You know, friends, in the real world there are more than enough assholes, dicks, snakes, weasels, back stabbers, whining cry babies, over inflated egos, ignorant jerks, agitators, chain jerkers, toadies, lick spittles, useless jack-offs, flaming idiots, tattle tales, professional fools, unscrupulous liars, pompous asses, twits, one trick ponies, incompetents, posturing poltroons, native Minnesotans, galvanized Texans, ring knockers, cheap shot artists, aspiring rulers of the universe, spouses and general annoyances to keep any reasonable person fully occupied. Why anybody cares about this juvenile thread and its expression of adolescent angst is beyond my understanding. You guys either take it out side or go to your rooms – without desert. And I don’t care who started it. ---

> [@Excalibre](#): > > Is there some sort of organic brain dysfunction underlying what folks like **Elvisl1ves** do? It’s that strange trait of trying to argue with everyone in the room that “People do too like me!” He’s gotten pretty clear feedback, and yet he keeps arguing, as though you can convince folks to like you by arguing with them that they ought to. I don’t understand people who simply cannot comprehend the idea that maybe their behavior is unpleasant. Even if everyone else agrees that **Elvisl1ves** is an obnoxious idiot, he can’t admit to himself that just maybe his style gets on other people’s nerves. And he thinks that by yelling and screaming and insulting people, _he’ll convince them that he doesn’t annoy them._ On the upside, I think this thread is a great example of all that is horribly frustrating about him, and why it is so tough to have him on your side in an argument. His need to make everything about him, his inability to comprehend a point, his adament denial of facts presented, his ignoring of anything that doesn’t agree with him, and his immediate resort to insults with a complete lack of substance. Even when presented with cites and evidence, cites and evidence he asked for, he, for reasons I cannot begin to comprehend, completely ignores them. In the face of post 62, 63, etc. in this thread, he still insists he’s waiting for cites and refuses to acknowledge a point. It’s actually stunning to me that he would continue the way he is. ---

My suggestion (which might’ve been better off here) is that there be no more mention of him at all in the other thread, positive, negative, or pleading for him to quit hijacking. He likes to respond, but if he gets the last word in, maybe he’ll be satisfied. Daniel ---

Well, don’t generally join in these pit smackdownfests (though I understand the blowing off steam aspect of thise forum I really think its counter productive), but was just lurking in the manny thread and figured I’d put my ‘vote’ in, even though I’m not a ‘lefty’ (least not on THIS board). Elvis, definitely a grade A asshole. rjung? A bit hysterical, but I kind of like him sometimes. No vote. Hamlet? Haven’t really crossed his path as much. I don’t remember any obvious signs of assholery though. elucidator? Oh my yes. Biggest diva on this board IMO. An asshole of the first order. But definitely very entertaining…one of my favorite posters to follow, just to see what he’ll say next. Anyone else up for the vote? -XT ---
