I still think the best part is how Jac assumes that if you think he’s a moron or he posts like a meth-addled rage monkey, you must automatically be an offshoring fanatic–OBVIOUSLY the only reason to think he’s a chump is political opposition. ---

We’re part of The Opposition, so of course we’re against everything he stands for and vice versa. If people had different opinions on different issues, how would people like **Jac** even begin to understand it? A world which is divided between “People who agree with me/geniuses” and “People who don’t agree with me/jackasses” is a lot easier to direct your bile towards. ---

[QUOTE=Jack Batty] Noooooo. Really? Trolling? Not Jac. [/QUOTE] I have to say I’m shocked, SHOCKED! that so well loved and respected a poster as Le Jac has been BANNED from our board. What a totally unexpected and tragic turn of events! :eek: Oh well…he’s probably smug in his self righteous superiority, safe in his conviction that he was banned by a nest of pro-free traders and anti-American workers. He can feel good about his banning from that perspective, and he knows, deep down, that when the revolution comes it will be all of us going up against the wall… (Well, not me…he had me on ignore from about the second day after he joined so has most likely forgotten all about me. You guys, however, are in deep do-do) -XT ---

A “Great Debates” is a place where ideas are exchanged, weighed, and sorted into bins of validity. **LeJac** pretty much forced his ideas, broke the scales, and threw away the bins…he would have been awesome if we had a “Great Dictates” forum. As for the Pit threads that he started…it was like being locked in a 6’x6’ room with a TV that had 2 channels that had reruns of Ricky Lake (Teh Evil Wimmens) and Phil Donahue (Outsourced!) shows. Live and learn, Jac…live and learn. It’s not the message per se, but the messenger. Seriously, go get professional help. Yeti Employer of 417 people over 19 years…all of them American. ---

Banned. About time. I tihnk I predicted some where that hed be banned by July4. Missed it by just a few days. ---

Sadly, Le Jac had you on ignore, John, or perhaps he would have heeded your prediction and saved himself from being banned. (Is anyone else still getting Guest for Le Jac’s status? Shouldn’t it say BANNED or at least Suspended??) -XT ---

They probably outsourced the task of changing status to the Chinese in **Le Jac** ’s honor. Regards, Shodan ---

Huh…I would have thought that the BANNED title would be automatic if they shut his account down, but maybe they have to make a change to his title manually when they ban someone? -XT ---

His new title should be “OUTSOURCED”. ---

Considering the fact that he has openly said he participates more in other message boards (which he finds more intelligent and fulfilling, since they actually agree with him) I’d say Offshored would be a better title. 😉 -XT ---
