“That is what will happen, I know it.”

Not to the degree of accusing me of being a murderer, no. Sorry if that was confusing to anybody. Sorry ☹

Happens all the time, **Kurdt**. When I decide that I’ve had enough I go away, no questions asked. Even when I’m getting creamed by people who disagree with me. Otherwise I’d probably say something ill-advised and run afoul of the rules, which is something I have no desire to do.

Oh, and I have been called a murderer here. Does it get any worse than that? No. So what’s happening to you is not a big deal. What are they calling you, a liar? Shit, I get that once a week, it seems. A flake? I’ve been called that, or something similar, since day 1 here.

Just choke it down and learn from it. Or argue some more, that’s your choice. Just don’t say that nobody tried to help you if you do.

A message board about a message board?

Proofreading is a good idea amongst this group. You will be picked apart for the slightest spelling or grammatical mistake.

You would do well to take **Airman’s** advice.

Heh, I was thinking the same as I posted the link. If the SDMB LJ becomes popular enough, will there be a SDMB LJ MB? Then a SDMB LJ MB LJ? And so on…

DUDE!!! **Airman Doors** is trying to help you out. In your “oh so poetic mind”, I would imagine that you’re capable of sitting back and reflecting on the moment. Guess not.

You **ARE** allowed to defend yourself, of course. Supposedly, isn’t the whole reason why you posted in the first place to “appease the masses”? Like I said before, if it was for Lynn, you would have emailed Lynn. But you put it in a public forum to SHOW that you’ve “changed your ways”. SO LET THE OLD WAYS GO.

Secondly, WHO GIVES A RAT’S ASS if ANY of us think you’re a liar? We aren’t friends, family, co-workers or neighbours. WHO CARES? And if you REALLY care so much, just scan your driver’s license or birth certificate and prove it once and for all. But HONESTLY, it’s NO BIGGY. SO WHAT if some STRANGER you’ll NEVER MEET thinks you’re full of shit? I think you’re full of shit. In five years from now, how does that change your life? Get over it.

You’d do well to listen to **Doors** , but I think he’s playing the role of Level-Headed Member Who Warns The Meltdowner and you won’t. You’d do well to get out of the Pit.

Actually, and honestly, I don’t think this is going to be the board for you. You’ve earned yourself quite a reputation with your, um, inane prattle. I’d suggest taking a break or finding another board that will appreciate your posting (and FTR, I don’t think you’re 27-29 either). Cause you’re walking the road to bannination.

Try having a look at some of Kurdt’s previous posts - it will make your brain hurt. At best, he/she is just a kid having “fun” on a message board, at worst DNFTT. Ignore.

I’d look forward to being wrong.

By the way, “Whatever” as a retort isn’t something us 20 somethings use much anymore…

Hee hee hee.

Kurdt is just a kid, I don’t think he means any harm. Unfortunately, his posting style happens to be very irritating.

That’s a good idea, mate, but some people will take any chance they get to piss on someone.

So his posts suck ass why the pile on? He’s said he was sorry so lighten up sheesh. If he really is trying to stop annoying people on here how are you helping by jumping on him? Give him the benifit of the doubt. If he starts up again with the morose BS point him back to his own thread and tell him to shut up.

**Kurdt** , I think the point is, if you REALLY want to change, do it-don’t say it.

Instead of making a thread about how you’re going to change, just CHANGE.

No one will just accept you right away-you have to work at it.

If that’s too hard, well, sorry, I can’t help you.

Jumpin’ Jesus, people. Some teenage wanker wants to start yanking chains, and everyone begins panting and trots off to fetch their leash. It’s no wonder these poseurs can’t get enough of the SDMB; it’s a lamer’s paradise.

Don’t worry about it, Kurdt. This swallowing, swimming bottomless pit of the existentialist beast that kills us all when he use too much hand kick batter will even out the darkness of our rotten souls. Why? Because you are me and I am nothing. This ravenous fell beast that is this pile on, sucking, destroying and trying to kill us all in the end is the apex of the battle which all fades to nothingness.

Does that clear it up?😛

Me? Trolling your thread?  
Two lessons I have learned, one the hard way, the other not, are: don’t attend your own pitting and STOP POSTING. Yes, STOP POSTING.

I say that in earnest.
