JThunder is an asshole!

x-ray vision, your OP in GD was an awkwardly constructed exercise in hermeneutic hilarity and turned into a messy abortion due mainly to your disagreeable personality, but this thread is a full bore, no foolin’ around silly assed 'tard thread. Congrats!

The title of this thread is wrong, it should say;

x-ray vision is an asshole!
You were snippy in the other thread, and just because people weren’t playing like you wanted them to play.

Chill.

Eh … I wouldn’t quite say x-ray is an asshole so much as he got off on the wrong foot in that thread with a few participants who, I think, got off on the wrong foot as well.

This thread should ACTUALLY be titled:

JThunder was an accomplice in the train wreck which is my other thread

x-ray is a shit stain and I’m glad his ass is now in the Pit so I can say so.

That is all.

Aww quitcher bitchin’ x-ray vision. You were outta line and have been acting like an impatient little hothead ever since you were called in on it. This attack on JThunder was totally unwarrented.

And frankly, it seems from your posts that you’d struggle to score points against a Furby so perhaps a few debating tips are just what you need.

Food for thought…

You started a thread.

You were a complete prick to all of the first three people to post to it.

You ruined your own thread.

Look, I understand your frustration, but when you engage people in conversation, there’s just no way to guarantee that they’re going to advance the conversation in exactly the way that you want. It doesn’t work that way in real life and it doesn’t work that way on a message board.

If you really care what people think then you need to open yourself up to the possibility of new conversational directions rather than come down all hard and reprimanding on every person who is kind enough to participate. That’s just not the way to welcome guests into your discussion.

Yeah, somebody’s an asshole, and it ain’t JThunder, one of the most reasonable posters on our board…

Perhaps you’re right Kyomara, I was trying to much too orchestrate how the thread would run, but I don’t think I was a complete prick. :wink: I just wanted to start a thread debating Bible contradictions one by one, not naming a bunch and having believers just argue over the ones that might be lame to begin with. I guess it’s not going to go anywhere though. Oh well.

Ya hear that everybody? Perhaps I’m right, he says. I could stand to hear that a few more times in a day.

Thanks x-ray. You’ve sent me to bed feeling better than I did when I woke up.

<—pokes head in the door, reads thread and…
Places finger on pursed bottom lip and begins to hum, moving finger rapidly in an up and down motion.

runs away giggling madly…

Sayyyyyyyyyyy…That was a rather meandering sentence, but well formulated on the whole. Half a bravo: weren’t it for the switcheroo in the level of style in the last part, you would have earned a full one.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think that JThunder’s act of linking to a short and relevant discussion was inappropriate.

There is another poster whom I won’t name who has a tendency to point to entire threads or discussion boards in a conclusory, hand-waving fashion and proclaim his point proved. THAT is assholish.

And for what it’s worth, I’ve debated JThunder in the past and noticed that he does have a tendency to dodge difficult questions; refuse to concede obvious points; and generally engage in lame debating tactics. I don’t think this makes him an asshole though.

I got an email saying that I had been pitted.

I actually looked forward to seeing who I had pissed off.

I am sorely disappointed.

Don’t be disappointed Thunder, I didn’t pit you, I pitted JThunder. Oh wait, are you the same person with two SD accounts? Hmmm.

:mad:

No, I most certainly am not a sock puppet.

I attempted to bring some humor into this humorless situation.

Clearly, I failed at that attempt.

x-ray vision, making friends all over the internet.

:rolleyes:

From the other thread,

That personal rule isn’t going to fly in GD. Be prepared for posters to provide topical links. I don’t see tradition and practice bending in this case for you.

You are…so cool.

GD&R :smiley:

  • For non comic geeks, there’s a character named “Johnny Thunder” who can summon up what amounts to a genie by saying the magic words “Cei-U” (aka “Say you” geddit?). His successor can summon up the same genie but the magic words are now “So cool”.

Now you know. Don’t you feel better? :wink:

Say…anything.

I’ll be outside with a boombox if anyone needs me.
