. Apparently he’d forgotten that several people on the BBSes knew him in real life… Why do I suspect something similar here? ---

CatInHat said: > [@](#): > > David, you’re famous! I had no idea you were so well-known that your name is on everyone’s lips (or perhaps I should say at everyone’s fingertips). Well, yes, I **am** famous! I mean, NA said so. Not that he would ever back up a claim, of course… What rich fantasy life this kid leads… ---

I have attempted ignore you David, but you are attempting to ruin every post on every debate I have ever been part of… rather inappropriate no? -N Plus my adolescent moderator friend, Im 25, hardly a child, though the pedophile in you wishes I were. ---

I’m sorry you consider facts to “ruin” your debates, but as I said before, if you didn’t post BS, the stench wouldn’t be mentioned. As for your claim that you’re 25 – well, if it’s like so many other claims you’ve made here, it’s utter BS. Even if it’s not, your actions speak louder than your claim. You may be 25 physically, but you’re as immature as the child I mentioned above. ---

NA: Yes, you were supportive, civil, and likeable in another thread. Thanks. It’s a shame that’s no longer the case. Yes, I changed my name from alsmith. So what? I have nothing to do with Captain Ed. Our one exchange consisted of me clarifying that I was not angry at DavidB for pointing out my ignorance. Here. I copied it: NewttonsApple: Thank you for the explanation ``` I liked Alsmith I didnt want to lose him. David and some others do have a way of "assassinating" some folks. Yes I spelled it that way for a reason Good to see you will be around though. Scylla Member posted 01-17-2000 07:16 PM Actually I rather enjoyed the asassination. In all fairness there was nothing mean about it all. I was horribly wrong in my assertions, and this was clearly proven to me. I learned something I'd been in error about for years, and it opened up new knowledge, and another area of interest that was unknown to me, so I am not ungrateful. One must not hold back when striking a blow against ignorance. After reading portions of other threads I can sympathize with their actions. I wish to mention this for the record, so that if in the future a certain party were to find his backyard suddenly inundated with a certain species of Marmota Monax.... (ummm. never mind) Heh Heh Heh. ``` * * * Often wrong… NEVER in doubt ---
