**Saint Zero** , > [@](#): > > _puts Pot on Dougie’s Head_ > _Stands off with High Caliber Rifle_ > _Shoots Pot off Dougie’s Head_ (Slight nit-pic, I think you meant “high powered rifle”, But never mind.) I think I already know the answer but just for the sake of clarification, is the pot right-side up, or upside down? Either way, you’ve ruined a perfectly good pot. ---

Fair request. May I quote some of your remarks in the [Religious Freedom or Negligent Homicide?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23036&pagenumber=1) thread > [@](#): > > it’s clear to me that many among the Teeming Millions would prefer that the Witnesses abandon their religion and be like everyone else. (This reminds me of my drunkard stepfather, who wanted my brothers and me to be drunkards too. If the shoe fits, wear it.) > [@](#): > > It’s also clear to me that those who oppose me on this matter have an ulterior motive And then, there’s your comment in the OP > [@](#): > > I am facing off against every other Doper who posts on this boards My personal opinon - fuck but you sound paranoid. ---

_originally posted by Neutron Star:_ > [@](#): > > In that thread you also chose to ignore pretty much everyone’s arguments and admitted that you hadn’t even read most of the posts from the opposing side, since you were paying by the minute for Internet access from Kinkos. Bizarre…and rude, too. Got a computer yet, dougie? No, I still don’t own a computer, but, then again, I have never exclusively used the ones at Kinko’s. I have also used one at a local public library ($2 per hour) and at my college library. All I have to do to be allowed to use a computer there, is pay $10 per year to the Alumni Association, which approves my library-card renewal each semester. And, as a client of the California State Department of Rehabilitation, I may also use the computers at a state agency called “One Stop,” but I don’t like to use them to post on the SDMB. Your point is well taken, however: I would do well to research my points thoroughly. (A high-school English teacher wrote this one one of my compositions before handing it back to me: _"Document_ what you say, or it becomes invective only, and loses effect." I have never forgotten that, but, I admit, I have often failed to implement it. :o) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/go-ahead-take-pot-shots-at-me/50598.md?page=1)
