I think he’s referring to the fact that **jamie** has called people “cowardly pussies” (that’s either a direct quote or a slight paraphrase) for not using their real names as their screen names. He thinks it enables us to hide behind them so we can say whatever we want to.

Weird. That’s exactly what my wife, Morgan Fairchild, said.

You ARE a bunch of cowardly pussies. I’m a famous movie star, kids love me, and I’m not afraid to use my own name. What’s YOUR problem? What are YOU afraid of?

I don’t recall ever posting such things in ANY forum on the board. If I’m wrong, I’d like to be shown the post(s). I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. I’m just saying, I’m tired of being accused of saying or posting something but never being shown evidence of such offenses. It’s almost a trend.

I tried to Google search “jamiemcgarry pussy” and all I got were questions about investing in vagina futures.

Personally, I think people who use their real names but not proper spacing or capitalization are pussies.

On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog, but everybody knows you’re an asshole!

But then after we friend him on Facebook, he’ll ask us to join the SD to help back him up, and then we’ll friend him on Facebook, and then he’ll ask us to join the SD, and… now my brain hurts.

This thread is the King of Irony, I hereby declare.

Let’s see, where to start? There is the whole Jamie suing thing, being all butthurt because nobody was caring enough about his form letter response, to stupid lawsuit. He’s too narrow minded to even read what it effectively says, it takes dozens of posts, and people spelling it out for him, before he gets that it doesn’t say what he thought it did. Blinded by his own ‘rightness’.

Then there’s his justification, legalities, blah, blah. When it’s pointed out to him he’s actually reading the law wrong, and the gym is in no way obligated, he back pedals to basically saying, well, their mission statement says they want to provide for everyone. (Next week he’ll sue Red Bull because he can’t fly.)

He’s upset that they won’t let him do his style of exercise, on equipment not intended for use as he is using it. That they are just protecting themselves from litigious assholes, never sets off his irony sensor, because, of course, he is the litigious asshole. And the exact type of person they need to protect themselves from.

He self identifies as an ‘aggressive asshole’, (and we all know that really means he’s actually much worse.) Yet here he is, again, butthurt because people are being too ‘aggressively’ opposed to his world view. And being kind of ‘assholish’ towards him. Still his irony sensor never goes off.

Spends his waking hours push, push, pushing at the world, and cries like a baby when he gets a little push back. The irony, it drips.

Topped off, of course, with a healthy dose of, “You are all too aggressive and a bunch of assholes and I’m done here!”, only to return. Rinse and repeat. And again.

It seems irony, on top of irony, iced with irony.  
It is to giggle.  
What’s not to love?

Red Bull never claimed it could make you fly, it said it would give you wiings…whatever those are.

::Googles “Define Wiings”:: Oddly, urban dictionary comes back with Those that are given to you for drinking the beverage known as Red Bull. Huh, that’s kinda circular.

And Red Bull doesn’t give you red wings. You can also learn about that on urban dictionary.
