I have just read through this whole fiasco from beginning (cafe society) to end (Pit threads I and II). [Hindenburg voice] Oh, the humanity! [/Hindenburg voice] I just wanted to share my love for the Daily Show. Why? Why? WHY! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jodi \* > \*\*There’s only be two examples lately – KING NIFTY, are you listening? – but I’m finding two to be too many: I am getting tired of people who misbehave and who then complain when people take them to task for their misbehavior. “Boo hoo, you established posters are so mean to lil’ ol’ newbie me.” Horseshit. You’ve acted like an ass and you can either apologize and move on, or shut up and move on. But as long as you continue to loudly shove your head up your ass, you can expect people to point out that your head is, in fact, up your ass. \*\* So you’re NOT being a jerk? I’ve already said I was mistaken about the forum rules. No way am I going to apologize when you keep insulting me about it over and over and over again. Why do you keep calling me out? I have ALREADY SHUTUP AND MOVED ON, YOU HAVE NOT. Why don’t you practice what you preach, and leave me alone? You don’t see me insulting you when I reply in other threads in GQ and GD - who’s being the jerk now? What possible reason could you have for calling me out when I already said I would leave this forum, if not to act like a jerk yourself? What do you suppose the odds are that since you’re clearly acting like an ass, you’ll apologize and move on? Hypocrite. ---

To paraphrase you, “Don’t insult me, you jerk!” 🙂 Pure comedy! > [@](#): > > What possible reason could you have for calling me out when I already said I would leave this forum, if not to act like a jerk yourself? What do you suppose the odds are that since you’re clearly acting like an ass, you’ll apologize and move on? Hypocrite. A hypocrite is one who says one thing and does the opposite. You said you would leave the forum. You have done the opposite. By the way, Jodi has nothing to apologize for. Unlike you, she’s made posts that had actual substance. All you do is rant and rave and therefore are useless (so far) to this message board. ---

Because you are equally unwilling to leave it alone. > [@](#): > > You don’t see me insulting you when I reply in other threads in GQ and GD - who’s being the jerk now? To answer the first part of that sentence: Liar. To answer the second: It’s you. Pretty much, always you. > [@](#): > > What possible reason could you have for calling me out when I already said I would leave this forum, if not to act like a jerk yourself? Liar. > [@](#): > > What do you suppose the odds are that since you’re clearly acting like an ass, you’ll apologize and move on? **Jodi** ’s got nothing to apologize for. > [@](#): > > Hypocrite. Liar. Wow. The ratio of dishonest statements to number of sentences in that paragraph approaches 1:1. That may very well be the most dishonest post I’ve ever seen on these boards. ---

I’ll move on… But NO WAY AM I APOLOGISING! You wanted a fight and you got it, when I tried to stop it, You continued (and I did for a while). The problem with most of you is that you want the last word. I tried to apologise at the begining, but you ignored it. ---

Oh, boo hoo. You were a rude, presumptuous jerk, and when called on it, you were a rude, presumptuous jerk. There wasn’t anything even approaching to an apology in any of these threads. And “I’m moving on but I’m never apologizing!” has to be the most infantile thing I’ve ever seen, considering you’re the one that was the jerk. Get over your cheap sorry self, Martha. Esprix ---

Miller: \<1\> Show me where I insulted Jodi in my many helpful threads in GQ and GD. \<2\> Show me how I’m not leaving it alone when it was Jodi that lured me back here by addressing me directly and insulting me some more, after I already said I would leave this forum. She was being a jerk by goading me into responding again, so you can all do your little routine. Again, SHE called me out, after I had already left this forum. I was only trying to help Montezuma, and I’m obviously too late. Now, to reiterate this AGAIN, if you leave me alone I will stop posting in this forum. But I will defend myself. Your choice. Unsolicitedly accusing me of lying (Miller) and making threats (LNO) when I am NOT is libelous at worst, being a jerk and ban-worthy at least. ---
