And I would not call him a Malingerer just yet.
No PROOF he is faking.
He is, however, a Deserter. He very well be a legit C.O., and maybe a legit gay man. Just with poor planning skills.
Oh yea? Well you’re a fargen schweinenfullen carb dehyrator!
So there. 
So he’s not a malingerer…Just your regular, everyday, run-of-the-mill moron!
Ok, I can accept that.
Excuse this hijack back to the original topic. You know, the Lance Corporal may just be a coward.
Well, I think that’s what started this fight Ranger. Some of us say he’s a coward [sub]coughpansycough[/sub] and some of us say there may have been other reasons.
Oh, and Monty & Otto called people names.
You forgot about yourself there, Spit. You called the LCpl a disgrace, IIRC.
Actually, I said he was a disgrace to CO’s. I called him a coward and a pansy.
And there we are…back to the beginning…you did that without evidence.
Yes I did.
I am using the evidence at hand, and making a decision based upon that evidence. I may be right, I may be wrong.
In my opinion, he is an idiot. He may factually be a genius.
In my opinion, he is a coward. He may factually be braver than Rambo.
In my opinion, he is a Deserter. Factually, OH! He is a Deserter.
In my opinion, he should get a Dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 2 years. Or maybe for the
. Factually, he may, and probably will, get a lesser punishment. He has played the Gay Card.
(Note, I have nothing against gays or gays in the military, but in this case (in my opinion) the statement he is gay had nothing to do with his C.O. Claim, it was a move to garner sympathy and support, or a move to get a dismissal from the service.)
As I said, you can be forgiven for failing to recognize the quote. Yes, astorian could have been more clear about it. However, once you were informed of the true nature of the post, it would have been very civilized if you had at least apologized for saying to astorian, “Fuck you, you bigoted fucktarded fuck.” (Quite a turn of phrase there, BTW.) Now that you have the facts, do you still think that astorian is, in fact, a bigoted fucktarded fuck? No? How about telling him that? Is that really too much to ask?
Apparently, being Otto means never having to say you’re sorry.
There’s really no need to post another “Why should I apologize?” message; we all get the picture.
IMO, his desertion cast serious doubts as to his credibility. Any other claims he makes must be looked upon with some skepitcism.
In fact I do and have apologized in the past, when I’ve actually had something for which to apologize. In this case, I don’t. I have yet to see anything from astorian indicating that the quote-not-presented-as-a-quote doesn’t reflect his true feelings on this matter. If he at some point apologizes for his piss-poor communication and for posting in such a way as to engender the reaction he got from multiple posters, then I would be delighted to accept his apology and respond in kind.
Still patiently waiting for your impassioned plea to astorian to apologize for his original post which kicked this shit off to begin with.
astorian reminded us of an incredibly funny (and well known)skit by a famous comedy troop.
That hardly seems like an offense that requires an apology.
USA! USA! USA!
Wow, isn’t it kind of early in the day to be this thick?
The apology is for the offense given to multiple members who, not knowing the sketch in question, were offended by it. “I apologize to those who were offended by my remark. I meant no offense.” Simple. Classy. Absent from this thread.
And thus Otto completely hijacks this thread.
But…but…It was a famous comedy sketch! (As was pointed out) One of the characters performing in that famous sketch was gay! (as was pointed out) There was nothing to be offended buy in the first place dude.
Now untwist your panties, and call it a day.
Yeah, let’s all just go back to bashing or not bashing the confused Marine. (It appears, BTW, that kevja has fled in terror - he, apparently, understood that his ill-informed, abusive overreaction made him appear foolish.)
