Well, Ralphie, seeing as that thread which you started with that inflamitory and false statement is still alive, and seeing as you are posting to this thread in your honour, how about an honest answer?

We know that you are hiding out there in monitor land somewhere, so grow some balls or womb or whatever, and back up you assertion. Name one SDMB lawyer who believes that there is no such thing as a frivolous law suit, or retract you allegation.

Of course you will not because you can not. You are not capable of being honest, you pathetic little piece of shit.

[Arnold voice]_You make me laugh. I sue you last._[/Arnold voice] Start being honest before getting on your high horse about your supposed honour.

Nah, his name comes from an old HUgo Gernsback story. _That_ Hugo Gernsback.

[QUOTE=astro]  
I looked at some of your your citations (not all) of ralph124c’s perfidious misdeeds, and he’s mainly guillty of asking a lot of questions.

\<snip\>  
If you want to beat ralph over the head because you’re annoyed that he asks more questions than he answers, you really need to get over yourself. His posting style may not be to your liking, but he’s not doing anything wrong, and for you to be so obsessed with his posting patterns is just a teensy bit odd.  
/quote]  
Bullshit.

If you looked over my citations, you didn’t click on the first one. It’s the one mhendo extrapolated on regarding the hospital mistake. The thread went 2 pages at the time, and he hadn’t responded to a single request for explanation or citation. The same holds true for the the “would I make a good general” thread. The links I provided consist of his last 25 threads - I will guarantee that there are many more instances where it isn’t his coming back to respond to answers to his inane questions, but rather his refusal to back up bogus assertions.

Finally, suggesting that ralph is “not doing anything wrong” is idiotic. He consistently acts like a jerk by constantly crapping out a bullshit OP he knows will rile people up, ignore requests for citations, ignore requests for clarification, ignore rebuttals to his flimsy arguments and perpetuates his insincere debating style thread after thread after thread. If you think there’s nothing wrong with that, I’d like to know where you get that idea.

Its the

’ i heard the other day that xxxx happened. what do you think about it?’

or ’ someone told me yyy was cool . Is it?’ threads which grate me.

That, and filling his threads with statements instead of having a debate ( which is annoying in GD especially ). Is is worth having a debate around an un-citeable rumour someone once told Ralph?

Defo a worthy pitting.

Except that’s not the issue, **astro**. The issue is not his asking lots of questions, it’s his seeming disinterest in discussion. That is, after all, the purpose of a message board. Moreover, he seems to have a tremendous habit of posting bizarre or inflammatory questions and then not ever explaining, clarifying, or defending them.

> [@](#):

> And all you others piling on and calling him names, shame on you. He’s not a troll and impling that he is, is really petty.

I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em. Everyone is guilty of trolling at some point, to some degree. He has, IMNVHO, more of a tendency than most to post just to get a reaction. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and I’m not at all suggesting that’s his whole purpose here. I ain’t sayin’, I’m just sayin’.

And like I said, **astro** , I truly don’t believe he’s trolling. I just think he’s really that fucking stupid.
