A left-wing atheist gets no points for a username that translates roughly as “False-God Red Red”? You’re strict.

“Triton” is _a_ god, not “God.” No points. 😉

Yeah see, I expected as much. And I think there are a lot more people who have 2008 reg. dates that have been members before because they came back when it was free to post but left their old usernames.

It makes much more sense to know you’ve been reading on and off since 2003 when you made the comments that you did.

In regards to those sigs, I think you got those two backwards.

Obviously that should be ‘mean **t** ’.

Since I got this laptop I’ve been dropping letters (and sometimes even words :eek:) like a motherfuck.

Sure I did. I simply extrapolated from Bill Clinton’s behavior that all lefties are like him, just like you extrapolated from Rove and Rumsfeld that all righties are like them.

Either that, or you’re saying the exception disproves the rule.

I’ll leave it to you to define which is which.

What he is alluding to is that he implied that **Shodan** was nothing, in a roundabout way.

Dude, you’re usually sharper than this. You claimed that tighty righties are polite, I provided counter examples. You painted with the broad brush not me. It just so happens that the people you painted were you and your friends. The fact is some are and some aren’t. Just like some “tighty righties” are smart and some aren’t. You claimed that they as a group were polite, I disagreed with counter examples. Don’t over think it, it ain’t rocket surgery…I deny that such is the rule so I am obviously not saying that the exception disproves the rule. We could go on all day with example after example it is clear that as a rule you and your ilk have no claim to superior politeness just like democrats have no claim to infidelity. You guys do seem to have the market cornered on closeted self hating homophobes getting caught in flegrante delicto…  
ETA: I forgot to address the second part of the post I see Indistinguishable covered it.

I can’t help but read the phrase “tighty righties” and think of the phrase “tighty whities” (referring to brief underpants). Seems about right to me.

Well of course, things DO get tighter when you twist them up like that!

Guess what moron? **What Exit** , also known as **liar boy** was the first one to accuse me of dishonesty.

But I guess a moron like you wouldn’t notice that.

**liar boy** made similar comments in a couple other places, as I recall. Do you want me to try to find links?
