> [@mhendo](#): > > This is impressive work, **Scandic**. > > Both **Smapti** and **Starving Artist** are involved in this discussion, and neither one of them is the biggest asshole in this thread. I don’t think that’s ever happened on this board before. Kudos. Oh, yeah, forgot to get back to this. Hello, asspipe! Bullied any college kids or board newbies today? Screamed at any elderly couples for not properly reining in their dogs? I mean, you’re such a terrible biting terror yourself that surely you haven’t limited your unceasing attempts to build yourself up by insulting people who’ve said nothing whatever to you to these lame swipes at **Smapti** , **Magellan** and me, have you? At any rate, you should know by now I’m immune. If there’s any one poster on the board I’d like nothing better than to be insulted by, it’s you. For each time you do, you renege on your self-imposed promise not to engage me again. You know, just like you vowed not to return to the SDMB from your suspension so long as a certain moderator held her position, only to return a short time later and…lo and behold…she’s still there!! 😃 You’re a putz and a weakling - as shown time and again by your inability at self-discipline and the way you twist off at the slightest provocation, even when it’s not aimed at you. Thus it’s easy to understand why you’re always looking to insult someone, and why you launch most of your attacks at insecure newbies or people who people who seem to lack much confidence, because the rest of us here can see behind the curtain and it contains a spiteful and hateful little twerp with a big mouth who has little else going for him in life. My interior dialog when it comes to disagreeable nasty little assholes like you is to congratulate myself because after all “I get to me while you have to be you”, and I go on my merry way, very happy that life turned out that way. So go try to make yourself look superior somewhere else. Those of us who’ve been here awhile already know your game, and it isn’t one you’re winning. ---

You make a mistake. Good for you for admitting it. But heaven forfend that it have any consequences. As far as your _alleged_ sarcasm, if you want it to work, don’t make it so similar to your amazingly stupid non-sarcastic mutterings. Hope that helps. ---

You made a mistake too. I acknowledged my error and you failed to notice that when you made your comment. So “alleged” sarcasm, eh? Your contention is that I possibly believe shooting some guy you disagree with is a valid use of one’s Second Amendment rights? Please don’t give anyone sarcasm lessons. ---

You know, just like you vowed not to return to the SDMB from your suspension so long as a certain moderator held her position, only to return a short time later and…lo and behold…she’s still there!! 😃 As i’ve made very clear on numerous occasions, my policy regarding you is not to engage you as if you were an honest and thoughtful person, because you are neither of those things. Which is precisely why i reserve my engagements with you to ones like this, where i point out what a fucking idiot you are. As for my decision to return here, i concede i changed my mind on that. I decided that the presence of a few shitty moderators, and a few retarded assholes like you, did not outweigh the lager number of interesting people and engaging conversations. And, predictably enough, you can’t even get all of your basic factual assertions right. The moderator in question does not, in fact, still hold her position as a moderator. [Hasn’t for almost a year](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=747514). Try to keep up, dunce. > [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Thus it’s easy to understand why you’re always looking to insult someone, and why you launch most of your attacks at insecure newbies or people who people who seem to lack much confidence, because the rest of us here can see behind the curtain and it contains a spiteful and hateful little twerp with a big mouth who has little else going for him in life. LOL. I rarely insult newbies. I challenge you to find more than one or two instances in my tens of thousands of posts. The only insecure people i insult with any regularity are intellectual inferiors like you who have trouble dealing with their own stupidity. > [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > My interior dialog when it comes to disagreeable nasty little assholes like you is to congratulate myself because after all “I get to me while you have to be you”, and I go on my merry way, very happy that life turned out that way. So go try to make yourself look superior somewhere else. Those of us who’ve been here awhile already know your game, and it isn’t one you’re winning. Yeah, sure, precious. You keep telling yourself all that. I’m sure the fact that most of the SDMB thinks you’re an asshole and an idiot and a dishonest piece of shit is only a temporary condition, and that you’ll convince them all of your intellectual and moral superiority any day now.
