You’re still too much of a moron to see that he was using a colloquialism and NOT a derisive term? Did you **really** think that he was being racist towards you or are you just trying to set yourself up to get piled on even more? ---

> [@Updike](#): > > I said I was sorry, I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do. Fuck off and d… fuck off and do not come back. Far as I am concerned your posts do not exist. I hope the rest of the board addopts the same attitude. Your posts get no response from me. Hopefully pretty soon you will become just a lonely voice screaming in the wilderness and you will just wander off. Its alot to hope for but I am optimistic. Hell maybe the Mods will come to their senses and realize that your post was so far beyond the scope of acceptable behavior that they will reconsider their decision not to immediately and summarily take away your posting ability for fucking ever. You are pond scum, you are the same as the frauds who tried to collect money for non existant dead family members. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > You’re getting off too easy, **Updike**. I’m not resentful that I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but I’ll do my best to avoid dealing with your stupid ass in the future. I feel like I shouldn’t be responding to this thread. But before I go, I do want to say that I consider you the lowest form of shit. On the one hand, I agree that **Updike** is an epically misanthropic fuckwad. On the other, that he wasn’t banned potentially seems to indicate phenomenal restraint and, well, moderation on the part of the mods rather than mercy. I admire them for simply warning him for lying instead of letting the the emotional power of 9/11 overcome their objectivity… See, I find it extremely difficult to believe that **Updike** came even remotely close to thinking about what he posted. Like **kambuckta** said, I’m inclined to think that he was so frustrated by the hole he’d dug himself that he only saw red and let his lizard-brain take over. And if they really did let you off the hook because they read desperation into your lies rather than scheming, you’d better get ready to tenderly kiss the mods’ asses, **Updike**. After accusing **tomndebb** of persecuting you, their intercession on your behalf highlights another one of your errors, don’t you think? In the meantime, while you’re answering to the community, I’m curious: how’s it taste, dipshit? ---

Seems as though lying under duress is pretty easy to understand now, isn’t it? You’re getting a small inkling of what the woman went through, and the criticism that she’s taking from people like you, only you’re doing so from the safety of your own home. Incidentally, this is, bar none, the biggest lie I have ever seen here. I’d say that your posting career here, banned or not, is pretty much at an end. All you have is your credibility here, and you threw it all away making a ridiculous argument. ---

> [@Khan](#): > > See, I find it extremely difficult to believe that **Updike** came even remotely close to thinking about what he posted. What do you mean? He said he was sorry, and has tried to divert this thread with disingenuous accusations of racsim. How is that not learning from his mistakes? If I ever saw a post worthy of a one-transgression banning, this is it. ---

> [@Updike](#): > > You try it. No really. Call an African-American youth “boy”. IF you want to get you’re assed kicked, that is. Have you ever identified yourself as African-American on this board before? I had no idea and I seriously doubt that **Fritz** did either. We can’t exactly _see_ you, you know. I thought it was pretty obvious that Fritz was making a comment on how he perceives your maturity level, not your skin color. And this may not be fair, but after the post that led to this thread, it’s kind of hard to knwo whether we should believe you if you’re claiming to be black. Maybe you’ve mentioned it before and I just didn’t see it but I don’t think you can assume that everybody knows it.
