[QUOTE=What Exit?] **Aeschines** posted a provocative Op and thanks to \*\*Frank’s \*\* early intervention did not get the roasting he would have received if he had posted the thread in the pit or if \*\*Frank \*\* at moved it here. [/quote] OK, where’s the roasting? > [@](#): > > I suppose \*\*Frank \*\* could have shoved it off to the pit and let it devolve into an attack on **Aeschines**. As \*\*Frank \*\* denied **Aeschines** that pleasure, it looks like **Aeschines** decided to do it himself. I saw a pretty good debate about monogamy and other issues developing in that thread, not an attack. ---

[QUOTE=Oakminster] Frank spotted it for for it was immediately. He opted to give the thread a chance, but warned everyone that it would be on a short leash. [/quote] I interpreted it as warning against writing posts that made fun of fat people, or something like that. “Be nice,” in effect. > [@](#): > > You fucked up, thread was closed.

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] Again, sneering, condescending at someone who dares believe otherwise. [/quote] I think that’s just standard SDMB debating style. Look at how the skeptics treat those who believe in the paranormal. Anything I do is ultramild in comparison. Look at how mods shut down those who are _wrong._ This is not a board about big {{{hugs}}} and skitishness in regard to invalidation. Hey, I’ve learned from the best, as it were. That said, I attack ideas, not people. In GD, I’ve been told however many times, “You believe X, that makes you a moron.” Try to find a post of mine, aside from simple invective (“Fuck you,” or “You’re a fucking idiot”) in which I _really_ seem to be invalidating someone, condemning him or her entirely as a person. I will concede you might find one or two in the Pit (I think I tore into you once) but not elsewhere. Basically, I’m just an altruistic guy. > [@](#): > > Perhaps if his history of being a jackass and a borderline troll wasn’t against him, I would give **Aeschines** the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately for him, that’s not the case. Frankly, **Guin** your postcount is an obscenity. ---

[QUOTE=Hakuna Matata] yea it took me awhile to figure out who this clown was then I remembered—he was the old paranormal guy (originally I was thinking Lekatt) but then I did a search on old Aeschines. What a tool this guy ain’t banging anything but his own pud [/QUOTE] Right, because when you’re a “tool” you don’t get to have sex, but if you suggest that fat people are less deserving of getting laid, that’s just terribly unPC, ain’t it? You’re the tool, bro. I’m flattered, however, that one of your many 217 posts was spent on little ol’ me. That postcount is obscene too in its own special way. ---

All your post count continues to show is what a tool you are. And I never said anything about PC–no one ever has accused me of being too PC before. You have been around this site long enough to know that you had to be careful with your question. You could have asked it in a way to get valid responses–as a question it is interesting. Your OP and your subsequent posts show that you were just after rattling some cages. That is why it got closed and you damn well know it is. Guess you learned a few lessons from your old buddy Dmark2000 huh? and damn now I have wasted 2/218th of my posting on you 😛 ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Dude, you are _so_ Agent Smith to my Neo. [/QUOTE] I’m not normally one to correct spelling, but you misspelled “you’re the moderator to my batshit crazy, waste of electrons, brainstem level trolling, fart-in-the-wind posting habits.” Hope that helps. P.S. Neo was cool, hip. stylish, and sexy. You’re kinda like a bum ranting on the corner covered in his own vomit and week old Thunderbird. You add nothing to this board and you’re not even an interesting troll. When your ban finally comes down the pipeline, the only thing we will have lost is a drain on bandwidth.

[QUOTE=Hakuna Matata] What does post count have fuck all to do with anything? [/quote] In the case of **Guin** , her post count is so obscenely huge that it’s clear she lives her life here and needs to, well, get a life. Your post count is so small that in 4+ years you have barely participated here yet for some reason feel drawn to say your peace in this thread. Seems curious, that’s all. > [@](#): > > All your post count continues to show is what a tool you are. I think it represents a fairly active, but not overactive, participation rate. Average, par for the course. > [@](#): > > And I never said anything about PC–no one ever has accused me of being too PC before. How could anyone accuse you of anything? You have no posting record of note here. > [@](#): > > You have been around this site long enough to know that you had to be careful with your question. You could have asked it in a way to get valid responses–as a question it is interesting. And I did get the “valid” responses I was after. I pretty much feel that my question was answered to my satisfaction. I had liked to hear from more men, but oh well. > [@](#): > > Your OP and your subsequent posts show that you were just after rattling some cages. That is why it got closed and you damn well know it is. Apparently fatness is a controversial topic on the board. Some people are pretty frickin’ sensitive. Whatever, I had a question I wanted to ask and I asked it my way. If that’s trolling to some, I’d say they were pussies who want their size and weight validated no matter what. I’m not out to attack fat people but I’m not going to kiss their butts either and tell them that their weight is A-OK, no problem, hakuna matata, as it were. Too bad for that. > [@](#): > > Guess you learned a few lessons from your old buddy Dmark2000 huh? I think I can express the issue you’re driving at. There is a certain type of poster who just won’t back down in an argument and kiss ass, even if it’s 50 to 1 against him. I’m of that tribe. The SDMB, for whatever reason, has a problem with us. > [@](#): > > and damn now I have wasted 2/218th of my posting on you 😛 We’ll get your postcount up yet. ---

Oh, I _am_ curious why you are compelled, driven! to comment as you do. FYI, I’ve never been threated by moddom with suspension, much less banning, and I never will be banned. The reason is simple: I enjoy posting on the board and am willing to adjust my posting style so that I won’t be banned. See ya later, cunt. ---

**Aeschines** , do you not know how quote tags work, or are you just messing with us? This whole ‘respond to each poster with a separate post’ is really damn annoying. It’s not that hard: [q uote=Poster1]I think A.[/quo te] whatever you want to say. [qu ote=poster 2]Cite?[/quot e] Google is your friend. Remove the spaces and you can do the whole thing in one post.
