the person jim refers to the guy in the jose cuervo thread, i don’t remember his name but his signature is: jim (me)…kind of a give away…confused with one aspect, is hajario = jim, a person related/friends with jim or just jim’s personal defendent?..why step into an existing argument?

Beats me. Maybe it has something to do with it _being posted in a public forum by an idiot too fucking dumb to follow the rules or act with any sort of grace to those who would answer his question_?

Nah. Couldn’t be.

[sub]Pssst. Have you, by any chance, heard of this marverlous button labeled “Shift” with a little arrow by it? Also, could you please unstick your period key; it seems to be malfunctioning.[/sub]

OK, 1) QED was wrong, 2) Haj, you can blow me- if you took the time to read the fucking post you would see that JIm was wrong in that he called jose cuervo garbage (without knowing what brand i was talking about) then had the audacity to praise a type of it- i was speaking about tequila…so to quote you’re “get a fucking clue, party boy” - get a fucking clue, immigrant

_Schoooool’s out for summer_ Oh lord, here they come.

OK, **ata66** , I “stepped in” for the same reason you did. I thought that I could add something to the discussion. In my case, I clarified the thread to which **rico** was referring. He was not only being an ass. He was being an unclear ass. So, I pointed everyone to the correct thread and then gave my opinion. That’s kinda sorta the point of message boards, you see.

You, on the other hand, are a different kind of ass all together. You’re a bit more clear than **rico** but you are clueless. I just have to ask, why would _you_ step into an existing argument between **rico** and me?

Well, excuse me, fuckwad. If you’d bothered to provide a link to which one of your venom-filled thread you were referring to, no one would _have_ to guess. Get the chip off your shoulder, or you won’t be around very long.

Hoo boy.

1. Whether or not Jose Cuervo is garbage is a matter of opinion. There is no right or wrong about it. He also posted his opinion, one that I share, that the quality of the tequila will affect how you feel the next day after drinking. We could certainly be wrong. You didn’t like his answer and you immaturely shit on him. He was sincerely trying to answer your question in good faith. You were out of line.

2. I called you an ass for your behavior in your response to Jim in that thread. A Mod censured you for the same thing.

3. It’s _your_, not _you’re_ in the last sentence. Even an immigrant knows that.

4. I’m a second/third generation American, born and raised in California, U.S. of A., not that that’s relevant.

haj, what’s the deal? a simple remark about you being related/friends with jim and was wondering why someone would step into a stupid argument. i’m not out looking to start an argument or to establish a feud, just to clarify who the jim guy was and then ask a question(which i didn’t think would really piss you off). what i don’t get is the fact that you would generalize all college students in general or link rico with myself , or for that matter, even call me clueless?

and myrr21, why do caps really matter? i can type faster when i don’t use them, it doesn’t bother me and i didn’t think i needed perfect grammer to be a part of the message boards. i’ve been a member for a couple years and this was a new name that i created to use this year because i lost my password and had changed e-mails. i’ve never had a complaint about stuff like this before, so why start?

damn, keturah caught on…rico776 is my brother. he found out about this through me and then proceeded to make some jokes and piss people off. although it was funny its not my way of doing things, so don’t start harassing me or looking to start a fight, because i’ve been a member for a while, and for all i know, he’s been tossed from the boards.

I didn’t generalize all college students in general. I was one myself not too long ago. I didn’t link you to **rico** either. As for why I called you clueless, I’ll just leave that as an exercise for the reader.

You should probably contact a board admin about this - they look **very** dimly on registering more than one name (even if you no longer have access to the other name) unless you work out something with them.

</div>

for the board admin: i had a name for two years and after changing e-mail accounts and forgetting my password, i made a new name. i’ve been using the new name since, have not been harassing people and have been using this board as the way it was intended. i haven’t mis-used it and i also haven’t tried to take advantage of having multiple names. i didn’t know it was a problem but next time will contact one of you before making a new name. thanks

**ata66** , you might want to _email_ one of the admins (probably **Tubadiva** or **Lynn Bodoni** or both), give them _both_ of your usernames, and let them know which one you want to keep and which one you want closed. And apologize profusely when you do it.
