I think **Monster104** is a total dipstick, but then, I have to live with the lil’ bastard. 😃 ---

My take is that he’s about 13 (or just acts that way) and is trying to be clever, but fails to realize that 1) we’ve seen it all many times before; 2) repeating the same not-so-clever trick doesn’t improve it; and 3) if he’d just bother to read the main page explaining what goes in what forum (or, alternatively, e-mail a mod like umpteen people have told him to), he wouldn’t make so many idiotic mistakes. ---

Silver Fire, don’t mind if I ask you, why is Irishgirl a total Dipshit? I haven’t noticed it. any examples, or is it a judgement call? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Crunchy Frog \* > **…but at no time have I ever seen childish behavior, such as proclaiming “you’re not the boss of me” or “I’m not listening LA LA LA LA” encouraged…** Ahahahahahaaaaa. Come on. When it’s not coming from the right camp, some of you guys can get awfully sanctimonious sometimes. Granted, the guy got snippy that people criticized his capitalization, but the way you went after him for that infraction alone was a bit excessive, don’t you think? And **Wildest Bill**? I like him. He’s started some interesting threads. And while I don’t always agree with what he’s saying, I often get a chuckle out of it. That’s kind of the whole point of this place, right? Different ideas, thoughts, and perspectives? Sometimes I get the feeling some people here want this place all to themselves so you can chatter away endlessly with people who are exactly like they are. I’m sorry to tell you this, but it’s a _public_ message board. And so long as the poster adhere’s to the rules and regulations of this place, they can stay. Just because you don’t like them, or they come after you the way you may have gone after others, doesn’t mean they should be banned. Where’s the fun in that mentality? Lighten up, or more importantly, _open_ up a little. ---

What’s-his-name… **djf750**? … pointed out that **irishgirl** , like himself, tends to type all in lower case. Which is true, but she still manages to stay coherent, and pertinent, so even a grammar nitpicker like me will let her off. **djf750** , on the other hand, deserves everything he/she/it’s getting… ---

Personally, I like the loonies. You always learn so much from the debunking process. I never knew as much about the Apollo missions until I got into it with \*\* Sea Sorbust\*\* and went to do the research. And they can be awfully entertaining. As annoying as he was **JDT** ’s posts sometimes almost killed me with laughter. So let’s hear it for the loons! Hip,HIP! ---

> [@](#): > > Gobear, Total Dipstick Emeritus **gobear** , I hate to break it to you, but the reason why they slap that Emeritus on there is because you’re washed up, you’ve lost the edge, and nobody thinks that you are capable of performing the duties of dipstickitude without interrupting yourself with Tourette-like outbursts of logic and wit. I’m sorry, man, but you need to know these things. In truth you will find freedom. ---

Speaking as a newbie, I hope I’m not being a dipstick and I’d appreciate it if someone would tell me if I was. I fled from another message board where being an asshole was in fashion and I was tired of it. ---

> [@](#): > > Speaking as a newbie, I hope I’m not being a dipstick and I’d appreciate it if someone would tell me if I was. Speaking as a (post count) newbie but a (lurker) old-bie, the above statement pretty much disqualifies you from dipstickitude. Sorry. You may want to email a moderator, get your mane changed, and start over again. Damn I’m full of bad news today. 😉 ---
