[QUOTE=Aeschines] Why are you even here, **duffer**? You and I are not enemies, nor are you like the others. You are their despised wretch, their laughing stock! You have no purpose in this mob. [/QUOTE] With friends like you… ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Calumny. Lies! I’m not arrogant. I merely stand independently for truth and against the base groupthink of these boards. Indeed, to the false elite here, independence equals = arrogance. Like **duffer** , **Miller** , you have the power to think for yourself. Yet you choose not to _act_ for yourself. What a waste. [/QUOTE] Well, aren’t you just special then? Crusading for truth, justice and… rambling psychosis, I suppose. Why don’t you just go kick back on your crustacean chaise longue and quit vomiting your florid prose all over the place? **Aeschines** “equals =” potentially deranged thesaurus owner. ---

I’ll defend Aeschines’ right to be individually ignorant. Who’s with me? By the way, I hope he stays a member. Him giving the board money is a better result than him sharing his rantings with strangers on the sidewalk for free. ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] It’s just someone challenging a number of your preconceptions and presenting information that makes you a little uncomfortable. Deal with it. Grow. [/QUOTE] I asked you this earlier, but you didn’t answer. What preconceptions are there that you believe us to have? And why would your complaining about used cars for sale make us “uncomfortable” in your opinion? ---

[QUOTE=Aeschines] Actually, I don’t translate instruction manuals. I translate Japanese into ad copy, press releases, and other promotional materials used around the world. [/QUOTE] So basically you are fluent in Japanese and Bullshit. I’m beginning to get a glimmer of understanding. You could not care less if what you say makes sense, or is even true. You just want it to sound pretty. ---

[QUOTE=duffer] That’s the first thing you’ve said in the thread that makes sense. ☹ [/QUOTE] Aw **duffer** , don’t know if it counts for much (me being on the other side of the political fence and all) but I like you. Especially ever since you got riled up enough over the Phelps to consider driving to California for a little one-on-one protest. I would’ve called shotgun and chipped in on gas. Besides, I read the comment directed to you as _wench_. I’m sure you’d look positively adorable in a barmaid outfit. 😉 ---

Phooey. I’m sorry I ever entered this thread. The OP is neither an inspired fool, nor a sincere Quixote, nor a wise puppeteer. This thread has neither truth, nor educated sophistry, nor even an honest point of view with which to contend. The OP can’t even maintain a purportedly dysfunctional personality with consistency. This thread has nothing so compelling as insanity, nor so entertaining as humor, nor even as interesting as an original (however misguided and weak) argument. In fact, it is nothing more than bad and lazy performance art, dependent upon the efforts of other, better posters to propel the originator to unearned stardom. It was wrong of me to try to attract attention here for myself at the price of puffing up **Aeschines** ’ ego, and I hope others are wiser and more modest than I.
