> [@askeptic](#): > > You know, I suspect our friend vinnie is more pissed off by folks expressing anti conservative ideas than “drive bye” posts. He just hasn’t got the balls to pit libruls in general. I say either add some conservative drive by posts that bother you, or admit your a conservative tool. ( note to my esteemed conservative colleagues, I do distinguish between honest respectable conservatives, and conservative tools) 1. It’s patronizing to refer to me as your friend and then spend a whole post talking about how horrible of a person I am. 2. The fact is, I just posted all the ones I saw on a skimming of the first page. If you’d like, I can send you some pictures of myself at anti-war rallies or wearing my “Impeach Bush” t-shirt. 3. Misspelling “liberals” in an attempt to make people who dislike them sound stupid really serves only to make you sound stupid and judgemental. 4. Calling me a “conservative tool” was completely out of line and undeserved. Maybe think before you post next time. ---

Step away from the computer. Open the door and walk outside. That bright thing is the sun. Wow. You’re the first person to ever make a joke about how an Internet poster has no life and needs to get out more. If, however, you’ve actually puckered up enough juice off of my OP to make a meaningless post like this, perhaps you have some strange need to mock other posters for what you perceive as their lack of social graces. While I won’t bother actually attemping to prove that I indeed have a social life, I would like to point out that your post was shallow and meaningless. ---

WOOHOO!!! I annoyed the shit out of someone. Just as an FYI, **vinnie** , I did go back to that thread. Mainly to ask **Mr.Moto** to clarify his position about punishment of the students, but I didn’t bail on it. I felt the subject was being adequately argued without my input. ---

I tried drive by posting, but the laptops hardly ever hit anyone, and it was too expensive to replace them all the time. And I think the problem is the homosexual Christians secret agenda myself. Two driveby’s for the price of one (make that three.) ---

Hi Vinnie, Perhaps _you_ should have followed your own posting rule: _4. Calling me a “conservative tool” was completely out of line and undeserved. Maybe think before you post next time._ ---

Well, #4, yes, but more to the point, #2: > [@vinniepaz](#): > > 1. The fact is, I just posted all the ones I saw on a skimming of the first page. How the hell do you know they’re just drive bys that people don’t come back to defend if you don’t even bother to read the entire damn thread? More often than not, after a few jokes the thread turns into a serious discussion about the OP, usually a discussion by most of the people who were making the jokes in the first place. ---

I have no particular problem with drive-bys, if they’re witty. Even if they are not, they’re usually short enough that they don’t interrupt the flow of the thread. And even if they do from time to time, so what? I must therefore conclude that the OP is a big girl’s blouse. ---

Vinnie, Why did you cite only posts by charter members? Just asking… I think this is a really weak pit and no, I have no cite for my own opinion, and I may never look at this thread again. Is this a drive by? Am I pitted? ---
