[QUOTE=Winston Smith] Yeah? Well, you’re an empty suit, Captain Google. And your mother dresses you funny. Now why don’t you slink back to GD and try to pass yourself off as knowledgable to the naive few who haven’t figured out you’re a fucking fraud. [/QUOTE] FWIW you’re veering dangerously close to deserving a bit of fisticuffs yourself my man. Let this one go, maybe go have a sandwich or something. ---

[QUOTE=Biggirl] Did your wife stop sucking your dick and you’re mad at the world? Looking for a fight but know you can’t _really_ kick anybody’s ass so your being an internet tuff guy? Just recently had you ass kicked and now want somebody else to get the same? Or are you just an asshole? Perhaps you like to ride your bike and yell insults at people walking down the street? You seem the type. [/QUOTE] For shame. What nasty things you say with practically no no provocation. I just think a man needs to stand up for himself, and this was one of those times. The rest is just hyperbole and leftist pacifistic fuckery. ---

You guys are all idiots. The choice isn’t between doing nothing and running after the guy - there’s a middle ground of just yelling back a satisfying “get lost, asshole,” or just laughing at him or doing somehting other than seething quietly and spending the rest of your life wishing you’d done _something_ about that guy, even if it wasn’t physical. ---

[/QUOTE] Oh, i absolutely agree with this. If i thought of a snappy putdown, i definitely wouldn’t be shy about using it. I was simply responding to the juvenile notion that you should kick some guy’s ass for something as lame as this. ---

I agree with **Winston**. You don’t have to kick his ass at the least provocation, but you don’t have to be a complete weenie, either. Don’t ever lower your head in submission, trudge in fright through your little life, then type impotently on a board. It just makes the assholes bolder. And it does absolutely no good for your sense of self. Meek shall inherit the earth, my ass. ---

[QUOTE=Winston Smith] So, I’m a monster for saying Bos should have kicked the guys ass, but you’re now saying I deserve to get my ass kicked for hurling a few apt insults in a pit thread? [/QUOTE] No, you’re a dummy who says that he should have put down his pizza and tried to catch a guy on a bike. I imagine the guy letting him get just close enough that he follws him back, around the car, and then comes screaming down the sidewalk and runs over the pizza, cackling madly and then disappearing. And by the way, even if you could catch him before that, it would in fact be assualt and battery. It would get you arrested and probably convicted. > [@](#): > > The rest is just hyperbole and leftist pacifistic fuckery. This is just hilarious. ---

[QUOTE=Winston Smith] So, I’m a monster for saying Bos should have kicked the guys ass, but you’re now saying I deserve to get my ass kicked for hurling a few apt insults in a pit thread? What? [/QUOTE] Initially I backed up your position before you went a little farther than you did originally. I’m all for standing up for oneself, but yeah, those comments at QED were a bit out of nowhere and really out of line. [QUOTE=Winston Smith] And a follow-up question: Are you threatening me? [/QUOTE] Not at all, I’m pointing out that you’re doing the same thing to posters that you advocated Bosda standing up for. If there’s a line then there’s a line and you’re way out of it. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] No, moron. Read his other posts in this thread. [/QUOTE] I did. I took a couple of his comments out of context and railed against them to make some bizarre and barely cogent point while simultaneously trying to make him look like a hypocrite, with the aim of discrediting him and by extension nullifying his other, less damning comments.

[QUOTE=Winston Smith] Actually, no. Sorry to disappoint you. Like I said a couple posts ago, I’m not really a violent man and I don’t generally advocate violence. A man’s gotta stand up for himself sometimes, though, and I think this was one of those times. [/QUOTE] And if it were a woman who was alone and being harassed in this manner by someone? Would you say the same? :dubious: If it isn’t the right thing for a female to do, why is it the right thing for a male to do? :dubious: :dubious: I think you need to re-think what you believe the proper gender roles are. ---

If that’s your idea of standing up for yourself, by which I mean striking back as much as you can muster than I don’t agree with you to that point. There’s standing up for yourself by punching a dipshit on a bicycle and then there’s shooting someone with a shotgun and eating their arms. I don’t think we agree on proper response magnatude. ---
