Oh, so it **wasn’t** Zsa Zsa’s fault that she slapped the cop, he **goaded** her into it. Cool, we can revolutionize the system! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Montezuma \* > I tried to apologise at the begining, but you ignored it. \*\* I’ve tried to read all the threads in question, but I freely admit this is getting too difficult to keep up with. **Montezuma** , can you paste the apology you’re talking about? I didn’t see it. An honest apology would go a long way toward ending this, I think. Just trying to mediate a bit. ---

Fair enough PANACHE…I will attempt to show my disgust for people who have called me a liar with less harsh verbiage. seriously. I guess I am just displaying the same juvenile behavior as them…and for that I will apologize. I will attempt to restrain myself in the future. ---

KING NIFTY – > [@](#): > > So you’re NOT being a jerk? I’ve already said I was mistaken about the forum rules. Where? > [@](#): > > 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? Because you keep _whining_. Every time you post in this forum, I think “Somebody call the _waaaaah_-bulance.” And I haven’t insulted you, “Potsy;” when I do, you’ll know it. > [@](#): > > You don’t see me insulting you when I reply in other threads in GQ and GD - who’s being the jerk now? Well, you. First, we’re not in (or talking about) GQ or GD, are we? I’ve no idea what you’re posting in those forums, but I know what you’re posting here in the Pit, and that was this: > [@](#): > > Montezuma, ignore them. They’re just trying to piss you off, because they think it’s funny. Apparently they have nothing better to do than jerk themselves off by poking fun at people. Don’t play their bullshit game. Now watch them start attacking me for posting this - they can’t fucking help themselves. That’s your idea of moving on? You’re just exactly like Montezuma; you post like an asshole; people call you on it; and then you bleat about how you’re mistreated by the big bad regulars becaue you’re new – which is just so much crap. You haven’t left the subject alone; if you had you wouldn’t have posted the above over [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=142590), continuing to be the rude little jerk you apparently are. So don’t act like I’m persecuting you, because your tantrums are transparent and disingenuous. > [@](#): > > 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? To point out that you’re still _here_ and still being a _jerk_ and still _whining_. “I already said I would leave this forum” – well, how can we miss you if you don’t go away? Your idea of leaving is to post the above? Bullshit. Just so we’re clear: IMO, you deserved the spanking you got because you were being a jerk – just like MONTEZUMA deserves his, for the same reasons. And you’re still doing it. So if you post again to imply how gosh-darn _unfair_ we’ve been to you, chances are very good I’ll post again to say you’re full of shit. Get it? ---

NIFTY – > [@](#): > > \<1\> Show me where I insulted Jodi in my many helpful threads in GQ and GD. What, you think GQ and GD are the universe of this Board? So where the hell are we now? Am I supposed to just ignore what you post over here? Why? > [@](#): > > \<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. Proof you’re not leaving it alone: 1. You post the already-cited gem, referring to other posters here as having “nothing better to do than jerk themselves off by poking fun at people.” 2. You have not, in fact, left this forum. Your offensive post in MONTEZUMA’s thread pre-dates my “calling you out,” and was, just so we’re clear, the very reason I addressed you again. That’s not leaving it alone, dear. > [@](#): > > 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. Yeah, that post about what jerk-offs we are all just dripped with helpfulness. :rolleyes: You’re doing it again, you know: Acting like a jerk and then boo-hooing about how mean people are to you – as if you don’t ask for it by being a jerk in the first place. > [@](#): > > 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. When you’re done throwing your hissy fit, you might want to look up “libel” in a legal dictionary. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jodi \* > What, you think GQ and GD are the universe of this Board? So where the hell are we now? Am I supposed to just ignore what you post over here? Why? > \*\* Sorry counselor. Excising my post to help your case, but if you re-read you’ll see that was in response to Miller saying this: “To answer the first part of that sentence: Liar.” In other words, he is accusing me of insulting you in other threads in GQ and GD. I have not. LNO has accused me of making threats. I have not. All I’ve done was call bullshit on some really sketchy posts, not realizing that you can’t do that in this forum. Why you all would unquestioningly believe everything is beyond me, since you demand proof everywhere else around here. But whatever. I try and defend myself, and people show up with nothing to add but hilarious insults. I actually tried to search for a Fenris post that had actual factual merit, and wasn’t solely him trying desperately to be funny and / or attacking other people and got sick of looking after a couple hundred or so. Is that entertaining for you people? Wow. I can see now that this will go on forever, so goodbye. See you in GQ and GD, with cites. I promise I won’t try and help other new posters for getting attacked. Sorry Montezuma, good luck! ---

Dear **King Nifty** , Had you said “I’m going to slash your tires and kill your dog”, then you would have made a threat about slashing my tires and killing my dog. Had you said “I’m going to leave this forum”, then you would have made a threat about leaving this forum. Threat, promise, whatever you want to call it – you said you’d never be back to the Pit, yet here you are now, whining about the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, you’re being repressed. I notice you’re threatening to leave the Pit again: > [@](#): > > I can see now that this will go on forever, so goodbye. See you in GQ and GD, with cites. I dare you. ---

But Nifster, why is it that you have to ‘call busllshit’ at all? Why this desperate need to expose everybody else’s posts? Why can’t you ignore the liars, if that’s what you think they are? Hell, everytime I saw your name before, and keep in mind that I don’t normally go to GD, you were ‘calling bullshit’ on something. Its childish, frankly. No one is saying you can’t doubt a story, but nobody wants you shitting in their threads either. Its not your job to do so. Its not your responsibility to show us naive sheep the way. And dude, ‘whatever’ is the last recourse of the stupid. You’ve truly been defeated when that’s the best you can come up with. ---

KING NIFTY – > [@](#): > > I have not. All I’ve done was call bullshit on some really sketchy posts, not realizing that you can’t do that in this forum. Why you all would unquestioningly believe everything is beyond me, since you demand proof everywhere else around here. But whatever. Okay. Here’s the explanation: When something that is posted is clearly _anecdotal_, what “proof” could someone possibly provide? If I tell you I had Frosted Flakes for breakfast, what could I possibly do to “prove” that? Beyond the issue of whether proof is (practically speaking) _possible_, why should we have to prove every little personal thing we say? Beyond _that_, proof cuts both ways: If your position (“calling bullshit”) essentially amounts to calling someone a liar – something many people around here, me included, take very seriously – then _you_ have the burden of proving that the statement made is not truthful. If you can’t prove, or even successfully argue, that someone is lying, then you should not call them a liar. Because it’s beyond rude. What is so hard about this? Really, I can’t imagine why something so obvious would be beyond you. ---
